As the topic states, my wife and I are flying into perth on Saturday and staying for 5 days. Just wondered if anyone had recomendations of things to see and do.

We are staying close to the city center and will hire a car for a few days to get around. I understand it is a long weekend and wondered if anything special was happening?

Swan valley is cool if you're into food/dining/wine/beer ect ect..

Also, head to the Subiaco strip or Freo strip for some great spots for coffee and good grub..

There is the bell tower, but it isn't much to write home about..

I'd suggest heading out to York if you're here for a few days, quite a few things to have a gander at;

Try and get down to Freo to check our Peter Bigg's motor meuseum. It may be the last chance you get to see one of Australia's greatest motoring collection (his lease has been terminated with no other site found, so most of the cars will be getting sold or going into storage)

His other meuseum in York is also worth a look if you do deceide to "do" the swan valley.

If you here on thursday 5th and want to see some of Perths performance street cars on the track, there is an Event at Wanneroo Raceway. Starts at around 5.30pm and goes until about 10.30. Entry is $5 per person. Realisticly you would need your own transport to get there as theres no public transport out that way at that time.

If you want further details let me know. :down:

Have fun in Perth mate, it isnt THAT great to be honest, but there are some good things to do here

Yeh, i agree. Wave Rock is fantastic!! If your in the area, DEFINATELY go check it out!! Fantastic, and as much as I'm enjoying giving Marko shit for advertising his home town, Hyden is a great little town to visit. Not exactly close to Perth tho.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.

      It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

      Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
