The things we have to do for distant relatives.....

My father's cousin whom ownes a holiday resort in Sweden has called dad on the weekend asking for a favour...bloody relos...

And this favour happens to mainly involves me...like i am gonna drop my life here, put a stop to whatever i am doing and cancel my plans for him...pppffffttttt... some nerve i tells you...

Well the task at hand is that his Swedish accountant's Swedish daughter :wassup: is coming to melbourne for a seminar/course and i am instructed to show this lady around town and make sure she has a great time. :)

So i was just wondering, even though i have some places in mind to take her, what are some spectacular landmarks/venues/places etc. to take her and show our wonderful melbourne culture,spectacular scenery and hospitality to make sure that she will want to come back for more :)

It be great if you guys can post some places that will impress her as i need to start making plans soon...

anyway i think i will stop my whinging :) now and wait for some great ideas. :headspin:

:thumbsup:

Show her ya backseat!

Do it properly and im sure she'll keep coming back!

Take her to a beach, a nice beach, prolly get her nice and wet! :D

Theres no beaches in Sweden they have to go to another country (Italy i think) to go to a a beach.

Ive been a swedish tour guide b4 :)

In Melbourne you could show her speed cameras, maybe get defected...you know...a bit of Chaps cruising.

Otherwise this dump is a bust so get her to Queensland!!! And don't waste her time on the 'footy'.

Healesville

Zoo

Dandenongs - eg. Puffing Billy

Beach - 12 Apostles

Daylesford - hot springs

Footy - dont listen to Geoff

Museum

Scienceworks

Restaurants - there is a great Aussie one in Berwick (The Dig Tree - i think) serves kangaraoo/emu/croc/goanna/etc

I-Max Theatre - some people think its exciting

Cruise down the Yarra River

Phillip Island - penguin parade

Bar 20/Mens Gallery - im kidding

Lilydale/Yarra Glenn - wineries

Mt Buller/Mt Stirling/etc - scenery is amazing or go horseriding/white water rafting/skiing (depending)

Casino

Melbourne has heaps of stuff for tousits to spend money on - check out websites - heaps of tours etc.

Tourism Victoria - http://www.visitvictoria.com/

Ask her what she wants to do while shes here - she'll probably have it all worked out by herself what she wants to see and what she doesnt.

Boring!!!

Victoria, you can live in it....but it feels like crap, even the strip clubs are second rate. The worlds most livable city as long as you stay underground.

A few laps of PI is worth the effort but penguins??

GOR is one long speed trap and the rocks are, well, rocks.

Mountains?? Where does she come from? Europe! Been there and done that on real ones no doubt and as for our excuse for snow...... She'll need acres of sand and endless sun with evenings of Bundy and good seafood, rainforest and other tropical delights such as rafting at Tully (ok a bit of a drive then)

Wine, well plenty of Whine in vic...like an airport this place but yeah I prefer the Goulburne valley...or better yet, adelaide

Queensland

Oh and a rugby union game or two. I recommend Northcote, Melbourne or Harlequins for good games.

I can't believe you suggested Scienceworks Bec. It's nearly enough to have your SAU membership revoked.

My Mrs is Canadian and when her family have come over they have really enjoyed cruisin to places such as the Black Spur and the surrounding area's including Warburton.

And wineries are a good one too. Nothing wrong with getting Sweedish chicks drunk mate.

And is she's stella and worth a weekend away - go to Lakes Entrance as the beach option. 90 Mile Beach is the best beach. Otherwise if its just a day trip - The Prom. Sqeaky Beach is cool and they have all those parrot things down there to crap on your head if you take some bread or something.

But don't go to Scienceworks FFS!

I had a swedish exchange student chick stay with me for a year when i was younger...... (hm good times) We took her to lots of places but i remember she liked the rialto viewing deck at night alot. Umm goin to some of the rainforests, prom, beaches and stuff are always good. I guess its just a matter of showin her stuff that she cant do at home. Oh and theres always the pub 2

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
