If your car look nice and neat, and you stay away from the plaza on a thursday night you'll be fine.

If you're driving a fish tank with crap hanging off every corner and no springs you'll probably attract more attention than you'd want.

To put things in perspective I've 3 skylines, all of them kinda noisey and fast looking and I've had no troubles. I used to cruise around a lot on thursday nights too. I usually don't do skids around every corner though, and I don't have "P"ull me over plates either.

Not to open up a can or worms or anything, but when my parents where considering on moving to Sydney they where told that anywhere is fine... as long as it is within the the Manly Daily's distribution area. This was around 1993 mind you :yes:

Having been to Penrith an epic 6 or 7 times in my life I can truthfully say that the only bad thing I found about the place is that it is a significant drive for me to get there and back.

i get all my work done by sasha at canak autosports at production place, as for other workshops, hitman is in borec rd, also craved coatings all your powder coating needs there too.

+1 for Canak Autosports. Sasha knows his imports inside out. Does great work too.

Having lived in both cities, I can assure you that in no way is NSW as strict as VIC.... :cool:

True...

nor is policing in this state as covert/clandestine as down south.

Around Penrith, there are some unmarked as well as marked police cars that patrol the straight stretches along Castlereagh Rd & Springwood Rd.

Police also hide sometimes behind bushes in 2 spots along Bells Line Of Road.

I hear from 1-2 workshops that they've had to engineer cars after being defected at night-time after meetups at Panthers' Maccas/KKs/KFC. This all happens as I'm reading a book or Zzzzzzz - and my car is Zzzzzzzzz lol

Wow, I just love Hills people. All snobbery, no class.

Penrith's fine. And there are Japanese imports aplenty. Have been for about five years now. Probably since the last time the Hillsong mob slummed it down there on missionary work. Hallellulah!

You have a great day now.

AMEN BROTHER! lol

although I *think* the hillsong zombies do have a holdout in minchinbury? *shudders*

used to run the vodafone shop in Rouse Hill Town Centre, ugh gimme the riff anyday

As others have said, Canak Autosports near the dick smith powerhouse

Race Solutions/Hitman just behind Nepean Motor Group

Wholesale suspension near the Heartland Holden (got the impression that they're 'love them their V8's types' but they're a good bunch in my experience :blush: )

i work at penrith, nothing much to concern about, the plaza is full of gangas though

There is no emoticon to express the trueness of this statement :)

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
