My girls gonna be doing her 5 year veterinary doctorate at Gatton starting this year so I'm going to have to move to Toowoomba before years end. How hard is is to find work there and whats the rent situation like?

All depends on what type of work your looking for? As for renting, I am unsure but when friends have been looking for places to rent they always seem to find a place fairly easy.

Cane toads, that's a pro, very good practice for your golf swing

Avoid Noosa, it's full of hippy bohemian people... Freaks me out lol

noosa is just fine, all the hippies live at eumundi and cooroy. they come into noosaville to shop a bit, but if you're over noosa heads way, or further down the coast at coolum or peregian then you are close to the beach (quieter beaches than noosa), close to noosa as well as maroochydore/alex heads/mooloolabah, etc. it's a pretty good spot to be only 10 or 20 mins from everywhere. and because all the people who want to try and pretend they have money want to live around noosa heads, etc, then the prices are pretty decent too. not that much traffic either. brisbane traffic sucks (like all major city traffic), but the sunny coast is much better.

Yes Brisbane traffic sucks...still a lot better than Sydney though. You need to rank our priorities Luke, the sunny coast is a lovely place to live but has a much smaller car scene and is quite a way away from tracks and drags. Brisbane is not as nice but has a much bigger scene and is a lot closer to tracks. Either way the Skyline scene up here is a fair bit smaller than what you have in Sydney.

Even then, it all depends on where you live and where you work when in Brisbane. For example, my commute has about 4 traffic lights, a bit of highway driving and taeks 15 minutes. Not bad at all.

takes me 45 to 50 mins to drive 63kms from gympie to noosa for work everyday....... i'd much prefer to do that than sit in traffic in brissy for 45 mins and only go half that distance.

BUT, you have to live in Gimpy

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
