As the title says my GF is planning to come down for a week from Brisbane :/ and I was just wondering where you guys would recommend going? What are the sights and places to go? Admittedly outside cruises and a few bar/club nights I don't travel around Melbourne all that much and considering that she's from Brisbane I'm thinking Lunar Park is out of the question. I have one idea which I just saw on some TV show was Mornington Peninsula that seemed alright. Oh and she's a very outgoing person and loves cars just as much as me (Admittably I don't think I'll get to drive my R33 all that week *sigh*...)

Go for a cruise up over the black spur and through Marysville? Maybe a little depressing, but facinating all the same. I'm told Marsyville is a beehive activity as people rebuild.

1. Anzac day match at MCG - Go the Pies!

2. Eureka Skydeck

3. Ice bar

4. Shopping at Chapel St / Chadstone / Collins St

5. Crown on a Saturday night - I've been to the Casino at GC and it is crap so she'll enjoy the experience.

6. Restaurant Tram (This is surprisingly good and very unique to Melbourne)

7. Princess Raceway on Friday night

This could easily all be done in a weekend.

That is what i would seriously do

(minus No.7)

take her to a hotel and plough the shit out of her . . .

:)

6. Restaurant Tram (This is surprisingly good and very unique to Melbourne)

Dude... that shit costs like $140 pp for dinner on a weekend (not including beverages). I could think of far better ways to spend $300+ with my gf on the weekend.

Epping plaza

Epping RSL

Epping Football Field

Epping Leisure City

Epping Hotel

Epping Petrol Station

LOL @ Epping Petrol Station.

    • Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action
    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
