Hello everyone,

As some of you know I now work in Mile End and still live in Victor Harbor.

But a mate from victor has got a transfer with work up to town. He works at Castle Plaza. So our jobs are fairly close to each others. And we are thinking of getting a place together as it's better than driving 800 km a week.

Just wondering if anyone has any good places to recommend or suburbs. I know squat about adelaide.

I would prefer to be within walking or riding distance of where i work.

Looking at around the 200 dollar a week mark. So 100 bucks each.

Even if you know a real estate agent that would be willing to show us some places that would be good.

Looking at doing it in January.

Thanks.

Well, I reckon the east side is the best, being 15 minutes driving from the city in the morning during traffic and not having little groups of thugs walk around vandalising shit at night is kinda cool

try Richmond, Melroses Park black forrest and Daw park

Ascot Park, Edwardstown, St. Mary is close to his work but not the best area

rostrevor, athelstone, campbelltown area, firle, etc.

if i have to go the eastern suburb

I will live around burnside, max up to firle

any further north is only average surburb, not worth the travel (20mins)

yeh i live off montacute road..(rostrevor) pretty chilled suburb man, shit neva happens here, quite alot of drags up montacute thought from the forest ave lights, if u see a grey skyline represeting its me. haha most likely dragging a commodore

same dude, yeah rostrevors cool, not too far away from the city (10-11min drive to centre no traffic & 18-20mins during morning peak hour) and the best way to make your way to either old norton summit or montacute road cruises to have a bit of fun or a relaxing drive in the car.

Thanks for the replys peeps.

We are going to go to a real estate agent after work one day next week.

I'm getting a bit excited. I know i will miss being at home for a while but will be nice having to look after myself.

Good luck mate

Perhaps look into the Plympton area - close to Mile End and Edwardstown, near the tram line etc. Close to town and Glenelg, Anzac Hwy area.

Lol, I moved out when I was 17 and have never looked back. Rented for a little while down the 'bay prior to buying a small home. Hahaha, god that brings back memories, the crazy trippn midnight triathalon we had was a classic ! :(

I live in South Plympton. Got Castle Plaza about 5 min drive away. tram a 2 min walk from my house. train about 10 - 15min walk.

My g/f has just signed the papers for a place in glandore. About 45 sec drive from my place now. she is paying $120 a week for her place.

If your looking at something with public transport to and from the city i live in the middle of everything really.

Just a few suggestions

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
