Dirtgarage To Relocate To Wa


Recommended Posts

if you looking for cafe type stuff

im living in vic park atm, in a little unit/townhouse deal, but if you are looking to buy, there is a lot of places in vic park, but its kinda semi dodge, depending which bit you live in, and its also a fairly old suburb, most of the houses for sale are renovators deals, or on a duplex block setup..

if you want a nice suburb, look at floreat, lived there for the past 11 odd years before moving, its quiet, clean, and 5 minutes from subi and scarborough, 10 from the city and northbridge and cottesloe, and 15 to hillaries, and freo, and you can usually find good sized houses on a propper block for the sort of money your talking..

East Perth is central (as the name suggests, it's east of Perth) but can be a bit pricey.

I'm just moving out of a rental apartment (2 bed, 2 bath, 2 secure car bays, 3 balconies and a spa in the ensuite) and it's for sale for $355,000 at the moment.

You can't go wrong with North Perth. Really central to Subi (eating and drinking) Northbridge (Partying and eating), Leederville (Drinking), Claremont (Toffee-nosing) etc.

With 5-700k You can get a very decent house in any of those suburbs really.

I went the apartment route myself, something about having no back/front yards to maintain that appeals to me, oh and like Jason said - the balcony!

Good luck with your move!

Can any of you good people tell me how strict the procedure is for transferring the registration of our beast.(TWO-06L) to WA rego. We currently have a friend that looks after that for us here and have had no hassles. The car is engineered to drive on N.S.W. roads....but that does not mean that it will be ok for W.A.

you really do have a big mouth, maybe you should keep it shut befor i have to keep it shut for you. no offence GTRKOK

always me.....this tread does not need your comments, we have asked for assistance from people in WA. You don't even live there, so zip it. :P

If your car is registered in NSW then you should have to many problems transfering over here.They actually call it vehicle license over here not rego which is still something i cant get used to.They have privatetly and state run pit inspection places and from the experience ive had the private joints are just gunna scratch there heads and say to hard (these guys cant make a decision).Your best bet is to get in contact with Reno (the man in charge)from the state run place at Weelshpool and just tell him you want everything done properly with permits etc for mods.The main things they dont like is to low,to noisy,dark tint,boost controllers and aftermarket ecu's and any other electronic gadgets that can control or alter the efi. Ive also heard that Midland pits isnt to bad either.

Good luck with the move over here,i made the move from sydney some 16 years ago and never really looked back.Missed my family,mates and contacts and the snow but i prefer the way of life over here especially now that im an hour out of perth.

i love people with half a clue.. have you been to perth/wa, always_me?

judging by your description, you wouldn't know what its like..

im guessing you probably struggle to remember which side of the country western australia is on too.

you really do have a big mouth, maybe you should keep it shut befor i have to keep it shut for you. no offence GTRKOK

Read the guidelines Mirkop/wrecked head/always me.

No personal attacks or threats.

Byeeee :)

btw , if you are a shining example of Sydney culture then WA isn't far enough away for my liking...

Cheers

pls dont let him spoil this thread for us......shows how much he knows.....NED KELLY was from VIC.

pls tell us some more good things about WA.....saw this place on the TV 2day (just below Margaret River) where sting-rays come up to the waters edge and you can pat them, it was the clearest blue water I have ever seen! :)

two.06l, might have been the aqua marine park you saw on the tv, they have a petting poola s you walk in, but its pretty funky..

there are a lot of really nice beaches and stuff like that in WA, where you can get that, margaret river is one for the surfers, and the wine buff in you, really nice place to cmap too if your into that thing, the camping grounds down there while a camping ground, still have a toilet, and you can usually find showers at most of the caravan parks which will let you use them for a nominal fee, lots of caravan parks andplaces with challet type stuff too..

other really good spots to hit, bussleton/dunsborough, which is 30 mins north of margaret..

esperance, which IMHO has the best beaches of anywhere in the world, crystal clear water, the town itself is pretty cool, very friendly, lots of places to stay, lots of places to camp, lots of places, to swim and fish, and most of the beaches are hard enough to drive on in a normal car for a decent distance, so your not limited ot having a 4wd only..

Lancelin is an ok town, big with the surfers, good sand unes to have fun in, and wedge island a little shack town is 30 minutes north..

over that, kalbarri, big gorges, nice beaches, big with the beach fishermen, some really nice places to go..

Shark bay/monkey mia, many years ago, monkey mia used to rock, you could camp on the beach, pat the dolphins, feed the dolphins your own fish, it was realy laid back, while still a big tourist destination, saddly now you have to buy fish, im not sure if you can pet the dolphins anymore, and its been overly commercialised, which is a real shame, as it lost its shine, and i haven't been back there since being a kid..

further north, broome, tops for the nudist in you, _really_ nice in the middle of the year, mid 30's, nice humidity, you can get a really good tan, without needing sunscreen or getting burnt like a bastard, some nice sights there as well, the croc farm, and the big bird aviry for one..

and a little further inland, theres millstream, and the national parks there in, and the whitenoom gorges..

so that lot should keep you busy for a while

Will be happy to act as a tour guide if you like. Personally, somewhere near Murdoch could be good. South st has buses that go directly to Freo or maybe if you wanted near the beach swanborne would be another area. south of freo there is coogee with some new estates and housing developments going up near there and some (ahem) quieter roads through industrial areas. its also very close to the freeway if you wanted to head north to barbagallo its probably a 40- 45 min drive or the AHG driver training center about 20 min away with the motorplex south 10 min or less away and xspeed 10 to 15 min away.

I have a 2004 street directory at home if you want me to send it over to you.

With the car I would say have a chat to x-speed or C-red. I know roy at C-red does a lot of yellow sticker compliance work and would be able to tell you what you can or cant get away with in Perth. Normally you have around 3 months to transfer rego over but i have had qld rego on my car for the last 2 years and had little hassle with rego renewals.

Sounds great sileighty, we will be bring our 10sec drag weapon (10.3) with us and hopefully by the time we get over there it will be a 9sec drag weapon. Keen to give Motorplex a go as well as barbagallo. Need to locate somewhere close (taxi ride) to all the nightlife a we tend to run amok a lot.....sometimes too much...(we were in brissy last week and really aced it up!) Hopefully the WA sau'ers are a lively bunch cause it took a lot of pleading to get the QLD'ers out for one night...and only one fronted!

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
