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

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
