If your Nan has died & you really want to spend it on a car, spend it on it so that there is less chance you will be joining her in the ground & spend it on quality brakes, suspension etc....

Personally I'd buy a house with it.

Well im glad i got into this one if a little late.

Apart from tigeryas idea there have been few great ideas apart from "buy a house". I heartily endorse this plan without even looking at you in closer detail. The sooner you do this the better your midlife crisis car will be:D

Direct shares if done well can make you a nice return, they can also make you lose ("loose" for teh gramatically impaired) everything and will require much time and effort plus sleepless night worrying about teh price of corn in soviet russia vs the molasses index in southern america.

Still if i were your age id blow it on mods,hookers and blow and regret it later. Good thing you are asking for advice though.

Wait are you working now full time?

Do what i did dude. You'll thank yourself and everyone else that suggested it later ^^ I put a deposit on a house 3 months ago and with the help of my olds they got another house with it to. You might not beleive it but a we bought a block of land up in the hills for 50k. Bare block that is and 3 years later sold it for 225,000 lol you do the math. Sleep on it. Trust me took alot for me olds to drill that into my head but now the block that i currently have in the 3 months has gone up by 30k. 20k is a good amount for a deposit. Keep it for atleast a year and you would have made easy double your deposit on it after you sell it :pirate: And hell you wont have to pay shit if you have people occupy tha house as the rent will pay your repayments! hahaha not bad for a 20 y/o...although im thinkin 34 gtr now mmmmm.

how bout invest it, and spend the money u make on top of the 20k on the car, that way u have the 20k u started off with saved and u are only spending the money it made u lol

kidding prob wont be much anyways, but yeh INVEST IT!!!

Ahhh...start working mebe? lol take your chaces at tha cas if you like....perfect pairs ftw :pirate: dont pay attention to me k. Oh and dont go on tha piss while trying to make a decision on this...TRUST ME! Bad things happen...rofl!

I get what you are saying there tales but im not big on investment properties cause of the teh associates risk and tax implications. Unless you are living in your own house "sole residence" i think its better off elsewhere. Plus i dont think property will do as well as it has in the past. Doesnt seem possible.

man have another house ie investment what tax implications you only have tax implications when you soley own the house outrite but if its owned by the bank its a different concept, you can claim negative gear and stuff man ive put so my tools and machinery claiming it through from the house you dont see it striaght away but later down in the track

ivestment in property is good if you take it the rite way like seeing accounts and property management

good like buying a house with 20k and no job... every bank will tell you to get f*ked :D

Treu you can negative gear an investment property but if Sam is not making much of an income its unessacary, the govt cant give you free money :) maybe neutrally geared (renter pay same as loan repayments) would work but that would be interesting to see due to the fact that rental prices arent really in line with purchase prices unless you find a good deal, in which case 20k is only a 5% deposit on a below average 400k house. Then there is the capital gains tax that will be payable when he sells it which could be a nice chunk of change with nothing to write it off against. Not so bad if you plan to keep it a while i suppose.

Then of course you will have worries with getting a loan under your own name and i would say your folks would have to go down as gaurantour for that debt. As long as you dont decided to have a 6 month holiday in teh next 5 years and have finshed studying you should be fine.

or yer go see a financial adviser....read: disclaimer :D and no im not just pluggin my industry...

deposit on a house/property

if you have a steady job, some banks will give you a loan, and then, the advantage with a property/house is that you have equity, meaning that you *possibly* could buy a rental property with the equity, sit on it for a period, sell the rental for more than you got it, repay back the loan for the rental, plus more 4 yourself

i know its a full on thing, but this is what my folks have done, they pay back only the interest on teh original mortgage, using the rental payments to pay off the rental loan, and they want to sell the rental soon, making approx 50-100k on it, repay the rental loan, plus a lot of the original loan

this is what a lot of investment people do, they keep buying rentals, cause it gives them equity to buy another, and so on and so on, till they got lots of propertys, then after a while they slowly start selling some of to repay back loans and in the process becoming very rich

No sir, i dont like it.......

Yes you can argue that over teh past 5 years the above would have been a great strategy. In an academic sense though, there is zero diversification and while you still say volatility is relatively low, liquidity is too.

This means that if you buy up now which some have said is nearing the top of this property boom you are left with either a huge loan to service or, if you sell, a huge capital gain to deal with. Using the equity is a great plan and yes i totally agree with that strategy but to buy more property... now... i, as i said before, dont like it :mellow:

C/N: Buy a home to live in =good. Buy a home for investment = bad.

ps: if we see a year like the last for property ill eat my own hat *runs though house collecting all hats to give to salvos*

yeah, the market is a tad unstable atm as its likely to fall out really soon, but could also continue to increase

its one of those things that could turn out to be really good, or fall on its ass really bad

heck ur the financial advisor, im just a uni student doing a science degree

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
