As the title says my GF is planning to come down for a week from Brisbane :/ and I was just wondering where you guys would recommend going? What are the sights and places to go? Admittedly outside cruises and a few bar/club nights I don't travel around Melbourne all that much and considering that she's from Brisbane I'm thinking Lunar Park is out of the question. I have one idea which I just saw on some TV show was Mornington Peninsula that seemed alright. Oh and she's a very outgoing person and loves cars just as much as me (Admittably I don't think I'll get to drive my R33 all that week *sigh*...)

3. Goldfields - Sovereign Hill Ballarat, Bendigo

4. Yarra Valley for wineries... though not sure how much is burnt out now

Go for a cruise up over the black spur and through Marysville? Maybe a little depressing, but facinating all the same. I'm told Marsyville is a beehive activity as people rebuild.

1. Anzac day match at MCG - Go the Pies!

2. Eureka Skydeck

3. Ice bar

4. Shopping at Chapel St / Chadstone / Collins St

5. Crown on a Saturday night - I've been to the Casino at GC and it is crap so she'll enjoy the experience.

6. Restaurant Tram (This is surprisingly good and very unique to Melbourne)

7. Princess Raceway on Friday night

This could easily all be done in a weekend.

That is what i would seriously do

(minus No.7)

Dude... that shit costs like $140 pp for dinner on a weekend (not including beverages). I could think of far better ways to spend $300+ with my gf on the weekend.

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
