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

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
