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

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
