Hey guys, As of next week im moving to melbourne as I have got a job there. I will most likely be bringing my R32 GTSt(RB25DET) along with me and im interested to know what the scene is like over there now. I moved over to perth from melbourne about 3 years ago and there was not many imports around at that time. Do you guys have big cruises there and how hard are the Police on giving out yellow stickers over there. I understand that if your caught doing something stupid or at an illegal racemeet you would recieve a yellow (canary/defect), but do they just randomly pull you over and give you one if they feel like it?

Also, who are the people who have lots of Parts, and work on/tune skylines the best. Which workshops? I know asking these questions is making me look stupid but Id like to know.

Anyways hope you can answer some of my questions. I hope the Melbourne scene is as good as Perth cos im sure gonna miss cruising down the sunny coast and with all the good clubs over here.

Cya soon guys.

Kim

Yes. Welcome to Victoria, the place to be defected!

Also, who are the people who have lots of Parts, and work on/tune skylines the best. Which workshops? I know asking these questions is making me look stupid but Id like to know.

There are quite a few well known workshops in Melbourne, perhaps not the least expensive, but all the below have several years experience in Tuning and working on high performance cars:

RacePace Motorsports

Evolution R

N1 Distribution

Techniks Tuning (AutoRacingTechnick)

ICE Performance

Anyways hope you can answer some of my questions. I hope the Melbourne scene is as good as Perth cos im sure gonna miss cruising down the sunny coast and with all the good clubs over  here.

There havent been many cruises lately, but summer is closing in so should be rockin again soon!

Just what i wanted to hear guys :) . I hope its not as bad as you say it is.

Few of my freinds and relatives who have Imports say that you only get defected if your car looks like defect material.

It's like anywhere. Do the wrong thing in the wrong place and you'll get done.

Hang with the wrong people, you'll get targetted.

Drive around like a normal person and you have much less chance of getting pulled over.

1. Don't drive like a tool = less chance of defect

2. Don't have a super-dooper-mega-whistle-hearitbeforeyouseethecar BOV = less chance of defect

3. Keep your car at a reasonable height = less chance of defect

4. Don't be a rice cooker with neons and stickers = less chance of defect

I have had a 33 with pretty major underbonnet works, loud as, but have not had that defected.

I now have a 32 with damn loud exhaust, but all else looks stock... (so far) no trouble.

As with anywhere, if you cause trouble with your car, expect to be bent over.

Welcome to Melb!!

PS I am going to Perth this arvo on business! Better be some good weather :)

Im not like that at all, dont worry , we have the same sorta, Look at me, type imports that get constantly stickered over in Perth too. My cars clean, stickerless and in perfect condition.

Im heavily involved in the Perth car scene and Im far from some ricer idiot. I will be up in the Northern Suburbs, however i will be in the South eastern suburbs a lot as well.

How are the proper legal drag drags there at calder? Is it a good dragstrip and how is for spectators. We have Kwinana motorplex down here and it is excellent for both spectators and racers. Im a firm beleiver of keeping racing on the track and off the street.

Itd be nice to catch up for a cruise down there.

They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
