Hey guys and gals,

there is a very very high possiblity i will be moving to Sydney for work in the very near future. Just wanting to get some info from you locals and find out where everyone lives and if its not to personal, roughly what sort of rent id be looking at for that area. Will be working in the city and dont mind commuting but at the same time dont want to be on a bus/train for an hour there and back.

Only really need a 1 maybe 2 bedroom as its just me and my girlfriend. Would like a decent area but am not overlly fussy.

Im sorry this may be a really broad question but i cant really be anymore specific. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Steve

well I live on the lower north shore and like it there. about 25mins to the city by public transport or 20 by car. rent for a nice 2 bedroom place would be around 350 upwards. If something a little more trendy and closer to the city is more your thing you should look at the inner west:

stanmore

enmore

newtown

leichardt

etc

are all good. I've just bought an appartment in stanmore that will be up for rent soon. looking for around 380 for it. 2 bedroom plus lock up garage etc.

best you start looking at real estate sites to get a feel for things.

I only moved to oz 18 months ago, and about 12 months ago bought a place down in sutherland shire, just outside of sutherland, 3 bed, double garage, 650 Sqm corner block, pool, nice cathedral type cedar celings, paid 580k, then spent another $30k on rennovations ... worth in excess of 650 now aparently ....

sister in law is also looking to purchase a flat closer to the city, ashfield type area, shes looking about $300k for a nice 1 - 2 bed apartment with parking space ... seem to be a lot of them around for that sort of $

hope this helps a little

places in Manly/Harboard/Dee Why on the northern beaches are going for 350 upwards for a nice 2 bedroom apartment.

The Northern Beaches are a fantastic place to live. fairly laid back lifestyle, beaches close by and a generally safe area.

Bus to the city would be around 45 mins I would think or if you live in Manly you can get the ferry across to the city. wouldn't be a bad way to get to work each day :)

Teh inner west rules!

I've lived eastern subs, western subs, lower north shore & now the inner west since I moved to Sydney at the end of '96. I'd say that the west subs have the lowest living expenses, the lower north shore was the most green (established parks & trees everywhere), the eastern subs are close to beach without being far from the city & the inner west is the most fun & conveniently close to the city.

300 - 400 for a newish 2 bedder & security car space. I share a 3br, 1y.o. apt in Leichhardt that costs 440 between the three of us but I want to move further in (Newtown, Camperdown)

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.

      You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
