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.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
