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

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
