Well i was very forunate. And what i did was ask our accounts lady at work to pay extra tax for me. It was a good way of forced savings.

Plus i had a lot of deductions with my new job.

It's quite tempting to look for a 4 door GT-4 manual R34, they are pretty cheap now and have a full R33 GTR running gear. And i could drop something into it later.

Or i could mod my motorbike.

But a car would be better so I can start coming on cruises and stuff again.

Have you blokes cracked open a R33 GTS4 or R34 GTS4 rear Diff?

You'll find there's a horrid VLSD sitting in there. All though not noticeable with the 4 wheels clawing at the bitchumen but definitely noticable if you are making some decent power and drop a factory clutch pack or aftermarket mechanical in there.

The one up side of the vlsd is because they are a tad loose they are easier to keep in a straight line on corner exit. So more confidence through the hills as you can simply hold it flat. :D

The only other difference is the gearbox ratio's; same model gearbox etc just slightly different ratio's. So same strength yes. :)

I just calculated my tax this avo, and I will owe $204 this year. Far better than the $1560 bill I had last year ;)

I swear "your mob" never take enough tax out.

The wife keeps getting a bill too.

Will have to get them to take out extra for this year, it's way easier to deal with a few less dollars each month.

Agreed 100%. Last year I was screwed over with HECS payments not being enough, this year, they've fixed the HECS mostly, but still not taking enough tax out, grrrrrrrrr. Would help explain the big changes recently in finance department though ;)

yeah I pay extra tax each month.... the year I didnt I got stung bigtime (over a grand) as I couldnt claim much on my vehicle that year.

so, this year, under-declearing income to family benefits scheme, and overpaying tax, should get a cple grand back. straight onto the morgage baby!!! ;)

21months ahead

you f**ken beauty

although for the next year I wont put as much onto the morgage (ie 50% of gross wage) as its time to do more stuff with the little ones on the weekends. cheers to clearheadedness (ie no painkillers) =D

I dont understand. HECS has a minimum income threshold. So why would there be a situation when its not enough. Doesnt make sense to me.

It wasn't just the tax withheld that was the issue. They offered to pay my final year UNI Fee's which was great of them. However, what they failed to make mention of is that by claiming the fee's as a tax deduction for the company, it was then a reportable fringe benefit for me.

A reportable fringe benefit is then grossed up to calculate the HECS taxable income, which meant that my taxable income increased by about $8k (of which I didnt actually get in my pocket as it was paid on my HECS). SO end of the story was that due to the extra taxable income, I got a bill for $1.5k. So really I saved around $5k HECS for around $2k cost to me(as should have got a refund with deductions I had) which was good, but it was still a $1.5k bill that no1 told me would happen when they were being all nice and saying "we'll cover your HECS for this year".

just like a bucket of KFC running away from black afro-american NFL stars.

EDIT: Wait, I get it, makes perfect sense.

im glad you got it, paul. reminds me of the dave chappelle all the time. pre-disposed to chicken. haha

lol yeah, I just didnt see the connection to NFL then I realised it would be like if you have an avatar of a white guy with a KFC bucket for a head making a counter attack in NBA basketball with 5 black players chasing him to the basket and cant catch him, when more often than not, he gets caught. lol

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
