So far so good, but i keep getting lost around the place.

Drivers here are very very polite most of the time and always give way, other than a few black sheep. This evening, had a holden just cut into a small gap between my accord and another car.

And one more thing, how do i get to the RMIT city campus from blackburn? Which highways and all? I know how to get there via public transport but occasionally i wanna drive there, its more convenient, albeit expensive. So its just an occasional indulgence.

ive driven to uni - rmit as well... its not worth it mate, if ur going to though:

budget an extra hour to get there,

pay for petrol instead of a zone 1+2 concession daily which is ~$5.50ish?

pay for parking... there is some decent parking next door to rmit tafe where if you get there before 10am you get the early bird special = $12 for the day...

but there are other shitty places near where they cram as many cars in as possible and take your keys so they can move your car out the way for the next car.... and scrape it in the process and not care about it.. :laugh:

so to deter u more...

I have driven in before...because I missed my train and cbf waiting for the next one.... but I did it in my gf's 89 charade... personally I wouldnt take any decent car into the city in peak hour.... to then leave it there all day at a dodgy car park...

lol chances r u gonna be late! or u gotta get up really early alvin

I always wake up late!

Like for a 8.30am class, i sometimes wake at 7.45. So sometimes, i need won't rule out the need to drive.

But is it worth it? Say, i have a 10.30am class, and i drive to school. But then again, parking is a huge pain.

I actually drive to blackburn station then take the train to melbourne central

I bet once you get your skyline you won't be doing that. Having it broken into a few times at the station will teach you to drive all the way or not at all. Stations are a hotspot for thieves, and they have the security of knowing that they aren't going to be disturbed by the owner until the next train comes...

Point noted, i'll probably take the accord to the station and let my girlf drive the skyline i reckon. Since she'll be schooling at bundora and i won't be getting the skyline till 6months later minimum i guess. Its so hard to get a job that fits around my school time table.

Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
