I guess this answered my question as well too risky

Is it just as bad to drive in the arvo as it is during the night with the cops and all

yes and it being a dry zone they will have constint rbt's all over the place. its not worth the trouble

haha i took my 32 with straight through exhaust down there. didnt have any issues, but i had my mate up ahead scanning the roads and was gonna call me if he saw a RBT or what ever. i remember sunday night i think it was driving down to near the right on the water, basically as close as u could get to the action by road in a car, i was meeting up with my mates that were all there in a hotel thing. i was f**king stressing, like going through the back roads, turning my lights off and parking every so often. as im sure u guys know, cops f**king everywhere at night. anyway finally made it there and slept the night in my car, well i use the word slept loosely.

yes leave your car and yourself at home there is so much trouble and it's getting worse every year dont put yourself in that situation

its not to bad, its just the toolies you have to worry about

oh and if you lose something like a wallet etc. dont bother going to the cops. we found one and they said do what we like with it :s

stay with a group of friends and youll be ok

being a local and experiencing many schoolies(and all the shit that goes on) i dont think they are really out to get ya. i never really had too much trouble with them.

this year though it will be at home as it is defectable! but if you dont have that problem then i would say you should be fine but expect unwanted attention!! if you dont want/like then leave it at home. i got a mountain bike to ride where ever i need to get to these days

but the first year i had the skyline i actually took it out. i was pulled up by a group of under cover cops like 5pm on the friday arvo after pulling out of a bottleo... search my car over(not for defects, but drugs im guessing) but found out i was local and then layed off a bit. started asking me all sorts of questions about the car, like whats it worth. how fast have i gone, is it quick. which i thought was funny! they were fine and had no motivation to defect me(although the car was mostly stock)

most of the weekend i left it at home til me and a couple mates wanted to go driving. i had 2 'ss' cop cars following me. fortunable i knew the back streets of my home town very well and i avoided any probs with them by taking a coulpe extra turns in my drive home.. i reckon thats where my trouble would have been if they had of pulled me up

then i was drive from work to home on the monday and they pulled me over for a rego check. and let me go with no issuse.

last year a mate of mine was pulled up but the 'ss' but the cop in it was dence and didnt know what he was doing( BOV's vent exhaust gasses to ATMO...well according to him. oh and a standard return valve is illeagel. haha)

so do want ya want really. thats my experiences with and my and a mates car.

i have had other run ins with the police at schoolies when i was younger, but i dont see me being that stupid now.

being victor resident as well. i personally wouldnt bring it if it's defectable. i'm hoping i dont get done driving to and fro work. theyve already started defecting cars done here, from what i've heard new cop in town defecting , he's nice enough but wi;; defect ya anyway. but if you got a stock car, go for it just be sure it's safe at night.

the thing that shits me about schoolies is that they show it on the news every year, and they say shit like oh fights at schoolies, waa waa waa.

get over it, it happens every single year, why report it every single time as if its something new.

      Thanks Santa (the neverending trials of the 400,000klm, 400kw, RB30, manual swapped Stagea)

      Thanks Duncan! Yeah it's street use for me only. Maybe occasional track day. Any difference in noise when running with the two pumps? I would expect the lift pump to be more quiet than the main pump so hopefully not? And yes, unfortunately quite a big price difference to the simple hanger setup. Though I'm usually willing to trade money for better reliability and future-proofing. Buy once, cry once and all that. I'd be very happy to never have to deal with fuel pump / wiring issues again

      The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p

      Bonnet clearance?

      On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.

      So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
