Have seen pic of wife, Luke's done well for himself lol.

Move to Toowoomba, it's beautiful ;)

And the biggest and may I add only point you should need is the fact that I live here, and the TSO boys always put on a mean feed and piss up (usually utilising Chris's house with attached pool)

... *although Tom (Tommis85) is the only one that swims in it, the rest of us are usually to drunk

Just move you won't regret it :)

You need a reason to come to the most laid back state in australia? Come on mang, srsly

If you want to make bulk money and can handle big hours, come on up, but i can almost guarentee that julia gillard will be sending you a xmas card funded by the tax you are giving her. The weather isnt as bad as some people make it out to be, i grew up in the centre of australia (near three ways road house on a cattle station) and that is hot lads, farkern hot. The beaches are kick ass, the pubs are kick ass, the lifestyle is kick ass, the locals are kick ass(mostly), and the monetary opportunities are kick ass. There are almost infinite holiday destinations at your doorstep as the country north of mackay changes yearly with the weather, you have the reef, awesome fishing, just yeah, stop bieng a phaggot and get up here lol. The only thing you may miss is the shopping and nightclubbing, its not as intense up here, and thats because nobody really gives a fcuk up here lol!

on a serious note though...

Brisbane employment is getting harder and harder due to all the Campbell Newmann cuts and general economic slow down.

Humidity rarely drops below 103%

GC is full of crime

The entire 2 weeks of winter gets pretty cold in Brisbane... well you'll think so after about 2 years up here.

I did the same as you are thinking back in 2006.

Do it..!

get a job offer before you move, obviously.

Southside of Brisbane generally has good transport due to some rather nice freeways, north and west side, not so much.

The racetrack isn't a good reason to move to Ipswich (its out of the city anyway), but houses there are cheaper, and due to the better new roads its not that hard to commute to the city from it.

was born in bris, but have have lived in most states in aus, ippy is the worst place iv'e called home accept for canberra. GC hinterland, maroochie coolum, happyrock is my pick, further north and you need a high tolerance to heat and bitties/ stingies

Mike.

will look into these places.

sorry ...

replace happyrock with maryborough

this was one of the places we were looking at.

Hot wheat her means that wimminz wear less clothing....

What sort of job? I work in recruitment? May be able to help. :)

am mechanic, but not sure if i want to stay in this profession.

im sick of the crap you have to put up with.

Whooaaaaa hold up!

Canberra isn't that bad haha

think of it this way.

you think you gf's hot?

date a lingerie model, then look back at your current missus.

and you will know what its like to leave canberra.

*note, i have not seen your missus, its just a comparison, meant for a laugh*

dont club, so that wont phase me.

i dont mind shopping, but alot i do online.

im more concerned about the heat and humidity.

i farking hate heat and humidity.

and its more the missus that wont leave sydney at the drop of a hat.

im pretty keen to make our way up there.

would have to organise jobs, and sell our house/pay off loan/apply for new loan for house where we want to move to.

Humidity is the killer, we normally average around 30 deg. in summer and 20 deg. in winter. Sydney and Melbourne get more and longer heat waves than we do up here. Where abouts are you thinking of moving to? Greater Brisbane or one of the northern towns?

not sure, I like the SE corner.

but I also want to stay with range of at least a drag strip.

I like keeping my antics off street.

Well I'm at the very north end of Brisbane and it's about an hour drive to the nearest drag strip, Lakeside is about 5 minutes up the road and the 2 best mountain runs are only about 15 min away. So within greater Brisbane you will be about 1 hour from the drags.

Yah stay north side...don't let anyone talk you into going south of that river ;)

Seriously though, keep out of Logan and the west or have a very serious amount of security on your line.

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
