Hi All,

I got a really good job offer in Newcastle yesterday and am seriously considering it, although i have a couple of questions that i would like to ask before I say yes.

1. I have been looking at properties at Raymond Terrace, is there any particular areas that i should stay away from?

2. I will be managing 2 locations at the airport and in central area, what is the commute like between these areas?

3. Is there any reputable workshops in the area?

4. What kind of Motorsport events are on in the local area, if any??

Thanks for replies in advance,

Ben

Hey Ben,

Theres a "newcastle thread" up in the stickied section - could try posting in there?

Events wise - there are quite a few show and shines around, nearest tracks would be sydney, although not too sure if they still have the 18th mile there.

RT? umm....I'll let the locals answer that, I've heard a mixed bag!

The commuting between the two - say 30mins not even on a good run?

Have to drive though, or bus it.

workshops, I think RX Enginerring is up that way, Iveheard good stuff bout them.

Anyhoo, Im sure some of the newie locals will reply with more detail :)

Newcastle is the goods. :kiss:

If you will be working out near teh airport then the Raymond Terrace house should be good, that being said I enjoy living in Newcastle city.

Few good tuning shops around so there is no problems there!

We have cruises every now and then when we can be bothered to organise one :)

Hey mate

Raymond terrace can have some bad area's.. if you move around the lakeside area (near the dam) that area is good. also on the other side of the dam (riverview ridge / roslyn estate area) is probly the best part of Raymond Terrace (i lived there for over 15 years)

Stay away from the housing commission area's.. you will know them when you look at the place..

PM me and i can give you my phone number if you want to ask any questions.

Turbotechnics in Cardiff is the go for tuning

We dont have any motorsport except for the MG car club which holds events every month and the hill climb at newcastle every year but its just a 1 hour and 20 minute drive from raymond terrace to the end of the freeway taking it easy.

      Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.

      Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.

      Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
