I say get rid of the car and get a POS for the next 3 or 4 years. Then when the house is the way you want if you have enough money get another one. You spend more time in the house than in the car.

When we buy a house i will be considering getting rid of the skyline.

i know I do as well, I worked out I have enough money to make my garage and out the car on stands for another 12 months, but then I ll have no kitchen or bath room or deck / landscaping. Guess I could always borrow more money lol.

What a shit day... I wrote up my resume, cover letter and all that other stuff yesterday and decided to wait till this morning to submit it so i could re-read it. Wake up and the computer screen is dead, so i dig around and find the old screen, plug it in and turn on the computer again only now it doesnt turn on it just beeps and clicks... Awesome. I listen to where the beeping is coming from and all i can smell is burning plastic/bug so i start puling things apart and see the power supply has melted in one part. So now i have to start the resume again...

Then it started raining at about 7pm and i find out i left my car window down, would of been fine if it was just a small shower. Was more like a tornado... Can't wait till the morning to see how many trees got flattened, could hear them falling everywhere from the house. Anyway my windows were open when this was happening and i didnt find out till about 30 mins ago, had a look inside and its soaked, whole drivers door (fabric, window switches) is drenched, steering wheel, seat, floor and console.

H'mm that sux, I managed to run over a branch fallen on the road, in the downpour, managed to get stuck in the underbody and make a damn awful sound as well. Don't think anythings damaged but will need to check tomorrow.

The other thing you guys have that I dont is the two incomes which is making things a little difficult, maybe if I stop drinking mmmmm

I would probably just go insane!!!!

that is true dual incomes rock :D i worked out with the price range of the houses we are looking at basically my entire income would be gone just on the repayments :cheers: so i struggle to see how a single person can buy a house unless they have a massive salary... hmmm maybe i need to get another chickie :dry: that would be 3 incomes in one house hehe

its getting a bit ridiculous really when you cant buy a house without two incomes, theres no way i can while my mrs is still at uni.

Just a quick saddening fact, the average first home buyers house now is over $400k nationwide :cheers:

Having just gone thru the whole house buying thing i can honestly say the whole process is designed to screw you. At least in my case no one was there to help - just to make money...the mortgage dude, the solicitor and last but not least the government. 'Here's 7k to help you buy a house, oh BTW, we need 15k stamp duty to settle...' tossers.

thats what gets me wound up anyway.

remember that at the moment it's in the govt's interest in every way to keep house prices high. the act is facing a water and infrastructure shortage - even these shortfalls are partly funded by higher stamp duties, but right now the territory cannot afford to have more residents.

also the act has this idiotic scheme where the govt compensates actew for lost revenue thanks to reduced water usage arising from stage 3+ water restrictions. :(:cheers: :cheers:

It makes me laugh- all this whilst they build hundreds(thousands?)of extra houses...Maybe Veilside can offer up a real estate person's view on all of this...

Anal raped by the system yet again... I paid my rego in april and had not received my sticker yet so i went to the shopfront to see what was going on, apprantly I had 2 parking fines which i had never heard about (one from july 06 and one from january 07...) So i paid them (plus the additional admin fee of $70 for them being paid late...) and asked for my sticker, no dice, i have to drive to dickson where its being held. So i get to dickson and ask for my sticker but i need some proof of residence, apparantly my licence with photo and address was not enough proof so now i have to drive back home without a sticker, cant wait till i get pulled over. Driving home on the barton highway i get stuck behind some crazy cow who speeds in overtaking lanes and drives 20km under the rest of the time while swerving now and then, i get pissed off and overtake her in the next overtaking lane, I have to pull 120 to pass her and who should be waiting at the other end, mr police man. Im going to be pissed if it counts as double demerits, if anyone remembers the same basic thing happened last double demerits (i got done for speeding while being overtaken a couple hours into double demerits... who cares if i was being passed by a ute with a fridge secured with 1 rope over the top in his tray, the p-plater in a sports car was speeding, he must be punished)

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
