700 gets you a hell of a lot there

if you looking to start up and happy to do a little work..sub 400K

500K will get you a off the plan town house:

That newport off the plan place will be like 7-8 squares at best I bet and the altoba north one is ok value but a unit & needs work & is in a dodgy spot

Wife just sold a knock down job In altona north for $701k!

Edited by alr33x

moved here around 2008...most houses 300-400K

that said find cheaper 12 min from city!

as I mentioned however I'm moving country side, so yeah 5-10 acres would be about right

Altona, Brooklyn etc

Take what you can get at grad level, then work your ass off. Pat and others will tell you the same

Life ain't a drag meet, it's a marathon

I skipped grad position and went straight to engineer position. No time for 3 years of low pay & shit work.

That backfired Monica.

22kms isn't much as the crow flies, but it's my understanding that getting there either with traffic / shitty PT options isn't heaps of fun

Feel free to correct me though, I avoid the west at all costs lol

It's alright depends what time your traveling but it's a trade off your getting double the property for your money but spending more time traveling but have better home quality of life & space etc.

Last time I checked the radio the monash, eastern, ring road etc all sounded pretty shite @ peak hour..

How realistic / repeatable is that Pat? Given the swarms of engineering grads in here who are looking for jobs

I'm gonna stand by my promotion of a good work ethic. Don't see how a pissing contest is going to actually help Jonoe

Yeah that's fair. I'm neither a family man nor a weekday driver though so I'll stay in my inner east ivory tower haha

I doubt Jonoe is turning down grad jobs cause it doesn't fit/low pay/hard work.

If he is, then harden the f**k up.

If he having trouble securing any grad job, he needs to make himself stand out amongst all the others.

And I stand by my comment of grad jobs. They are hired by HR under their budget & have no clue what makes a good engineer. All they can go off is uni marks which is only one dimension of a productive employee.

Best to go for full time job if you can talk the talk as you are hired by senior engineer & not some HR muppet.

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
