Newcastle sux ass!! I had to live there for 8 months and it was bogan central!! It has changed a bit since then, but the bogan part is the same. It is like Summernats only every night!! If you won't do fuli sic skids for them, they will pelt your car with bottles (some not empty!!)

I think you should stay where you are happiest, and if Brisbane fulfills your needs with friends and job, why move. This whole moving to further your career gambit is why so many people are unhappy or divorced. I personally love Brisbane and I have lived in Sydney, Melbourne and Newcastle for work. Unless it is going to make you a millionaire, I would stay put.

I closed my business down on the Gold Coast after 8 Years to go work for a Company based in Sydney, it was crazy money doing stainless work on Refrigertated Mining Skids. It sent me all over N.S.W out Bush and in City but I didn't last 8 months, I had to chuck it in and come home, After a while the cash didn't mean shit and just wanted to get back to friends, family and my dog :(

ok guys i thought i better update this. i am not going anywhere. after sitting down ansd weighing up the pros and cons, it just wasnt worth the extra money to move down there. at the end of the day being with my family means to much to me to move away.

thanks for everyone opinions, i appreciate everyone of them

Ive been in the same boat..

Unless you got one of those traveling bugs where you cant stay in one place longer then 1 month then i would hang where you are now.

I mean i have changed my position 3 times in the past year, however its in the governement and they shuffle you around more then cards.. But you get to see and do new stuff and move around a little ( within a 100km radius of your place of residence)

If your keen for extra bucks//new position why not ask them to move you sideways//up?

But yeah.. if you hadnt of made a decision i was going to tell you to write up a "pros & cons" list.

I think i would miss my family and friends after a while.. sms and email does not equate to hugs and sore heads from drinkin with them in the flesh :D

    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
    • Hey mate, really appreciate the help. Have been looking pretty extensively myself and was certain they were retro fitted, but then ended up finding a 4 door with what looks like the same side skirts or at least the closest I’ve seen.

    • Isn't there a PAR engineering gearset that has closer to stock ratios? And they claim they'll do whatever ratios you want.
