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.

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.

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
