i work in parra

seems alright, never had a drama

some nice pubs (mainly packed ful of sweeds)

some nice places for dinner

parra cdb is good for laughing at tossers crusing in 318i bmw's with massive exhuasts

harris park is nearby if your up for a riot

worst part is probably westfield... its seems to attract tools and shit traffic

agreed...

fun place to live.. alot of things to do.. day/night

but live anywhere near the westfield traffic is a killer...

havnt had any problems parking my skyline on the main streets so far...

the suburb is getting more expensive to buy now...

Parra is awesome... I used to work there for almost 4 years... 20 mins from home :(

now im in the city... an 1 hour from home :@

but there are some nice buildings with places for rent, especially the new ones near the Albion Hotel (not bad on a sat night)...

be careful about pricing tho.. especially when yr about to buy rather than rent...

a mate of my mine was thinking of moving in there... saw an apartment.. liked it... got an independant evaluation done and the company was asking abour 30k more than what it was worth...

But it terms on transport to city it would be pretty sweet... Catch the express trains and u should be in the city within half hour

few things to look out for...

the ulehs will come out on a thu night...

parra maccas shud be bombed

the area is starting to become a big curry hang out (i can say it cuz im a curry myself ;))... but most of em are smelly international students that live in harris park... im not liking it lol (suppose they gotta live sumwhere tho)

      Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.

      So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!

      OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
