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

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • 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?
