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.

    • 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.  
    • 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?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
