Just a quick question. If I was going to be working in Dorra for 6 months, where abouts in Brisbane should I be getting my employer to put me up?

Up to 25 min drive of a morning will be fine. Has to be a furnished apartment, and I have a $1000 week allowance which includes return flights to Melb and fuel when I’m up there, so I suppose about $700-750 a week.

Do I need to be asking for more money to get a nice place in a fun sociable area?

Dorra or Darra?

And is that $700-750 meant to pay for food as well? If not god damn, you could get a heaps lush place.

If its Darra its actually away from the city. If you got a house out Forest Lake way, you would have hardly any traffic to work, and have $400 min a week left over out of that allowance. Just imagion the line after that! :(

Get a nice furnished apartment at Kangaroo Point or New Farm. You're right in the city for fun and at the start of Ipswich road for the trip to work. You can easily do it in 25minutes outbound in the morning and it still won't cost you anywhere near $700 per week.

Darra, mate that's right next door to the outlaws where I'll be staying in a couple of months (Oxley), until I get a place to start work on.

Dammit, once I show you Brisbane you will not be wanting to move back to Melb or Syddley for a long time.

Think Forest Lakes or something like that. Around the Wacol development, or maybe I can quickly buy something, throw the hall runner near the garage down you are so fond of sleeping on and pocket the cash after giving you a bogus receipt to split the "rent" :D

One thing i know that is already wrong with QLD. Queensland Raceway :P

With tracks like Eastern Creek, Sandown, Wakefield, Oran Park, Phillip Island and Sandown all down south...i doubt QLD Raceway will hold my interest.

I am actually trying to get out of it at the moment, as the job is going to be real difficult...but everyone else is too switched on to let me hand ball it to them so looks like im stuck with it.

Oh well, i will get to se Brisbane for a while :)

Yeah Morgan pk is good... why do some people rave about eastern ck-sure the straight is fast as is turn 1 but after that its one fkn frustrating medium/double apex corner after another. Iv done laps there in club car stuff and it never impresses me. Phillip Is..now thats a different story..I was lucky enough to go round in the passenger seat of a V8 supercar there and an F40 Ferrari

I quite like EC, perhaps because my car isnt all that quick so its a good mix of corners. I love turn 1 and 2...i love the big stops where your heart is in your mouth hoping you havent gone in too late...thats why i love Sandown.

Anyway, tracks aside im sure i will fall in love with Brissie pretty quick. I was keen at first, but the job will be tough, so will need plenty of outlets for my hatred of the 9-5 grind ;)

Southside = lame

Pity your work dealings arent on the northside.

The new track at kilcoy will certainly be great. Depends on how long your up here for if you will get to see it in action. Lowdnes helped design it and test it. He reckoned it was good stuff. Maybe you should stay longer then 6 months if thats what it ends up being.

Its always good to get away from the mexicans and spend some time with good ole banana benders.

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
