Well after a recent trip to melbourne for a very unfortunate event... i reckon melbourne is better...

Ive been a few times before but this time it really got to me i guess....

To start the roads are much better, wider, smoother, i did not see 1 pothole at all!

The city is eaiser to navigate, of course it has trams and is set out on a grid

parking is soo easy just about everywhere

girls are hotter definately

car insurance cheaper

houses cheaper

pubs are nicer, not filled with pokies and plasmas

they play AFL not this shithouse league crap

the girls are alot more attractive

it is definately a more coffee/drink based city with lots of beautiful places to chill, relax and i love the laneways around the city!

they dont have peak hour, it is more like "it will take you an extra 20min to get somewhere" in peak hour, compared to our parra road, bridge shithouse infrastructure!

did i mention the girls?

generally better vibe, people are nicer, esp on the roads

every road is so wide! footpaths are wide as too and all so smooth

went out to st kilda and acklin st on a monday night, pubs were almost packed, people everywhere esp girls :)

no potholes to rip wheels apart

4 lane highways! everything is linked better!

umm wat else... i could keep going i guess...

downsides

weather

beaches

brown river instead of blue harbour

stupid names for beer sizes

too many hot girls

ummm all the roads are straight :P

so much is based in sydney!

any additions to my list? from both NSW and VIC people, as this is posted in both areas :)

NSW VS VIC Debate shall we call it

I love Melbourne. I wouldn't say the girls are better looking but I would say that they are more friendly. All the people are. Much less competetive.

You can easily drive around without a map. Lot's of straight lines.

I used to regularly fly down for weekends with mates I met out and about. They would all come up to Sydney for a weekend out (about 2-8 of them) and we would go down there the next weekend. Revolver FTW! (yes I realise what you Melbournians think of me now.)

melbourne ftw!!!!

they did a study on sydney and apparently people there are more arrogant....dunno how true that is cos that was a story by either today tonite or ACA - and you know how brutally honest those 2 shows are :P

I love Melbourne!! It's so much more relaxed than Sydney!!!

I used to live on the border when i was at Uni, so we'd drive down to Melb every weekend for the football!!! It went off!!!

I'm going to Melbourne tomorrow to go look at a few shopping centres.... so I've got the credit card prepped.

yeah i heard about that... its pretty true... but thats cause their work ethic is f**ked... they can pump out 3 days of work in 5 days... thats why they are so relaxed and happy...

I stayed in Sydney for 3 months before we moved to Melbourne... at bondi junction... when you put aside the fact the city was planned by a 7 year old with sim city 1.0 its not that bad... better then bloody Launceston which was just based on a 4yo's scribble with a magnadoodle...

weather is more reliable... at least you know if the suns out... its going to stay out lol however when i was there they had one of the worst hail storms or storms in general ive ever seen (and im from NZ ive seen some bad storms).

Overall i would rate Melbourne better... it is a far better planned and livable place and i do agree the people are more friendly in general, not that the sydneyites arent, they just seem to be more relaxed down here.

Sydney to me is a lot like NZ... nice place to visit... but be f*ked if i would live there if i had the choice.

EDIT:: oh yeah and dont get me started on the rivers here... when i 1st saw the yara i wanted to throw up... looked like everyone else already had anyway. As for the beaches... you have to drive around an hour from the city to find a nice beach... st kilda beach isnt a beach... its a place for junkies and vagrants to go and wipe their arses and sleep.

i go fishing in the river sometimes, i'm expecting to hook a dead body one day...

f**k the rivers are filthy in melb... but still love this place!

as for the pot holes theres f*kn heaps... puts me off getting coilovers lol

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
