Adam you should be used to the area as your gf lived in donvale right next door. I found that ringwood is better (but not that much more) than nunawading. Was so bad for me living in that area surrounded by warrandyte, doncaster, ringwood and nunawading which all have cops that love to pull over and defect imports.

I havent had any trouble at all sinse i moved lol (touch wood). I found ringwood was only really a problem when your driving round after midnight. Usually ok before that and during the day.

Very nice looking dog too. Good luck with the whole move.. :yes:

PS my ex used to live in bayswater and its not that bad compared to springvale lol

Ypu honestly think the nagging will stop when you move out....nope the nagging baton is passed to your gf from your mum....enjoy!

haha, no I never planned on it stopping, but basiclly my gf was never allowed over at mine due to my mum, made things really difficult... and Bentleigh to Donvale isnt a stone through away driving to every day/second day. So seemed like a logical move.

Yeh, I know I should be, but this is like border ringwood-ringwood east, which I had ventured too much, I know the Nuna/Mitcham/Donvale area pretty well... I also already know that cops arent supurb(thanks for the heads up anyway)... all my defects and most fines have been on maroondah hwy.... driving back from my gf's at night.

I am a little concerned about alot of people telling me to look out for ringwood at midnight onwards... dont like that too much, but is it the drugies/rats or gangs/violence or all of the above?

Well my advice is.....Dont do it, stay at home as long as you can, in fact remain there rooted to the spot forever. Nagging is a small price to pay. Shit just gets done at home, once out of that shit has to be done by you. No fun!

Unless of course you have a few million spare whereby you can buy a place and someone to cook, clean, garden and do your washing as well. If that last part is at all close, where are you moving to, and do you want a boarder? hahaha.

All of the above and the 3 or so clubs dont really help with that so they are always doing their patrols. But if they have nothing to do and see a skyline drive past they will do a u-bolt quick smart and be up your ass in 2 seconds.

As long as your not doing anything wrong and your cars pretty clean looking and not too defectable you should be right.

One of the times i got defected in ringwood, they tried to get me for wiring in engine bay not being tied every 30cm and my tyres having no load rating (which they did). And my ride hight because left side of the car was in the gutter so the exhaust was a lot closer to the road so they made me move it into a flat carpark.

Excellent post.

If you think your mum and dad nag, wait till you start picking up after your GF her dirty socks and undies... and the dog crap...

Seriously, you dont know how easy youve got at home... you are only 20... stay at home till your folks boot you...

Your current priority should be finishing uni/trade and getting a real job. Then buying a house and renting it out... then once you have more money you can do as you please.

Indepedence is a small price to pay for what you will be missing out on if you move out.

Your GF is also only young and will not be looking after you unlike your mum and dad.

Also be prepared to be broke a lot more often especially when the rent increases.

Yeah look I've lived in Boronia my whole life and I always feel safe walking the streets, I mean I was running at 11pm last night. It's not that bad of an area. I'd sure feel safer our here than the Northern or Western suburbs or Springvale for the matter.

Lol, I get what you mean with white Springvale, Bayswater is sure that way though the Asians and Indians are slowing moving in which is fine :blink:

I think any area you live in always has "undesirables". I see junkies in the most expensive of suburbs and it sure beats living in the city with no parking, no garden, no room and a shoebox of a apartment convincing yourself you're "living the life" simply because you're walking distance from that bar, nightclub or yuppie café.

hey! i resent that remark, i may have a small place with one bedroom, no garage, no garden and about the same floor plan as a sardine can but at least i can walk to acland street and trend it up and walk to the beach and sneak glances at half naked ladies

I guess i enjoy it so much coz im from a small-ish town, so maybe in 12 months it will wear off.

My gf doesnt nag at all, i just give her a taste of the back of my hand if she does

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I myself AM TOTALLY UNPREPARED TO BELIEVE that the load is higher on the track than on the dyno. If it is not happening on the dyno, I cannot see it happening on the track. The difference you are seeing is because it is hot on the track, and I am pretty sure your tuner is not belting the crap out of it on teh dyno when it starts to get hot. The only way that being hot on the track can lead to real ping, that I can think of, is if you are getting more oil (from mist in the inlet tract, or going up past the oil control rings) reducing the effective octane rating of the fuel and causing ping that way. Yeah, nah. Look at this graph which I will helpfully show you zoomed back in. As an engineer, I look at the difference in viscocity at (in your case, 125°C) and say "they're all the same number". Even though those lines are not completely collapsed down onto each other, the oil grades you are talking about (40, 50 and 60) are teh top three lines (150, 220 and 320) and as far as I am concerned, there is not enough difference between them at that temperature to be meaningful. The viscosity of 60 at 125°C is teh same as 40 at 100°C. You should not operate it under high load at high temperature. That is purely because the only way they can achieve their emissions numbers is with thin-arse oil in it, so they have to tell you to put thin oil in it for the street. They know that no-one can drive the car & engine hard enough on the street to reach the operating regime that demands the actual correct oil that the engine needs on the track. And so they tell you to put that oil in for the track. Find a way to get more air into it, or, more likely, out of it. Or add a water spray for when it's hot. Or something.   As to the leak --- a small leak that cannot cause near catastrophic volume loss in a few seconds cannot cause a low pressure condition in the engine. If the leak is large enough to drop oil pressure, then you will only get one or two shots at it before the sump is drained.

      Help! Leak coming under transmission

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
