Hey guys,

Heading out in the city tomorrow night, going to stay at my Dad's apartment which is located on top of Melbourne Central Station. We figure its cheaper to drive and park rather than paying for 5x2 (Sat and Sun) adult train tickets.

Just wondering if any of you know some cheap parking near Melb central that we can leave the car in over night. We will be getting there before 5pm and leaving after 11am the next morning. It's an old, insured bombodore so we're not concerned about security or anything.

Cheers.

All weekend or just overnight?

Just over night, Saturday night to be specific.

Doesn't even matter the car park closes as we will be getting there before 5pm on Sat and leaving after 11am on Sunday.

I was thinking Crown is fairly easy to get to, and relatively cheap, even if it is a bit of a walk to Melb central. Is it still a flat rate or per hour?

Yeh, was going to say old royal women's car park as well. I park there everyday for uni (RMIT), its also on Cardigan st, 3 blocks up from the other Alvin suggested . takes 5 mins to walk from there to melb central. Its 5 or 6 bucks overnight

Now i know, is it always full?

Nah, it only gets full from 11:30-1:30 each arvo, but you just wait at the bottom and within a couple of mins a car will leave. its 9 bucks all day for students, I used to park at the one you spoke about, was like 14-16 dollars a day and they give you that crappy little coin and the spots are all tiny.... this one you get a ticket so you can come in at 12am at night and still get your car out...

9$ sound pretty alright.

Car is a bomb, security isnt a concern.

Royal womens one is decent, few other dodgy places around there that i often use for uni, but its a bit risky for an overnight stay

never had a single problem the 7 months i used to park the car there when i was with my ex

sometimes it was friday to sunday it was there

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
