Hey guys, i'm planning to move down in the near future from sydney. Mainly job hunting atm, then soon after looking at renting a small house/apartment. I'll be moving with 2-3 friends to make living costs easier (rent, food, foxtel, net etc is easier paid for between a few people). Just wanted to know what living costs are like down there?. Really looking to get out of home and start my life.

It really depends where you live for rental costs (as with any city), have a look here this is our main real estate website: www.allhomes.com.au

Not sure if you were a public transport user in Sydney but it's shit here, unless you work in one of the main centres and catch buses in peak times. Expect to use your car most of the time, so you may use more petrol, but that said, eveyrthing's a lot closer than Sydney!

Food and utlities shouldn't be any different although you'll probably use the heater a lot more :P

although you'll probably use the heater a lot more :P

lol...we turned ours on first thing this morning, and is still going

Def agree with pulic transport, it sucks and taxi costs are at least double the cost of sydney

Hope this wasn't anyone here: http://the-riotact.c...arjacking/47476

Things like this make me so mad :rant:

I have just heard that a few nights ago a guy has his 180sx stolen from the front of his house in the Woden area....just pisses me off that you can't even park your car in from of your house or take money out of an ATM...

For info it is a 91 Gunmetal gray 180sx VIC plates XAR246....

Hope they both get their cars back. Things like this seem to be happen more and more often in Canberra.

:rant: They said Benevolent Dictator Stanhope was tough on crime during his stewardship of the territory.

Really? This has been the same twelve years that's giving us the likes Mully, and all these carjackings and thefts and the imfamous silver commodore 'doing at least 180 on hindmarsh' in recent weeks, my parents place was burgled twice in that time frame too.

Perhaps some real penalties for these criminal scum bags, rather than the bleading hearts greens approach of letting them off with a good wrist slapping toroam the streets after multiple offences - to steal our shit!

Rant over.

    • A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

    • I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.   
    • First thought is to use a ram mount (to hold the ipad) + windscreen suction mount. The arms on the ram mount can be as long as you like, should be able to position the ipad pretty well with that setup.
