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

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
