mate, if you can:

stay away from mirrabooka, girrawheen, nangebub, in the north, stay away from forestville/field in the east, south = stay away from armadale and canningvale, but the west is good, if you got the cash; go to applecross, or como or around garden city shopping centre is nice :P it all comes down to price range (perth is like the dearest place to buy full stop)

Forget Lockridge.........cheap for a good reason as explained above. I had a house in Beldon for a few years, that place was OK, dunno about now though. Clowns all over the place these days. Good luck with the house hunting anyway.

Fkn LOL @ telling someone considering Lockeridge, that armadale is dodgy :laugh:

I have been living on the armadale line, on and off, for over 20 years, and have never had a problem. Never been bailed up on the train stations, never even had a reason to call the cops for anything.

cheers for the info, yeah its hard to decide, it seems only now i realise how little i know about suburbs.

my price range is only round 300-400k, so nothing too spectacular

its funny coz when i ask my mates etc it seems everyone has something bad to say about everywhere! :P

well, there IS that.......

But yeah, every suburb has its own issues. Best tip I can give, is that if you find a place you like the look of, go back a few times, at different times of the day and night, and on different days of the week (such as pension day, about 7pm) You will soon see any warning signs.

Price will be inversley proportional to how dodgy an area it, more dodgy = cheaper :D

not always true we have afew areas down here full of CUBs = costs a fortune but feels like living in rockingham

Dalkeith is considered to be the best "Rich" man subrub amongest the Chinese family friends I know...

But take it with a grain of salt as it is they are the same people that think a BMW 318i/Merc C180 is the same as a 7 series or S-class... :whistling:

My parents bought a block of land in a subrub called Jindalee (way up north, freeway ends before reaching there) & it looks pretty decent with all new houses & I've being driving there a couple of times at night/evening & didn't see any little shitheads runing around like I see in my current subrub.

note to self:

Territory Borders:

Dalkeith = Chinese

Beechborro = Vietnamese

Beckenham = Lebonese

ese is the word

so far no one has said anything bad about Ellenbrook which is good as thats probably what im leaning towards atm :)

I went over to the ellenbrook shopping centre opening (had some business there). I thought it was a really nice suburb, till I went back the next day to find a stolen/dumped car in the main carpark with light pole toppled over. I didn't believe the locals till I saw it for myself.

But I'm from the east, what would I know!

But as the other guys say - budget dictates location. Building is usually cheaper than buying established, but it takes time. Maybe the 'predicted' GFC will shake things up...

Yeah, I'd stay away from Lockridge or Balga/Westminster. Most suburbs have their good and bad, just need to try to pick the area of each suburb. I've heard lots of bad problems about Armadale, but lived there for 6 months and didn't have a single problem, only moved because I was working in Joondalup. Caught the train to and from work for about half of that time while I didn't have a license and didn't have a single problem. Have heard dodgy things about Bassendean too, but at least the street I live on is quiet, except for the occasional douchebag deciding they need to floor it out of the slow point outside my house.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
