Hello all,

After a crap 2007/8 recovering from a car crash I decide to go back to uni in 2009 and do another degree. My 3rd preference was a Bachelor of Exercise & Sport Science at Charles Darwin Uni and I was offered this course. The only people I know in Darwin are my aunt & uncle who would probably let me stay with them short term but ultimately I'd need my own place. I have until Friday 23rd January to respond to the offer. If I accept then I have <6 weeks to pack up, find a tenant and move!

My questions are:

Is Charles Darwin uni any good?

Has anyone on SAU done or currently doing this specific degree?

Is it easy to find accommodation near CDU?

Is there a decent import scene in Darwin?

Is it easy to get a heavy modified GTR serviced and tuned (PFC) in Darwin?

What are the police like in treating import drivers?

Are there many decent single chicks in Darwin aged 24-34?

I'd appreciate any answers to the above questions as it is a pretty big decision to make in not much time.

Thanks

youve probably already made your decision by now.

the uni is alright. not the best, though.

youd probably have to look in the paper for shared accomodation. me and my missus are looking for a house mate. if you moved in with us you have to let me take your car for a spin of course :D

hmmmm, havent brought my car into any workshops in darwin but id trust dave cheetham.

police arent as strict as down south. just dont drive around with bald tires and overly dark tint.

single chicks and single mums haha. darwin girls tend to be a little stuck up i reckon.

Thanks for your response - I was beginning to think no-one from SAU lived in Darwin.

I deferred for a year and asked to still be considered for my higher preferences. It will take me a year to get my house in a state to be able to rent it out (which I'd need to cover the mortgage).

Good to get a name for someone who can work on GTRs in Darwin though - cheers.

I'm sure we could swap cars (my 32 for your 34) at some stage although I wouldn't need to move in to do so.

Stuck up women eh... I could probably cope with that...

    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.
