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.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
