Newcastle sux ass!! I had to live there for 8 months and it was bogan central!! It has changed a bit since then, but the bogan part is the same. It is like Summernats only every night!! If you won't do fuli sic skids for them, they will pelt your car with bottles (some not empty!!)

I think you should stay where you are happiest, and if Brisbane fulfills your needs with friends and job, why move. This whole moving to further your career gambit is why so many people are unhappy or divorced. I personally love Brisbane and I have lived in Sydney, Melbourne and Newcastle for work. Unless it is going to make you a millionaire, I would stay put.

I closed my business down on the Gold Coast after 8 Years to go work for a Company based in Sydney, it was crazy money doing stainless work on Refrigertated Mining Skids. It sent me all over N.S.W out Bush and in City but I didn't last 8 months, I had to chuck it in and come home, After a while the cash didn't mean shit and just wanted to get back to friends, family and my dog :(

ok guys i thought i better update this. i am not going anywhere. after sitting down ansd weighing up the pros and cons, it just wasnt worth the extra money to move down there. at the end of the day being with my family means to much to me to move away.

Ive been in the same boat..

Unless you got one of those traveling bugs where you cant stay in one place longer then 1 month then i would hang where you are now.

I mean i have changed my position 3 times in the past year, however its in the governement and they shuffle you around more then cards.. But you get to see and do new stuff and move around a little ( within a 100km radius of your place of residence)

If your keen for extra bucks//new position why not ask them to move you sideways//up?

But yeah.. if you hadnt of made a decision i was going to tell you to write up a "pros & cons" list.

I think i would miss my family and friends after a while.. sms and email does not equate to hugs and sore heads from drinkin with them in the flesh :D

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
