New To Melbourne Car Scene

[Sloane]

Hey guys

I've recently moved to Melbourne from the Gold Coast for work and even though im still settling in I couldn't resist cruising around anyway during that time.

my reason for this thread was to ask all you fellow VIC SAU'ers of the whereabouts you guys meet and greet or even cruise around.

I had a bit of a drive around Melbourne CBD on Friday night but found nothing that led to a common area you guys meet at.

Even though I spotted a few supras and skylines around, they seemed to be going about their own business.

I'm currently situated in Watsonia.

so if someone wants to send a PM to meet up and possibly show me the g.o with things here that would be great

Cheers

Sloane

mate i hate to say it but if you are looking for random meets you are in the wrong state. this is victoria: the place to be defected. best to keep an eye out in the vic events section things pop up from time to time

[RBPOWA-(TJ)]

keep an eye on the event section for cruises ,events , and general catch ups.

as many will tell you, skylines in victoria are the boys in blue most 'liked' car, so just be carefull out there on friday night cruising.

Welcome To Victoria Sloane

[Sloane]

thanks guys for the responses.

Thats unfortunate to hear about what was mentioned above.

I did meet the owner of the Vic plates (WTF) supra on the gold coast and he did explain how he was pulled over various times back at home but since he has moved to the Gold Coast he wasnt hassled much at all.

Well i'll keep my eyes open for any events posted up.

but yeh if you guys are up for a meet n greet send a pm.

Try HERE? for some big cruise events, also beast club is meant to be pretty good, never been but there is some good youtube videos of there cruises.

These are just general car club cruises so the majority of cars are fords and holdens but there are some nice others in there as well.

Welcome. Yeah, our CBD roads are more hectic than in QLD. Love downtown Brissy and the wide multi-lane one-way streets. Takes a bit of getting used to, but I think it makes it more efficient in the end.

if by beastclub you mean the group of cars at Krispy Kreams every friday night then not a good idea to take your skyline there.

i've been a few times to grab some midnight donuts and always see bloody hoons flying out of the exits onto the the main road, doing their own donuts in the carpark, just pure hooning.

now that dont account for all the members, but there is always one in the crowd that likes the attention, and as a fellow SAU member on here found out, that hoon got the attention....a few cop cars to block off and inspect cars hanging around ...

i my self have been cought up in a few of there cruis's down princess some nights... every set of lights is a drag race with them.

[Rav]

Princess hwy can be fun, But epa for sure are not fun at all.

[HEKT1K]

I work in Greensborough dude... there's a few good drives around there.. and not too many cops hassling skylines in the NE suburbs

PM me

If you drive normaly and don't anything stupid on the roads cops won't pull you over.

So don't worry too much.

Check events section for cruises.

Hopefully a Beach to Burger Cruise is coming up soon.

Welcome to VIC!

Bullshit, i was driving normally when i got pulled over and defected, if you truly believe that cops dont go after skylines then you are fooling your self, all these newbies coming on here asking which bov makes the best noise and which exhaust makes the most noise makes us a target, hence why im selling my skyline and moving onto something just as fast if not faster but the cops dont even know what it is.

[llama_au]

I've never been pulled over in either car

[W0rp3D]

I have had the car for over 18months and that was the first time, only takes one.

hi guys, abit off topic but i just moved up to melbourne to for work i havent moved my car here yet but from sa i dont plan on changing to vic rego and plates or my licence but can the cops still defect a sa car over here? i was told they just give you a fine for each defect?

LMFAO!

My car is stock...

Moving on to 5 years of owning it and been pulled up afew times...

1 defect, thats why the car is now stock (As in stock Cat Back Exhaust is now back on) and about 3 times for licence checks... Nothing major.

Doesnt happen offten.

You know what is legal and illegal, stick to the legal mods for your car, you will be fine.

When i got defect he picked 2 items but i only got one fine, driving an unroadworthy vechile so im guessing you will just get one, if your lucky you wont get any.

As for defect, i would assume that no matter where the car is registered if its not up to local laws they could defect it, dont know how much affect it would have though.

[Travis Trayhern]

yes but sa road laws are different to vic, like i can have a pod, big fmic in sa there re heaps of different mods we can do legally but in vic you cant? and i got a massive list of mods to my car and we dont have emissions where im from ether. and a defect in vic wont affect the rego in sa because there not linked and wont show up on transport sa system? so really i can just rip if off and say it isnt there as such?

also do you have rally/race rego over here because i can get it quite easy over in sa, an since the car mainly dose race days and the od weekend drive i might be better getting it.
