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!

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

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

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
