Hi All,

I got a really good job offer in Newcastle yesterday and am seriously considering it, although i have a couple of questions that i would like to ask before I say yes.

1. I have been looking at properties at Raymond Terrace, is there any particular areas that i should stay away from?

2. I will be managing 2 locations at the airport and in central area, what is the commute like between these areas?

3. Is there any reputable workshops in the area?

4. What kind of Motorsport events are on in the local area, if any??

Thanks for replies in advance,

Ben

Hey Ben,

Theres a "newcastle thread" up in the stickied section - could try posting in there?

Events wise - there are quite a few show and shines around, nearest tracks would be sydney, although not too sure if they still have the 18th mile there.

RT? umm....I'll let the locals answer that, I've heard a mixed bag!

The commuting between the two - say 30mins not even on a good run?

Have to drive though, or bus it.

workshops, I think RX Enginerring is up that way, Iveheard good stuff bout them.

Anyhoo, Im sure some of the newie locals will reply with more detail :)

Newcastle is the goods. :kiss:

If you will be working out near teh airport then the Raymond Terrace house should be good, that being said I enjoy living in Newcastle city.

Few good tuning shops around so there is no problems there!

We have cruises every now and then when we can be bothered to organise one :)

Hey mate

Raymond terrace can have some bad area's.. if you move around the lakeside area (near the dam) that area is good. also on the other side of the dam (riverview ridge / roslyn estate area) is probly the best part of Raymond Terrace (i lived there for over 15 years)

Stay away from the housing commission area's.. you will know them when you look at the place..

PM me and i can give you my phone number if you want to ask any questions.

Turbotechnics in Cardiff is the go for tuning

We dont have any motorsport except for the MG car club which holds events every month and the hill climb at newcastle every year but its just a 1 hour and 20 minute drive from raymond terrace to the end of the freeway taking it easy.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
