Chris, to answer your question of Cairns and how to say it...

Its Kan-z

P.S DO NOT SCUBA DIVE UP THERE....We seem to be able to get Yank tourist out to the reef....but we forget to bring them back.

I will have the Rb30 in the car and all done by then so I would be willing to partisapate in a cruze to the coast from brisbane. Or maby even a coast to coast run if some of the other guys are keen.. I will just have the motor in so ill be keen as when it comes to a drive.

I am going there for orientation and one of the things they do durring orientation is Reef Scuba Dive...is this really not a good idea!??!?! Please help!

you won't get an "apartment" there.... newcastle's not a highly developed city.... You can get apartments in town... but don't!....

Rent a house in "Jesmond". This will put you within a 5-15min walking distance from the Uni. There are a lot of houses to rent there because the market is based on uni students... I havn't lived there since april but you could probably get a nice 3 bd room hous for about $150 a week....(beleive it or not)...

You could also rent with other uni students to make it cheaper.... :P

There is also a shopping centre and basically everything you'll need in Jesmond (all 5-15 mins walk) so it's the area to go for....

If you need any more info, Pm me and i'll b glad to help you out....

Maybee "Guilt toy" If you're on here could give a more accurate rental price?.... or any other newy residents?..... as i said, havn't been there since april and i'm used to sydney prices now... :P

Just thought I'd check up on this thread. Chris should be in Oz now (5th Feb he arrived I think it said). I haven't been on a cruise in a while. Are there any Newcastle / Sydney / Central Coast cruises happening some time soon? If not, I could just drive him to Sydney and I'll go on a cruise from there, cos there's always Syd cruises on. I don't really know my way around Sydney though, so I'd probably get lost :( There's always Sunday at the Newcastle foreshore too.

Just on the charity day note - last year the Ferrari club held a charity day at Sandown where people paid to be taken for a lap in a ferrari. My car was also there and people were more than happy to pay $100 for a lap in that.

Madness.

You've got to be KIDDING me! LOL, i go to the University of Newcastle over here in the UK. Believe it or not there is an area called Jesmond that is the main place for students to live!!

Christhenite, you'll find that it isn't what you know, it is who you know. A friend of a relative owns a Porsche 911 Turbo and let me take it out for a spin for 30 minutes just before Xmas. 415 bhp in a 4wd super car. It was absolutely amazing. He's also promised to take me out in a Skyline at some point because he knows some guys that have them. Anyways, i hope you get your ride :rofl:

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
