depends what sort of area u want and how much ur willing to pay for rent etc.... im bout 15mins from surfers.

yeah well im looking for a house around 300kto 350k ish, i was like at kingston and daisy hill, like 40 50 mins from surfers, any good?

im after some place theres less trouble n newer area n stuff, coz i dont wanna no cornulla riots n shit while im there, coz im sick of everyone in syd lol be honest.

or even to rent or share an apartment where located at surfers or near.

i guess theres plenty of options to chose from lol

ummmm depends i was looking at houses in the same sort of area eagleby beenleigh tanah merah cornubia those places sort of didnt appeal its got alot of bogans and trouble.... for that sort of money u can sort of buy in coomera ormeau pacific pines area which IMO are good areas.coomera is booming reallllyyyy fast.when u coming up ? should sort of have a look or show u around some places if u want..so u can get an idea of the areas and whats around.. sort of between bris n goldy its sort of still not very devolped im sort of north gold coast and i love it i sort of though twice about moving up closer to brisbane... but if u want to sort of see whats around ill help ya out..

well i'm from loganlea and its really not that bad, everyone disses the southside of brisbane but its got more going for it than the northside IMO - I have springwood and the hyperdome, aswell as at least 5 large commercial areas only a short drive down the road, never ever any planes flying over your house etc.. only a short drive to the gold coast, and house prices are at least reasonable..

yeah thanks for the reply guys. im think of either mid this year or late this year, coz i wanna do a fitness degree first, before i move down, although i also wanna do hospitallity too lol, how are the job oppotunitys there? like not labour n anything, not not white collared, coz im working behind the bar atm, and also promo for several syd night clubs n stuff, so yeah...

well im off to work, ill come back tomrw sometimes check up on the thread.

big cheers..

in my opinion, the sunshine coast has nicer beaches and has more retirees, whilst the gold coast has more tourists and more cops that hate import drivers...

but then again, the gold coast is closer to brisbane if you plan on living within access to the city

but if you are going to live inner city, i'll still have to put my balls behind the northside :P

i live on the sunny coast, i like it better then goldy aswelll to live.

but my suggestion is to come up, rent a place for 6 months, have a look around then buy in a area where u like, u will be able to travel to the goldy area and up to sunnshien coast noosa with ease and even stay a weekend in each area over 6 month period.

should work out ok for you if u do it that way i think.

yeah.. i was thinking of doing that too, rent a place for a few, settle for jobs n stuff, then shop around for houses.

anyone skyliners looking for ppl to move in with :) :)

northside of brisbane sux dongs

shitty roads, no decent computar stores, no freeway

southside is where its at

Im not going to get into the which is best or worst...

Its simple, find a job. Get the name of the suburb and them look for a place near where you work...

Simple...

I work mostlly on the northside and that where my family is at so therefore I live on the northside...

Personally i think Sunshine coast has better waves than the Goldcoast and far more communities to visit. (Noosa, Maroochydore, Coolum, Calundra, Kawana, Pelican Waters)

Tip tho, the city is on the north side of the river, so if you want to work in the city move northside cause as soon as there is an accident or a bridge closure your screwed... So on that basis Northside FTW...

Down side tho is the average flat, town house, house and land are all higher average cost than the southside...

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
