Im not really hunting for a house as such just if one i like comes up i will buy it, thinking about going out and starting my own business next year so i could use the money for that too, either way is good

I missed the one i wanted because some DICKHEAD paid over asking price for it when we were in negotiations to get it for 50k under asking price we were going to get it too as it had been on the market for about 6 months and the seller wanted it gone, I was literally gob smacked by this idiot then i realised why Australian homes are so over priced, because we have too many uneducated idiots in this country that managed to strike it rich!

So yeah after that i became a bit jaded and stuck to the share market

Hahaha... actually if you did invest on shares 1yr ago, you'll probably be one of those lucky ones that strike rich. Its now when the cash rich people gets richer. If I hadnt bought the house and car and got married, maybe I can be like 1 of them. Its ridicules how much share has recovered since.

My company share was sitting at 0.4c when I bought them but had to sell all at 0.6 because or the property and wedding. Now its 1.7. The other one I was looking at is Centro Group. I think lowest back then was around 0.07c and now its above 0.3c. Gotta start saving up for the next crisis.

:cheers:

My best investments over the last few years have been

Rinker $3.30 to $18.50

NAB $25 to $32 in one day! this was the day when the rumours of the GFC started I bought some extra at $25 then sold the whole bundle at $32 then kept the cash aside and rebought when they hit $20 and let them grow for the rest of the year to what ever they are now, i pretty much go 500 free shares out of that bit of playing around!

and Arrow which has gone from like 50c to $3 somthing

Martin: ??? Is it so hard to understand issue I have is holding boost and not not enough fuel?

Coro drive is shit today for anyone thats going inbound. But the flyover bridge outbound is sweet. That'll make a perfect fly over entry for you Colin. Dont bother with those small speed bump!

Colin: I already know of someone who did in Perth like I've mentioned. These are not track car thats subjected to constant abuse. 20k 30k and 50k is a lot of difference. And you said anyone you know end up spending more money than what the car is worth for that kinda build, what cars are they? Remember this is NUR we're talking about and stock price is 80-90k. You're saying they'll spend 100k on it? And I'm not saying you any 34gtr can do it for that price tag.

I'm not saying you can't do it for under that money but there is more to a car than just power. You could buy all second hand gear and do it for under 10k but it would be a p ig to drive and probably blow up after 2 months. There are countless examples of people spending 100k or more modding a car. Check out the projects forum and have a look at Tangomatts R34. Going back to that black 34. I guarantee you couldn't buy a Nur and then build it to the same quality as that one for under 50k.

my biggest fail however was chosing telstra which hovered around the same money for the 3 years i owned them.....over BHP which was $9 somthing at the time :S

Ugh that is epic.

Its on topic, so I guess I'd better :)

...I need to get into shares

Yeah I'll invest when I've got some decent coin to. If you invest f**k all then your return is going to be f**k all is my theory.

how can i help :):)

you get shared around far too much

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
