campbelltown is a shithole, there are plenty of better places to live that are closer to the city..

if you like 17yo mothers and dole bludgers than campbelltown is your spot :(

heh, you should probably visit before making sweeping statements. The area is huge with the majority of the population being young families. A large proportion of residential development in sydney in the last 20 years has been out here.

Nothing wrong with it, property is very well priced lots of new housing around the place rather than 40 year old houses/blocks of units in the inner suburbs.

Close to oran park, though in 3 years that will have likely been closed and developed, easy drive to wakefield park.

Travel to the city is a bitch if you drive as the M5 is backed up from about 6am, trains are accessable though.

I just bought a 7 year old house on an 880m2 block for under 400k. You can't do that anywhere else in sydney.

Ive lived near ctown nearly all of my life. And have never had a problem. U will find it if you want it though.. Public transport is easily accessable and to drive anywhere is relitvly quick. It is kind of like central for access to sydney city, wollongong and the blue mountains.

alot of areas in sydney have dole bludgers n teeny bopper's popping babies out....not just campbelltown.....there are better places to live in sydney eg bondi...but not everyone was brought up with a silverspoon. good n bad in every suburb so making generalisations cause of certain areas that are bad doesnt make it ALL bad.

Altho it does share its numbers of smakies around tho, but since the gov likes to give our hard earned money away in taxes so easierly.....makes you want to go on the dole!:P

Campbelltown isnt that bad just the all the bludgers etc come from other suburbs to live

haha

Seriously it isnt that bad a place to live..surrounding areas like camden, harrington park denham court, st andrews etc is probably nicer place to live

ive been in glenfield and mac fields for more than 20 years and its the only place i feel comfortable in. i dont know anyone on the dole, i dont get mugged every day and i catch a train to the city in 35min. why would you live anywhere else? especially if you own a skyline, you need somewhere with access to roads that are actually fun to drive, unless your a poser who is an inch of the ground cruising for chicks.

I have lived on both sides of sydney and find them relatively the same :)

Depends how close you want to be to the city and if you like open space??

Campbelltown is nice, im in the good part and its relatively modern..all new housing estates are going up and its cheaper liveing out here and the M5 is pretty good most days just gets a bit backed up if there is an accident :O

Campbelltown is misunderstood, everywhere there is good and bad!!

It all depends on the lifestyle you are use too..

Let us know if and when you plan on moving will come and say hi :)

      I removed the head expecting to find broken and bent valves, but instead found number 1 at TDC and cylinder 2 at the top of its cylinder stroke as well, thought that was weird and proceeded to push cylinder 2 back down until it either bottomed out on its other piston half or the conrod either way we found the issue kind of,  now to remove the engine and see how the block looks, hopefully its just the top off a piston.

      Rob's S Chassis track cars. Now with more s15 and less 180sx

      A little more work this week.  Fitted astra power steering pump in the boot with a lowe fabrication bracket. Gave the pump a good clean, fitted Anderson plug and high pressure fitting. With the intercooler being flipped under rad support factory headlights weren't going to work. Ordered a set of origin battle lights, they arrived so got them test fitted. Will require some fiddling to fit nice but was an easy quick option for now. And today we pulled out the manual Rb gearbox and test fitted a ZF 8HP50. It will fit with some casting tabs cut off and small tap of the tunnel with a hammer. Pick up the adapter plate Wednesday so hopefully all bolted in Friday and measure for tailshaft which will be a 2 piece. Been doing a lot of ecu, pdm and tcu loom design so when comes to wiring it in a few weeks will all go smoothly.

      FYP. Sadly. Even bolt cutters wouldn't take 2 sec. But in the days of 18v angle grinders, nothing is safe.

      One piece driveshaft I would recommend a dual CV setup otherwise stick to OEM. I have heard most one piece driveshafts cause excess vibration otherwise. The transmission grind I'm quite familiar with. You can try shockproof gear oil, otherwise you need a new transmission. The shifter is extremely simple on these cars. If you want pull apart the assembly and replace the plastic bushing but I doubt that fixes anything. The tail light issue is very common, unfortunately new tail lights are long discontinued. The trunk antenna going up always is because your radio doesn't have a true power antenna control, just remote amp power signal. There is a blank switch plate that you can pop out and install a switch for this or alternatively source a head unit that has proper antenna control. Throttle body sticking you have to disambiguate by disconnecting the cable and seeing if the linkages are the problem or something else. There is a procedure to adjust them, refreshing them is also somewhat involved if that's the issue. I have dealt with many of these issues. Old cars really are fractals of problems. The more you fix the more you discover there is to fix.
