Hey All,

Just moved down here a few weeks ago from Sydney. Living out west.

Not too sure what the rules are down here for registration. Do you need a RWC every year when it's time to re-register your car?

I've also seen there are some threads for wreckers etc, does anyone have a preferred wrecker they go to?

My R33 is a bit damaged and I need to do a bit of work to it here and there.

I'm in Truganina - which is next to Hoppers Crossing.

Hmmm luckily don't have too many mods yet, guess I'll just need to make smart mods and try and hide them as best as possible.

Yeah I've heard that if I drive into the city, there's a pretty good chance of being pulled over.

Hah!

Westside eah...

You will be welcomed by the the Nissan Sideways (Nissan Silvia) members and there are quite a few SAU members out there as well.

1 intake mod only in VIC, so if you got an air pod, not allowed to have a front mount intercooler.

If you got a front mount intercooler, no air pod allowed.

It you got both, box up your air pod.

exhaust, just keep it quiet and you will be fine.

height, keep it above legal limit (100mm I think) you will be fine.

Drive responsibly and stick to the law and you will be fine.

Welcome to Melbourne!

Welcome to Melb.

You are now apart of the fine state where good old joe citizen is reamed for our state governments revenue raising strategies. Welcome to the fold of seeing your tax dollars, fines and tickets go towards Jack crap.

Hi EXTR33ME,

I'm in the Hoppers Crossing area too. Haven't seen many Skylines around our area thus far. Is your GTST a white one? Do you park at the station? I think I've seen your car around.

Edited by theponyremark
whats wrong with us westsliders ?? :) we have heapps more fun =\

anyway im near by to you dude if you want some help with wreckers an that pm me

Hi alr33x,

Nice to see another Westsider around :P

Can you please advise me of any nearby wreckers for 33/34 Skylines?

holfords in spotswood are good but he is getting out of parts so depends what you need, ekw down from dr drift is very good too and deer park wreckers have bits and pieces, what exactly do you need?

the for sale forum on here is pretty good too

theres heaps of imports around here mate..you'll see em!

I'm after an after market handbrake cover. I bought a few from Autobarn and Super Cheap Auto, but they are all shit and don't fit well. They use super small grub screws that don't tighten at all, in fact, they fall right through :(:( I removed the old worn leather, it looked like something just died...

Not quite sure where to go to get a decent handbrake cover...

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
