Hey guys

I've recently moved to Melbourne from the Gold Coast for work and even though im still settling in I couldn't resist cruising around anyway during that time.

my reason for this thread was to ask all you fellow VIC SAU'ers of the whereabouts you guys meet and greet or even cruise around.

I had a bit of a drive around Melbourne CBD on Friday night but found nothing that led to a common area you guys meet at.

Even though I spotted a few supras and skylines around, they seemed to be going about their own business.

I'm currently situated in Watsonia.

so if someone wants to send a PM to meet up and possibly show me the g.o with things here that would be great :)

Cheers

Sloane

keep an eye on the event section for cruises ,events , and general catch ups.

as many will tell you, skylines in victoria are the boys in blue most 'liked' car, so just be carefull out there on friday night cruising. :)

Welcome To Victoria Sloane

thanks guys for the responses.

Thats unfortunate to hear about what was mentioned above.

I did meet the owner of the Vic plates (WTF) supra on the gold coast and he did explain how he was pulled over various times back at home but since he has moved to the Gold Coast he wasnt hassled much at all.

Well i'll keep my eyes open for any events posted up.

but yeh if you guys are up for a meet n greet send a pm.

lucky i have GPS cause ill get very lost otherwise.... roads here are alot different lol

Cheers

Sloane :blink:

watsonia... ha ha i live in Greensborough

If you want random meets you need to join NissanSilvia.com because they have random meets every week

but as mentioned above, this is the state to be defected

welcome to Vic... enjoy your stay :blink:

Try HERE? for some big cruise events, also beast club is meant to be pretty good, never been but there is some good youtube videos of there cruises.

These are just general car club cruises so the majority of cars are fords and holdens but there are some nice others in there as well.

Welcome. Yeah, our CBD roads are more hectic than in QLD. Love downtown Brissy and the wide multi-lane one-way streets. Takes a bit of getting used to, but I think it makes it more efficient in the end.

if by beastclub you mean the group of cars at Krispy Kreams every friday night then not a good idea to take your skyline there.

i've been a few times to grab some midnight donuts and always see bloody hoons flying out of the exits onto the the main road, doing their own donuts in the carpark, just pure hooning.

now that dont account for all the members, but there is always one in the crowd that likes the attention, and as a fellow SAU member on here found out, that hoon got the attention....a few cop cars to block off and inspect cars hanging around ...

i my self have been cought up in a few of there cruis's down princess some nights... every set of lights is a drag race with them.

If you drive normaly and don't anything stupid on the roads cops won't pull you over.

So don't worry too much.

Check events section for cruises.

Hopefully a Beach to Burger Cruise is coming up soon.

Bullshit, i was driving normally when i got pulled over and defected, if you truly believe that cops dont go after skylines then you are fooling your self, all these newbies coming on here asking which bov makes the best noise and which exhaust makes the most noise makes us a target, hence why im selling my skyline and moving onto something just as fast if not faster but the cops dont even know what it is.

hi guys, abit off topic but i just moved up to melbourne to for work i havent moved my car here yet but from sa i dont plan on changing to vic rego and plates or my licence but can the cops still defect a sa car over here? i was told they just give you a fine for each defect?

LMFAO!

My car is stock...

Moving on to 5 years of owning it and been pulled up afew times...

1 defect, thats why the car is now stock (As in stock Cat Back Exhaust is now back on) and about 3 times for licence checks... Nothing major.

Doesnt happen offten.

You know what is legal and illegal, stick to the legal mods for your car, you will be fine.

When i got defect he picked 2 items but i only got one fine, driving an unroadworthy vechile so im guessing you will just get one, if your lucky you wont get any.

As for defect, i would assume that no matter where the car is registered if its not up to local laws they could defect it, dont know how much affect it would have though.

yes but sa road laws are different to vic, like i can have a pod, big fmic in sa there re heaps of different mods we can do legally but in vic you cant? and i got a massive list of mods to my car and we dont have emissions where im from ether. and a defect in vic wont affect the rego in sa because there not linked and wont show up on transport sa system? so really i can just rip if off and say it isnt there as such?

also do you have rally/race rego over here because i can get it quite easy over in sa, an since the car mainly dose race days and the od weekend drive i might be better getting it.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
