i happily pay $11 a day for parking for the convenience and to avoid public transport! only time i catch public transport is a cab, and work pays for it!

$11 is cheap for the city!

But you also have to realise I don't have a nice salary like yours.

Haha its pretty bad.. but least I don't have to pay $8 a day for parking..

$8 a day? I can only dream of that. parking in my building is $38 a day (early bird) and $56 if I don't meet the early bird requirement. that got old pretty quick...

yeah, a couple of hundred a week just for parking could be money better spent somewhere else I reckoned so now I catch the train. harbour bridge traffic in the mornings was driving me nuts too. now I just sit on the slow, stinky train and read or listen to my walkman. :) or sleep.

well laaa deee daaaahhhh!!!

lol!!! i just prefer driving!

rigghhhttt! what does that have to do with this convo? i don't spend elsewhere so i can pay for parking.. you could too i'm sure! for me a weekly ticket is $35, plus light rail $20-40, so screw that! And carrying 3 bags around.. once again, screw that! so your salary comment is totally irrelevant.. its a lifestyle choice and my lifestyle states not to park at a station, not to get up at 6:30am, not to be burdened with a zillion bags on a packed train and not to use public transport.. easy!

i used to play $25 early bird at the old building.. but that was aout 3 times a week.. i couldn't really justify it! but i was able to happily park my car at a station, and walk away.. not so easy to do now!

yikes.

at townhall it's $16 a day for early bird at st andrews car park. here at wynyard it's around the $20-26 mark for early bird. I usually drive around and have a look at the prices of different parking areas near my work. But i hardly drive to the city now so it's all good.

lol walkman

that's soooooooo 1995

LOL! a guy on the bus sitting next to me the other day had a cassette walkman. i giggled quietly.

yeah if u got heaps of shit to carry then fair enough. i couldn't really justify spending my return bus fare ($11 - or twice that amount at wynyard) + fuel cost + wearing out a car everyday to get to work. if it was free parking? hell yes i'd drive!

bus actually isn't too bad if u get used to it. there's heaps more buses and it only takes 45mins each way now thanks to the lane cove tunnel. the day i drove thru vic rd = over 1hr. screw that (even tho i MUCH prefer driving).

get a motorbike. parking is free in the city.

or is that scooters?

motorbikes are free as well i think. i've been considering this option for ages but im afraid of other cars on the road. even whilst driving a car i drive assuming every car around me will hit me.

I hate it when, you drive past a group of ppl and they go "RIP IT RIP IT.. DO A BURN OUT!! "

f**kin go get a life.. go rip yourself..

N i also hate it, when you are a set of lights, and a car full of ppl yell shit out to you..

This one time, at a set of lights(night time), with my windows up (very dark tints), i had some dickhead in the car next to me yellin race me idiot.. race me.. Even call me an idiot..

Some ppl are just asking to get hit..

I know there are heaps off cops with imports.. Im waitin for that day when they do something to them, and the guy who comes out of the import is a cop!! ohh would have loved to see that..

hhaha i get this all the time .. so the the door opens up and i get the extendable batten out..hahah should see the look on there face then and they take off...hahaha

wankers !

now ive got a new toy ... i wanna try it out and watch them curl up into a little ball when it hits them...

    • careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?
    • OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
    • I’m thinking that’s the route I’ll  go, thanks for the input!
    • Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting
