I agree with M_M where are you thinking of living? or What area is your work in? Help narrow it down abit...the rental market is very tight in Sydney, my advice is be really friendly to the agent who shows you they will get some many applications you at least wanna get friendly with them so they remember your name. See as many properties as possible and also apply for as many as you can. When applying make sure you providing as much information as possible, especially in regards to your current work status and also previous rental status. Really the aim is to prove to the agent who can prove to the landlord that you can pay the rent on time and that you will look after the property.

Good luck!

I am looking at coming up on the 1-2 nd wj of sept.

The work place is at Artamon, they have a carpark so I prefer driving to work.

I am looking at 350-400 per week max for a apartment.

Been looking at St leonards, - too expensive

north sydney - too old

homebush bay - ideal price - not too far

meadowbank or north ryde

Hornsby or waitara - thinking abt that - not too pricy

parramatta - maybe too far!

Guess theres no point ringing the agents yet as they rented out very quickly.

I will have 2 months of temp accomodation - properly serviced apartments provided by the company to look for place.

Also dont sure when I can ship my car up here....

Hopefully I can get my car up here ASAP.

hey joey, like i said before, north ryde is the place to be, and is so local to everything. But it seems that its all in that price range anywere. Obviously the closer you are to Sydney CBD the more expensive. Takes me around 20 minutes to get to the city if i leave my place at 7:30am from north Ryde.

but north ryde is near nothing ? its in the middle of no where ? its like no shopping centres, no life ?

parramatta is close to MOST sydney suburbs & city and theres like a westfields and near alot of highways and main places plus theres a train station that is VERY easy to get to LOL

im just speaking the truth, dont get all defensive on me

im giving the guy OPTIONS sheesh kebabs

ps. 20mins drive from north ryde to city is not close, close would be living right in the city

it takes me 35-40mins to drive to the city and i live in fairfield er?

R u Fxxking serious? 20 mins to travel one suburb?

****.... So Homebush bay may be too far then....

I m working at Artamon, st leonards and chatswood would be ideal but by the time if i find one with the carpark will cost me $450 a week!

What about Hornsby or waitara, is there traffic going to artamon?

If i was at my old job i could easily find you something, just unfortunately i dont deal with those areas. My best bet when you arrive see as many properties as possible.

There will be traffic from Hornsby to Artarmon in the mornings and on the way home BUT it all depends on what times you'll be travelling...

Will probably take atleast 45 - an hour each way in morning and arvo peak hour times...

So can anyone help me?

Does anyone know any real estate ppl?

www.rent-a-home.com.au

www.domain.com.au

look through asian newspapers, they usually put some renting real estate in there for dead cheap

or find a little granny flat to live at :) or like if you go city (sydney) you can find sticky-taped to the poles - people who are looking for room-mates

your gunna have to decide on an area first though before you look - its easier that way

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
