Hi all,

Have spent a few years in brisbane now and love the place. However there have been a few i know who could not wait to leave..

My question is "Do you think the river city is getting better or worse"

Personally i think that all these bridges and walkways over the river look terrible but overall the city is getting better!!

Post your thoughts..

worse worse worse worse worse worse worse!!!

used to be a great city 10-15 years ago. then too many people started moving here from other states and trying to make it like other towns. now there's too much traffic, too much traffic calming, too many people in shopping centers etc etc.

Used to be a great town, now it's just horrible.

I moved from Wollongong to Brisbane for work end of 07, loved the place after staying here for 2 weeks! However just in this short time I can see the increase in people and traffic and the other gripes people have mentioned. I guess I can't talk though, after all I'm part of that population increase lol Still though I don't mind Brisbane, but it's a bit far from the coast line for my liking.. I guess it's what I was used to

moved 2 years ago and although its not Melbourne in terms of POSHness, Brisbane got other things going for it

I used to fly to Sydney for work every 2 weeks or so and Trust me. Brisbane does not have a traffic problem.

i lived there for 3 months recently and loved it...would move up if i had the opportunity to.

my mrs isn't real keen on it...she says the city lacks culture.

Got it right.. Brisbane City is pretty ghey.

I have lived in and around Brissy for 25 years. There are some nice places around the city that are good to go too. You just have to know where to go.

Other then that it is ok. I prefer Perth personally, much more organised.

Brisbane sucks :D

Come to the beautiful Gold Coast where you can be getting a nice tan on the beach one day and then stabbed or shot the next . . . lol

why drive that far when we can get all that stabby goodness, right here in sunnybank? Now with added minor bird/masked lapwing swoopage for your enjoyment.

But yeah, brisbane is the place to be for sure.

      Hard to find reliable dyno results that help my selection   Thinking G30- 660 twin scroll 1.06   Problem is my current setup isn't imo terrible. This is the genuine flog it at the track tune so there is a few kws in it but pulled for track safety   Non VCT RB25DE home built and has baby 256 Poncams, 60mm throttle body. 90mm exhaust and decent ARC cooler with Emtron KV8 Would like to break 400rwkws on 20psi and want a bit more through the 4,000rpm range. New setup needs to beat attached dyno

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Hey y'all, had some bad ball joints in my tie rods, so figured i'd just replace both inners and outers.  Went with the high-misalignment system from GKTech. My car's lowered so figured why not. M14 Super Adjustable Inner Tie Rod High misalignment S13 240sx/S14/S15/Skyline tie rod ends (12mm/14mm) Welp, took over a week to get the job done, but finally did. Took it on the maiden voyage today and... - The OE boots do not sit properly on the new inner tie rods - If you look at the photo in the link above, new ITRs are basically threaded all the way through the length of them, so best I could do was tighten the boot down with a screw-down hose clamp onto the ITR's threads. - There is a "whoosh"ing sound every time I turn the steering, seems like it could be coming from the air moving into/out of boots. Concerning, bc it'll likely pull in nasty shit from the outside when I turn... namely thinking of moisture. - Looking at the rack from the back of the car, under it, the left tie rod is straighter than the right. Right droops down a bit. - My alignment is way outta wack, that's expected. Taking it to get an alignment as soon as I can. - The big thing is that the steering isn't really "springing" back like it used to. Wondering if there's something tied to pressurization of the system that I managed to f**k up. This was supposed to be a 20 min job... why doesn't anything ever go right with these cars?
