SMH article here.

One of Sydney's most familiar sights - the thousands of new cars parked bumper-to-bumper at White Bay - will disappear in 2008.

Shipments of imported cars will move from the Glebe Island and White Bay wharves to Port Kembla under a plan announced by the State Government today.

Port Kembla?? I had so much fun driving my cars out of the docks down James Craig Road.. the day I picked up my car I sat outside Liquidity and just watched all the people who also were getting their cars out..

Also be heaps of extra costs getting a towie from Pt Kembla to your RAWS / workshop if needed.

I'm not surprised...

It was only a matter of time before property developers rape and pillage that massive waterfront area.

That my friends, is PRIME real estate, and is being wasted as a holding ground for imported cars :P

I can only imagine how many hundreds of millions that land will fetch on the developer market.

if the Docks in Port Kembla are still controlled by the same group who do Glebe now (I forget their name), then there'll be no security issues to worry about :( The old dodgy wharfies were all booted out and the new guys came in and took control. Wharf security has improved out of sight since and we haven't had any issues since the change over.

I surely hope they will continue to be run by the same guys... Roger and Kelly down there are good and it'll be sad to see them go.

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
