Hmmm some interesting ideas. Been told that Syndall's not that bad a place to park and ride either.

I'm actually considering buying a bike to ride to the station... it's only a couple of Km's away anyways. That way I cut one bus out of the equation making work just an express train and a tram away.

Would suck if it rained though. Might even get a fixie so I can pose like a trendy yuppie. Are bikes allowed on the train?

noble park station is pretty good

if u get in before 7:30 there are spots available

or you can just park across on the residential streets, like a 1min walk across.

and as stated earlier, heaps of cameras. Police station right next to the station.

for reals?

isn't noble park station where that african gang kid got stabbed and the cops keep tellin people to avoid travelling through?

if your going to be on the train during peak hour (i think you mentioned 8am before)... dont take a bike.... it realy wont be appreciated.

I dare say someone will end up reshaping your bike by kicking it repeatibly as I've witnessed someone do once, just after richmond station. :(

syndal isnt quite as safe as mount waverley. mrs used to park my stagea there daily when we lived there. i would NOT park at glen waverley.

So having moved back to Melbourne and living in Dandy, and never having had to commute regularly during normal hours, I've hardly ever caught the train into the city etc. Do those of you who live around the area, do you guys drive anywhere closer to the city and park there before training it in the morning? I suppose, what stations are "skyline safe" to park at these days in the ghetto? How do you get into the city in the morning?

there's a bus stop near the tafe, walk there and take the bus to station, train 2 work and car stays garaged :(

lol

lol yeah that's what I've been doin, but it takes like 1.5 hours all up to get to work :happy: 3 hours a dy stuck in public transport... fuck that.

for me, living in Dandenong as well, skylines and any train stations is a big no no. U could park it at the 24 hour Coles on Princes Highway and just take a 10min walk to the station. No guarantee of safety though.

I used to park at the Caufield Dan Murpheys when i was goin to uni. They had surveilance on the parking lot because they got sick of people doing burn outs and stuff. Not sure if you can still park there though because they were trying to get rid of people parking there that wern't customers.

I used to park my R33 at Dande station for 5 years without a problem. My V35 got keyed within 1 week though :)

Ended up buying a excel for $500... park it anywhere without thinking twice about it... leave the good car at home. Park at Yarraman cause there's heaps of spots and don't have walk through any morons that usually hang around Dandenong station.

Parked the ceffy today at Syndall and caught the train in... lets hope its still there when I go home.

that said... Glenny line > Dandy line. The train and even the people on the train are much much nicer. lol. The women are less skankier though, but they make up for it with good looks and quality.

Time to go ceffy shopping :down:

if you are lucky you may be able to salvage some of the window glass from the ground

lol sif steal anything from a stock standard ceffy. the camry parked next to it was more done up. enjoy your standard cd skipping japanese cd player that doesn't go past 90 on FM radio.

BTW if you are hotwiring my car, can you fix the electrical issue that makes my driver side highbeam come on when i turn the car off?

well car seems unscathed, no one decided to steal my stock standard jap cd player. :P

negotiated with employer today to work from home and only come in if really needed.

instant win.

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
