  1. Selling a set (4) of used Tein Super Street Coilovers to suit R33 GTS-T / ECR33 Skylines. I am unsure if these will fit non-turbo models, but I assume they are the same. They are the Japanese spec/version. Hard to find these now as they are a discontinued item. From memory Fulcrum suspension do service them if revalving is ever needed. I removed these from my R33 a couple of years ago, as I developed an interest in weekend club racing and put more expensive, track oriented coilovers in. They were functioning fine when removed and have been stored in individual boxes since. Aesthetically, they are in good condition with no rust, only minor roadwear like the occasional paint chip - see photos. I've been keeping them as spares because I tend to hoard my factory parts / anything I replace, but my partner has demanded a garage clean up and these take up way too much space. Can post at buyer's expense or drop off within metropolitan Melbourne. Tein Super Street are height and damper adjustable coilovers - bolt in and set your desired ride height with a pair of C spanners, then set your desired firmness via simple twist of the valve tops. These coilovers were designed to be a street-friendly compromise that could comfortably take road bumps, but still provide significant handling benefits over stock suspension and aftermarket spring/shock combos - perfect for the daily driver driven with spirit on weekends. $750 (also listed on Gumtree/eBay for $800)
  2. People doing skids and drifts on the street are not the kind to want to do it legally; illegal is half the appeal, along with convenience, danger and an audience. You can't build a track within ten mins of everyone. Unaffordable / not enough tracks/events is just the official excuse. Off the record? Why pay for something far away that you can do for free close by if getting away with it. Keeping in mind the mentality of "won't die doing this", so safety doesn't enter the equation. Oh and OP...
  3. 88E is a great short term money maker If you're prepared to buy in after the falls and get out before the news drops. I've called it every time; borderline cyclical; just haven't had the cash to throw at it and I'm not sitting out for when they finally hit a win. Latest announcement says a bidder for the conventional has been selected...will we get a deal out of it?
  4. I don't think it's that massive. Depends on suburb obviously but where I bought had a 3Bed median of $530k at the time, peaked at about 610 and has scaled back to about 590. Even at 530 people were harping on about not being able to afford to buy so I'd say unless it goes well under the rentals in suburbia are still going to be strong. People work jobs in the city and such and may not want the travel time of where they can afford to buy. Lack of rental price drop could also be rentals being owned by people who don't have any loan or shortfall to pay back and aren't desperate to tenant it...foreign buyers of a certain nationality??
  5. My fault, I was telling Leesh how predictable this share is to ramp up from the high teens into the 2's again as it inevitably does and I said I should have offloaded yesterday.
  6. This was one I didn't wanna be right about...Red Emperor down about 75-85% whilst 88E nearly halved...
  7. With 20/20 hindsight they would have been a good one to get onto simply because this well is their biggest operation/objective right now, whilst 88E as only a joint venture have their eggs in a lot of other baskets. Suppose it could have gone the other way had the drilling results been average and Red Emperor could have been smashed with a heavier drop whilst 88E stayed more robust at around 1.4-1.6. It's promising though; we've been 1.8 for a long time now. Goes to show that indisputably positive news can lift us up. People just want to hear more or less the words "we've found oil" and then they buy. Everything else is a drop on news.
  8. Here comes 88E's delayed ray of light - dropped down to 1.4 cents two days ago and now London is currently up 35% on news of multiple targets identified, equivalent to AUD 2.3 cents...would have been a great buy at that low! But you never know which way it will go... Suck it to all the twits who firesold it into the ground ?
  9. Volatile history or not, their 30% rise was still arguably a reaction to drilling results...case in point they didn't tank like 88E. Per usual we follow London's lead of optimism for some reason...they were happy enough to claw back 15-16% overnight and their par is pretty much where we finished today. Where management shits me is they probably didn't need to do a trading halt for an interim drilling update that more or less said "Looking okayish so far, still gotta finish the job though".
  10. Baffled how 88E can tank and then rise to even again meanwhile Red Emperor, whom 88E has a working interest in, rises 30% off effectively the same news delivered. Two possibilities come to mind: 88E shareholders are still touch and go shaky investors and possibly market manipulated...or... Des did you throw more money in the bin?
  11. Teaching is where it's at for $$$ these days Leesh be killin dezz in the overpaid union stakes; don't even have to block off city streets
  12. I'd like to see the correlation between installation of pod filters and the increase of sudden infant death syndrome. For real though, what the f**k kind of impact on the environment would adding a pod filter to an intercooled setup have, to justify the EPA making someone take a day off work to change it and get it passed. Australia's entire impact in the greater scheme of world emissions has been established as f**k all. Those are the kinds of laws that needed to be binned; laws created for no other reason than to enforce sanctions against modified vehicles.
  13. Conventional is likely their best shot at making money out of their acreage I think. No one seems to want to touch fracking until the oil prices skyrocket and the Arabs dry out.
  14. I don't want em to consolidate TBH...it's the only thing holding them accountable for taking advantage of every share issue they're possibly entitled to. I didn't like how they handled IW2, at all. Thinking we won't hear another peep about it and yet the last I read on it, they'd supposedly found ample evidence to turn a dollar out of it so didn't proceed with discovering it had no damn pressure lol
  15. Diversifying only works to protect money, but not to make significant amounts of it. It averages out your losses, but also your profits in the name of safety. Case in point...if you'd put every dollar you had of cash into 1.5/1.6 88E of yesterweek, by now you'd have cleared more gains than 10 years of compounding bank interest at current rates. 88E may well waste the long termers time but I've always maintained there's a truckload to be made off that perpetual dump and ramp cycle on asx releases. Quote me now: once that current well is spud and they are on the cusp of testing it, good or bad outcome, the price will ramp before the fact. Save for some unseen shit going down, the ramp is coming.
  16. So I mean you could wait a year for 2.6% on your money or buying 88E at 1.5/1.6 will produce nearly 30% in a week Three certainties in life; death, taxes and 88E recovering after a big fall
  17. I was doing the same. 5k was getting me like $30 a month, shit was free money. Then you realise capital gains and inflation and it sucks a bit... Interest ain't worth it now
  18. That's hideous...I remember the days of 8% when it was worth having interest. Rather put in a bluechip or some sort of Alaskan oil explorer.
  19. Don't know, maybe don't leave any tailored suits out in the paddocks and you should be right. As for sickness, I can only say she'll be right.
  20. R35 grown on me I'd miss a manual gearbox like hell...but no way would I be prepared to enlist my own private security for events with the previous model.
  21. Happy new year lovers! Current 33R carsales bottom = 45K Catching up to and in some places surpassing 32Rs...maybe the yanks' love affair with the 33 shape will realign the models by age vs price? How long before we surpass the 2009 R35s in Australia? Which now seem quite old, and a lot of money for a car of that age...not that they wouldn't be worth it. I wouldn't mind trading up on one at some stage if I can get some money together...
