Having moved to Melb in Feb, i was surprise to find just how different the place is.

In general it is all good so far, but i have to ask what is with Chappel Street? The car scene down here is much more Fast and the Furious with decals being more important then quality mods, or is it just the area/cars i have seen.

The pubs/clubs are great, and the ppl are far friendlier then in Sydney... and with the area im in there is a lot less imports getting around, and the term bogan, whilst the term was lost on me in Sydney, having seen plenty of Commodores on Chappel Street the other night...lets just say i now understand the bogan thing.

So when i get my car down next weekend, whats doin? Its been 6 weeks since i have driven the old girl, and 6 months since i have been on the track... i need a fix! :(

Im a big believer in each to their own, but even by my standards its pretty woeful/pathetic to be doing laps around Cahppel. No offence to anyone out their that enjoys it!

Im currently living between Brunswick and Lygon, happy with the location but nothing in the way of cars. Except fo the panel beater down the road that has GT3s and TVRs etc.

yes, Melbourne people are far far friendlier than their Sydney counterparts! and I found that Melbourne as a city is much nicer to be in and around compared to Sydney...

Sydney has so much.........um.........superiority complex? the people I mean....I found them to be that way anyway......no offence to any decent Sydney-ers :-)

MAS sounds like a go then.

Jamezilla... are you the same James i met at the NDSOC meeting the other week? (i was the blonde fella boring Goeff to death)

Have to say, i liked going out to the places on Chappel, just couldnt belive id walk out of a pub 3hrs later to see the same Commodore or BMW doing laps revving them up in neutral.

as an ex NSWer that moved to VIC... WHAT'S DOIN? lol I haven't heard sum1 say that in ages since I moved down... oh glorious what's doin?

As for the bogan scene... the "wogs" here aren't lebs n goat lovers, they're greeks n italians... now one half of em is into imports and the other half is into their commodores... dunno many of em into falcons.

Chapel St sucks ass... its full of excels with stickers n shit.

Black R32 could be me, I park in one of the streets between Brunswick n Nicholson (after Alexander Pde going towards the city) coz my gf lives there. I've got a GTS tho, but you can't tell unless you heard me drive off.

So whats doin is a Sydney thing then????

Hey Funkmonkey, that GTS ive seen a few times would be you then! You seem to spend a bit of time there, has she started hitting you up for board yet? :(

Every Skyline i walk by i check for SAU stickers, havent seen any yet.

KamikazeR33 ... i was down for 3 months, but i just took a full time position, hence yet another change in accomodation...something a little more long term.

Winton runs 2 to 3 days a month, prob is its on Weekdays, so ill have to sweet talk work.

Im going to head down to Calder for the drags to see what i can muster. But Calder circuit, Phillip Island or Sandown are all on my wishlist of nice fast tracks i want to try out

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
