yer house prices have gone up in the last 3-4 years its pretty bad but the house my parents help me get was $168,000 now if i were to sell it i will get about the $410,000 mark for it so its paid for itself. rents not bad aswell its about 250 a week aswell so the rent pays for the loan but when something goes wrong like, hot water system breaks, aircon breaks etc etc i gotta pay out of my pocket so you always need extra cash stashed aside for these scenarios

with a 20k deposit now you will get some sort of 1/2 bedroom apart but rent will be cheap as and you will have to chip in extra to pay for the loan so it doesnt really work out these days now its shit

Gotta look around. We paid 360k for a house and block up in the hills. Which is in a residential area mind you. The block is big enough to accomidate two houses and will be going under development soon so ive heard. But just to let you know that in the past 3 months to value has increased by 30k i think. No bad and considering if we build another house and split the block the return would give us a huge increase over the original estimate. But yer i guess if your not working then its not a good idea unless your olds help ya ass out big time lol Id say shares would be the best bet :domokun: good luck with your decision buddy!

many peole have been saying shares and i have been thinking about getting into shares recently but have no idea where to start anyone got any good tips or sites that can help me and a few others on here out

sauwa to be millionares by 09!!!!! :glare:

ok so heres were im at soo far, iv thought about the decision carefully.

1. i am actually going to spend some money (3-4k maximum probably less) on a r34 front end conversion for my r33 to make is a r33.4,

2. rest of it is going in for investing,

3. not going to invest in a house as i wont be in the position to keep up with repayments

4. im going to tafe to start making something of my life

yep its has been done before, URAS sells r33.4 fenders, that look like r34 fenders but bolt straight up to r33's, headlight literally bolt on, bonnet needs modified latches and front bar will need mods as any front bar does any way.

i dont want my car to look like every other s2 r33 out there, i mean how many r33.4's have you seen in perth :dry:

1 is not a great idea , your not going to get any more money for you car with it its still just a 33 maybe a tiny bit

sell it and get a 34 , atleast then it holds its value as a real r34 not a kitted 33

Would be interesting to see if it actaully turns out as 3-4k not 5-6k in the end after youve done a few extra bits that always turn up.

Just quietly i dont see the point in making a frankensteins monster but thats just me.

D3vlish would look could with a r33.4, whereas Sams wouldnt

its all about the paint n rims n shit

plus d3vlish is a chicks car, so its always better

lol coming from someone who drives a chicks car :happy: lol jks :dry:

oh and sorry to Kat i didnt even know she was doing this modification :( i got the idea from a thread in the "cosmetics" section of SAU

thanks for the suggestions but its definatly what i want, i dont care about the value of the car etc as its looks like ill be keeping the car quit a while,

i probably wont be really dipping into inheritance money as i think i can get the stuff way before then, even though its seems i dont work i havnt really spent any money from when i did start so have some money saved, going to be ordering the fenders next week from uras, all painting fitting is practically free for me cos my good mate does it, down side is it can only be worked on, on the weekends,

it probably will cost more especially now because im going to be going for a cf bonnet and some sort of after market front bar which will cost more,

my biggest problem i see is going to be the bonnet latches

invest in japanese property....supposedly on the rise, and its going to be 4 or 5 times within the next 4 years or so.....thats what i heard from my boss - will post more when i go to the meeting when the guy comes down to talk to us.

^^^based on that information you cant possibly go wrong :dry:

Hey Sam, just to let you know it's not 3k hey. Depending what kit and stuff you go with, its like 6k... then you gotta paint it :(

And don't you "hi kat" me dan!

342Four... thanks for the comments champ! :(

Um, then you will be the second R33.4 cruising around....

My gf's going to kill you for stealing her idea! (she's already started her r34 front conversion!)

then she stolden my idea.... i have had this idea now for about 3years :(

ps sam! get into option shares! trading

yeh spot on, the quote i got was using second r34 parts, but i dont mind 6 is what i thought it would be any way, and having the painting done for free is also a help,

no doubt it will look way better on either kat's or mikey's car but meh im slowly building mine hehe

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
