There is an exit on the Federal Highway coming into Canberra a few km's before canberra labelled "Queanbeyan". You can turn off this exit (as its still in NSW) and come into Canberra via Queanbeyan (might add 30 minutes to your trip). There are no police at this exit (or there wasnt last night).

You could also turn off at the Bungendore exit, and come into Canberra through Bungendore. There are ways in, just might add 30 - 60 mins to your trip here.

Hope this helps ;)

Yep - Macs Reef Rd, - through to Bungendore then Qbyn---as you are coming down Fed Hwy from Goulburn the turn left into Macs Reef is about ?5 kms before border. If you go past Caltex and Eaglehawk then you have gone too far....

Not sure whether forums are being monitored though so advise to still take it easy

Also coming in at night might be easier than during daylight

Haven't heard anything yet on what Barton Highway is like

Suggestion for cars on trailors: remove rego stickers and number plates and if you get pulled over then tell the police that the car is not registered and is ony for shows/races, hence the trailer. Just make sure that the number plates aren't actually visiable in the tow vehicle, but well hidden from view.

I also wouldn't be surprised if the NSW police have their own inspection station before the Canberra border.

Man i Cant beleive that you can get defected for a car thats not on the road (on trailor). What if your building your car up and trailoring from workshop to workshop can a cop pull you over and defect you for whatever??

ps; I think aus police are really not winning over hearts and minds with in the car enthusiest community by pulling "STUNTS" like these , I remember they did this at Eastern Creek last year defecting ppl upon entry and exit of the event.

It's like NATS is the bait to Lure car enthusiests in and they see what they can hook, Now i dont condone dangerously modified car's and think they should be taken off the road as soon as possible but harrasement is harrasement .

I think the govt is trying to take a hard stand against the practice of vehicle modications because of the various social problems that it has been associated with over the years. Surely it does not imply that it is the root of the problems. But unfortunately that consensus is not shared by the majority of society

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      R12 has not been not available for....decades now. Propane is not a great replacement. (I mean, it's a great replacement, but it is a bit too flammable). R134a being the only way to go forward with an R12 system. The design pressures etc, are close enough to R12's to work. The ability to move heat around is close enough to R12's to work.

      Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      By V35_Paul · Posted

      careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?

      OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
