Hi all,

I'm seriously considering taking a job up in the sunshine coast working between the company's labs in buderim and noosa, just wondering if anyone could recommend a good location/suburb to look for rental properties, i've been on realestate.com and searched buderim and mooroocyhdore but the properties that come up are pretty expensive for what they are (ie: look like dumps!) unless i'm paying over $300p/w which is beyond my budget...

I dont mind a bit of a drive to work (but not too far!), so what areas are not too bogan or dodgy, and have reasonable facilities, i dont need to live next to a beach or on the waterfront or have fancy views either.

Will grab the local saturday paper this weekend and have a look but just asking if anyone can recommend an area to live in?

cheers :(

Unfortunatly thats the around the minium price for mainly houses up here now ( townhouses around $250-$270) ,rentals are hard to get and they go quick if they are available.Some not bad areas are kuluin,buddina and minyama.If you go into mooloolaba,its nice there but there aint cheap and it is getting bad for theft lately.

Just a thought if you can find people you can trust try share accomadation?

If you get luck you might get a person renting there property out privatly which is a bit cheaper too.

Good luck

well depends on price, i've been sharing for last 2 years so was kinda keen to get my own place but yeah depends...when are you moving? I can PM you if i end up taking the job if you like and we can go from there?

Actually i think i met you once on the bribie island cruise, all i can remember is that you mentioned something about rolling a r31? maybe it was someone else?

what kind of lab work do you do?

i did honours in a lab working with mice doing stem cell transplants and running the usual boring stuff like SDS-PAGE and ELISAs...

Tim and myself work for private pathology labs, do routine blood tests on patients - eg: hospital inpatients, after hours medical centres, but the bulk of the work comes from our company collection centres..VERY boring stuff and doesn't pay great either

What work are you in wazza? sounds like you must be in research or something

haha thanks for the suggestion daz, i'm more of a falcoon man myself :blink:

and lab work is BORING and UNDERPAID.

Josh no i dont jab people, i get the collector girls to do that, i just do wierd things to your blood once it gets back to my secret evil laboratory. We would clone you, but dont think the world has enough hair product to sustain more than one of you :P haha j/k

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
