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

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
