Hello everyone,

As some of you know I now work in Mile End and still live in Victor Harbor.

But a mate from victor has got a transfer with work up to town. He works at Castle Plaza. So our jobs are fairly close to each others. And we are thinking of getting a place together as it's better than driving 800 km a week.

Just wondering if anyone has any good places to recommend or suburbs. I know squat about adelaide.

I would prefer to be within walking or riding distance of where i work.

Looking at around the 200 dollar a week mark. So 100 bucks each.

Even if you know a real estate agent that would be willing to show us some places that would be good.

Looking at doing it in January.

Thanks.

Well, I reckon the east side is the best, being 15 minutes driving from the city in the morning during traffic and not having little groups of thugs walk around vandalising shit at night is kinda cool

I now work in Mile End

try Richmond, Melroses Park black forrest and Daw park

Ascot Park, Edwardstown, St. Mary is close to his work but not the best area

rostrevor, athelstone, campbelltown area, firle, etc.

if i have to go the eastern suburb

I will live around burnside, max up to firle

any further north is only average surburb, not worth the travel (20mins)

yeh i live off montacute road..(rostrevor) pretty chilled suburb man, shit neva happens here, quite alot of drags up montacute thought from the forest ave lights, if u see a grey skyline represeting its me. haha most likely dragging a commodore

same dude, yeah rostrevors cool, not too far away from the city (10-11min drive to centre no traffic & 18-20mins during morning peak hour) and the best way to make your way to either old norton summit or montacute road cruises to have a bit of fun or a relaxing drive in the car.

Thanks for the replys peeps.

We are going to go to a real estate agent after work one day next week.

I'm getting a bit excited. I know i will miss being at home for a while but will be nice having to look after myself.

Good luck mate

Perhaps look into the Plympton area - close to Mile End and Edwardstown, near the tram line etc. Close to town and Glenelg, Anzac Hwy area.

Lol, I moved out when I was 17 and have never looked back. Rented for a little while down the 'bay prior to buying a small home. Hahaha, god that brings back memories, the crazy trippn midnight triathalon we had was a classic ! :(

I live in South Plympton. Got Castle Plaza about 5 min drive away. tram a 2 min walk from my house. train about 10 - 15min walk.

My g/f has just signed the papers for a place in glandore. About 45 sec drive from my place now. she is paying $120 a week for her place.

If your looking at something with public transport to and from the city i live in the middle of everything really.

Just a few suggestions

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
