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:

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      gauge needle removal

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      R34 Speedo not working after manual swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
