We have been there 5 years....maybe a bit more. We love it out there. Its a lot better now that we have shops, petrol station etc.

Alot of people think Ellenbrook is a long way out, but its not. Its 10minutes from Wangara, and 15 minutes to morley and less to midland. There is public transport available in and out of the suburb now to :wave:

What area are you looking in?

I've only been in the area for about the last 2 months with shayde & his gf, just depends what sort of lifestyle you're after but it seems like a really good, quiet, family sort of area to move to. As Bard said it's close enough to other places you might need to go for things like Midland, Morley or Malaga but you're pretty much set for everything else you need day to day. For me on the other hand I'm young, single & I'm a bit away from mates now lol, I'm looking for a place to move out to on my own preferably closer to the city, but that's definately not because of Ellenbrook. :sick:

Ossie, in regards to being further away from your mates..... since living in Ellenbrook alot of the free loading mates dont just drop by anymore for a beer and ciggarette so there is a slight advantage LOL

Its a nice quiet lifestyle out there.

Good luck with the finance and i hope you plan to invite all SAUWA Ellenbrookians to the house warming :( (at least thats 1 party we can stagger home from :D

I was at Arbor Grove Primary today taking photos of Troy Cook, and some aboriginal activities happening at the school.

Got a friend who lives on the Coolamon side of Ellenbrook in a 3 x 2. It's on a cottage block, but I think its big enough for a small family if that is one day your plan.

In terms of trouble, there is a dodgey side to Ellenbrook (I think lower left of Ellenbrook if you look on map) and you get heaps of thugs outside of the IGA down @ Woodlands but you can just run them over quiet easily.

I'll be looking at Ellenbrook or the new Midland housing development around the Railway Workshops once I offload my GTR or if I get a big wad of cash land on my lap hehehe. The Midland housing development looks to be a really good thing too, and some of the shops around Midland are getting better. (~where JB is, and some new cafes close by i.e Cafe de Luca)

Oh and you can't forget about the tavern that will ONE DAY be built in Ellenbrook.

5 years and waiting FFS

:P

You think that's bad, the bit of hepburn that will eventually go behind our house was supposed to be opened in the early 90's. Still not built, but minor progress has been made, and they're still saying it'll happen haha.

We've been living in Ellenbrook for 2years, I think it's great. It's really close to alot of great restaurant's in the Swan Valley too.

I lived there for 3 years without any problems, nice neighbours and lakes to go walking around. I moved out a year after Paul moved into the neighbourhood.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
