Need accomodation on the Gold Coast at new years, Help!


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Guys i have a problem, im from NSW and some plans of mine have changed for new years so i now need to head to the Gold Coast on the 31st for new years. Now with it been such late notice i realise i have no chance of getting an apartment there for a few nights so i need some advice on some cheap motels in the area. I cant find much on the internet as most off the accomodation advertised on the net is resorts/appartments which are all booked out.

I just need a cheapish motel that isnt to far away from the main part of the Gold Coast so i need some recommendations, im guessing even this may be a long shot as far as beign booked out.

Any ideas anyone?

There are plenty of motels along the GC Highway that do standby rates... Not really walking distance to Surfers, but a cheap cab ride or bus will get you there... NFI how booked out they are though... I have a house to live in :P

www.yellowpages.com.au and make some phone calls...

a place called the Sunset Court, within walking distance, not great but cozy and cheap, stayed there for schoolies, maybe yopu should give it a look at, 5 min walk from everything and 5-10min walk to the beach, right near cavill as well, bout 1 min walk but in a quieter area ;)

This link might help you find somewhere cheapish to stay. Most of the accommodation posted on there is cheapish and shows maps and stuff of where it's located.

Good source if you ask me ;)

They normally only put up a fortnight in advance, so maybe check back on the weekend and see what accommodation they have listed for new years. Some of the hotels leave rooms spare to specifically put their deals on that website.

I think you said it all in the first sentence....

Guys i have a problem, im from NSW

just kidding.

If you had have asked like two weeks ago. My friend's parents own the second top floor of acupulco. He had a room left and offered it to me cheap but I had no money so I couldn't. I just asked him before and he has filled it now.

anyone heard of the Anglers Arms motel? Its in queen street in southport or something. Its the only place i have found so far with accomodation.

Yep had many a beer at the Anglers... Just down the road from my work... Pretty close to the action I spose... Bout a 30 min walk to Cavill...

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
