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.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.

      Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?

      @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man

      Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
