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)

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
