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

well roy if u get pulled over i would have to say u took the risk of driving a car with an external gate so its really your own fault

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.

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?

    • had 4 weeks off over xmas and well did some stuff to the shed and BRZ, well short of is I don't work full time in supercars anymore as of yesterday.........
    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.    
    • No, with a twin plate clutch flywheels and clutch pressure plate/friction disks go together. Only clutch where that isn't the case is the Uniclutch but they currently don't make a pull version for the Getrag R34, just some other cars. Personally the flywheel is as light as I'd want it to be. It already drops revs faster than I want to shift normally and I blip the throttle again to rev match on upshifts.
    • Are there any other lighter flywheels that can be used with nismo coppermix twinplate system? Id like to gave the revs pick up faster than oem
