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 :)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
