Im going to be living and working in Fitzroy Jan thru April, and have a few questions you guys may be able ot help me with.

Firstly the place ill be staying in only has street parking... how big an issue is this? Car theft/vandalism etc whats it like in Fitzroy.

Also, i keep reading about the Vic RTA/EPA/Police are so strict down there, so having a car with an external wastegate and plenty of other goodies, will having NSW rego help me, or am i screwed as im guessing the NSW plates will mean im even more likely to get pulled over.

get the gate plubed back to be safe.

fitzroy can be dodgy pm me the street and I'll give you a further run down ..

jsut make sure you have a removable face plate on your audio.

there are plenty of of housing commision flats in the area. and parking is a bitch cause all the yuppies live there and have 3 cars to one house when the houses went even designed for parking for one car :D

but plenty of restraunts and good food.

jsut be on your guard and dont wash your car:) that always helps

cheers

It doesnt open until about 4200rpm, so easy to drive around. :D

In syd its not a problem having mods that arent too lary, but in Vic im getting ready to be raped of all my money and patience, ill just do what my mate did, jimmy the bonnet latch so 99% of ppl cant open it, worst case a defect for faulty bonet latch!

I dont even know the street name where im staying, im looking forward to the move, but you guys sure have me worried about the nazis.

my external gate will be done with av band flange so for normal driving it will rejoin the exhaust but i can disattach it for dyno, track, drags etc! Then the cops wont hear the roar when the external gate opens in normal traffic

The coppers cant epa,canary your car also they cant take points of your licence if its interstate so youll be safe.

Ive heard that around the traps... so it is true, they cant defect a NSW registered and licenced car/person.

So wheres the best place to go for drinks, and find girls with an open mind?

    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work 
    • You can just get the injector bosses, which allows top feeds to fit. He can use the same injectors without issue, like these (another option): https://rocketindustries.com.au/af59-2210-rb25-fuel-injector-inserts     The Racework ones look a bit better: https://www.nzefi.com/product/raceworks-lower-injector-mounting-boss-kit-for-r33-rb25det-s14-s15-sr20det/   You could also just get a similar kit like the Radium one by Plazmaman: https://plazmaman.com/product/nissan-rb25det-r33-billet-fuel-rail/?srsltid=AfmBOoogfYq49X0fu2Wdbf8yOf6zt9egyPAif_gn3Qr3G8hzAphhTgOkO70
