Good idea thanks.

I'm 7km from city and was thinking how else to commute. $140/month Myki for a short trip isn't great value, neither is parking in city.

 

Or maybe I join the vwl bandwagon and get a motorbike emoji55.png

Yeah get an Ebike, theres heaps out there pretty sure my mate can hit nearly 100km/h on his too if you want to! 

Would pay itself off in a year or so.

Electric scooter ftw

They weigh about 8kg folded and 25km/h / 25km range out of the battery

We have one in the office we use to piss off th OH&S guys

I have the  chrome version of that nismo one, and exact same thing, chrome wearing off to a cheap red thing below it.

got that nismo logo burnt in hand a few times in summer as well.

 

But is very well weighted and comfortable

That's pretty decent given how small it is.

Is it similarly sized to fold up scooters that used to be all the rage back in early noughties?

Yeah mine must have been the chrome

I wouldn't have knowingly bought a fake, most likely it was just not built for Australian summers

yeah I got mine from a nismo authorized re seller same time as the engine mounts and gearbox mount, so pretty sure it real and same senario

Black paint might hold better

I didn't think you were the type peruse SE Asian markets for Gucci knockoffs

Same issue here with the Nismo knob. Bought from Nengun from memory.

Maybe Birds' one is the fake lol

That awkward moment when Nismo gear is cost-cut outsourced trash and the copies are better

Can get them on eBay for $500-800 depending on battery size / motor.

Little bigger than them, with bigger / all terrain wheels. But still very compact.

140 a month would be a prepaid 30 day wouldn't it? So you can use it how ever many times you want? But if you were to just top it up to the same amount and make use of it only on work days solely in zone 1 you would save money I would have thought? Unless you live in zone 2?
 
$7 a day buying the monthly top up would still be half of what parking must cost at a minimum?

Cheaper to prepay @ $140/month
Parking around docklands is $20/day

Don't know these city feels

Even with monash roadwork bullshit I'm home to my hoon-ridden street in 20 max. Think I could clock 15 mins once it's done.

    • You guys are amazingly knowledgeable and I appreciate it all so much. I’m currently at the local RB tuning shop, getting her inspected and diagnosed, for the t-case debacle and everything else. I’ll keep you guys posted!
    • Like @Dose Pipe Sutututu mentioned, 10W30 on a built motor would not be a great idea. As for the steel wool, we think alike as I went ahead and put SS wool into my catch can as per my above posts. 
    • I am going to chime in here and say that is very bad advice for a built motor, making decent power of 400kW+ Especially if the rings have been gapped on the looser side. The more power you make the heavier you need your oil to be to be able to maintain that suspension between the moving parts, if not you'll have journals and bearings making love and grenade a motor. Remember that all moving parts inside the motor aren't ball bearing and are journal bearings and require oil to separate the surfaces from contacting.
    • Yeah I noticed this just now. No doubt she will be running smoother next start😂🤣😂
    • ENR34 manual transmission transfer cases are 33100-23U00 which is shared with all of the R32/R33 GT-Rs and GTS-4s. And the C34 Stagea. Do not bother with automatics, that is a huge effort to swap and the car will be worse for it. And an automatic transfer case does not have the right housing for the shifter which comes out the back of the transmission and goes through the transfer case. I already posted my response on reddit but if you didn't see it there here it is: You have almost certainly damaged the transfer case, the only question is how badly. Nobody can tell you how bad without more information. If you have a giant hole in the transfer case pissing out all the transfer case fluid then you need a new one. If it's not that bad then the only question is whether you burned up the clutches. Drain the transfer case oil and inspect for metal on the drain plug magnet. Small black filings are normal. Big chunks of metal or a ton of black fuzzies not so much. Fluid should be nice and red. Any other color isn't great. If the color is reasonably red and there's not a bunch of clutch material discoloring it or anything like that you probably got away with insubstantial excess wear not worth trying to fix. If you have to rebuild or replace the transfer case keep in mind you have to pull the transmission to get it off.
