My girls gonna be doing her 5 year veterinary doctorate at Gatton starting this year so I'm going to have to move to Toowoomba before years end. How hard is is to find work there and whats the rent situation like?

All depends on what type of work your looking for? As for renting, I am unsure but when friends have been looking for places to rent they always seem to find a place fairly easy.

Con:

Cane toads.

Cane toads, that's a pro, very good practice for your golf swing

Avoid Noosa, it's full of hippy bohemian people... Freaks me out lol

noosa is just fine, all the hippies live at eumundi and cooroy. they come into noosaville to shop a bit, but if you're over noosa heads way, or further down the coast at coolum or peregian then you are close to the beach (quieter beaches than noosa), close to noosa as well as maroochydore/alex heads/mooloolabah, etc. it's a pretty good spot to be only 10 or 20 mins from everywhere. and because all the people who want to try and pretend they have money want to live around noosa heads, etc, then the prices are pretty decent too. not that much traffic either. brisbane traffic sucks (like all major city traffic), but the sunny coast is much better.

Yes Brisbane traffic sucks...still a lot better than Sydney though. You need to rank our priorities Luke, the sunny coast is a lovely place to live but has a much smaller car scene and is quite a way away from tracks and drags. Brisbane is not as nice but has a much bigger scene and is a lot closer to tracks. Either way the Skyline scene up here is a fair bit smaller than what you have in Sydney.

Even then, it all depends on where you live and where you work when in Brisbane. For example, my commute has about 4 traffic lights, a bit of highway driving and taeks 15 minutes. Not bad at all.

takes me 45 to 50 mins to drive 63kms from gympie to noosa for work everyday....... i'd much prefer to do that than sit in traffic in brissy for 45 mins and only go half that distance.

BUT, you have to live in Gimpy

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
