I DO like the occasional non descript stuff so thats what im tryin to find.. cluey t-shirts, nice dress tops, maybe some jeans whatever .. shieeet that when i come back to sydney some random hottie will come up to me and be like "hi nice clothes can i suck you off?" then ill be like "yeaa thats the true beauty you're seeing and its the best way to get to know me".. then ill punch bob in the eye and jump out the window with my cape.

WOOO best adventure EVARRRR.

Ahahaha, you have a VERY vivid imagination...

krzysiu - As for the hook turn i think meggala will have to demonstrate first - I've heard about it.. seen it.. i still dont get it.

Reminds me of an episode of Pizza where the boys take a trip to Melbourne, and run into Nick Gianopolis as a Taxi Driver, :D

ROFL! Hook turns! They crack me up, had a friend from SA here, she thought I was trying to kill us!

It's really pretty simple when u see it. On green you enter the intersection and in the left lane and wait in front of the stopped traffic untill your lights go amber, you then look to see that traffic flow has stopped and turn right like the pic shows once the stopped traffic has a green. Good luck!

HAH thats EXACTLY what I thought of too.. "dont you know bloody hook turn you sydney poofta bloody!" haha made me cack so hard.

Thanks greatly for the diagram+picture adz.. that's priceless mate I appreciate that very much.

So.. lemme get this straight.. your stopped at the lights (diagram guy 1) light goes green.. you hook it left.. stop (diagram guy 2).. then another light somewhere goes amber (I assume from red) and you continue your turn (diagram guy 3) ?

LMAO nice pics and illustrations... yeah i shit myself when i first came to melbourne... i was like.. "OMG what the **** are u doing!!!"

then i was like... "thats retarded"

Yup pretty much spot on. The light you'll see go amber is the one in front of you and it go's amber from green just like normall. You just have to sit there in front off the stopped cars and watch the lights in front of you, once you see it go amber you can look behind and in front of you, if the traffic has stopped then you sweet to go.

Just one word of warning though, don't just assume they have stopped when it go's amber, more than likely some d|ckhead will put the foot down through the amber light and T-bone you so be carefull but in the end I bet you'll find it's eaaasy.

I'm confused now.

Is the purpose of the hook turn to get you behind the people who cued across the intersection?

I think ill watch first.. sounds stoopider the more I think about it. O_o

ha.. you got sucked in by the "other airport black hole for tourists" - just because its in Victoria doesn't mean its anywhere near the city or civilization as we know it. Its like boganville except a bit worse..

no its too confuse people from other states/countries into killing them selves

:D its so funny because its true.. haha

You are better off walking too, as you'll get a speeding fine soon as you even get into a car - its a new "Get in your car Tax" Bracks is introducing, in conjunction with the "new -20km/hr speeding tollerance" for any given speed sign.. Its great stuff - but can be tricky to work out :D

As far as I know, the hook turn is there so you don't stop tram traffic that is travelling the same way as you.

Behold my MS Paint skillz:

pg1.jpg

See, if you turn like you normally would, you stop tram traffic from continuing on through the intersection, thus ****ing things up quite considerably. They sit there going "ding ding ding ding ding ding" .... etc until you move the **** out of the way.

Predator - LOL. i'll feel right at home sounds like sydney.

Just outta interest why do you say I'm goin to the bogan airport? I thought the qantas/jetstar one is the bogan one and the virgin one is the good one?

Oh dear.

[edit: well you got me scared so i checked which airport I am at - Melbourne International Airport, Virgin Blue Terminal, Airport Drive, Melbourne VIC 3045, Australia]

Thanks Chubb ROFL love your eleet skills.. it actually makes sense its what i was thinking but forgot about the trams.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
