Anyone see the front page? The first registered R35 GTR in Australia is in Adelaide, but is registered in Sydney.

What happened to Nissan doing the whole lawsuit thing to stop people importing the new GTR?

Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

What a stupid way to justify it. If housing were affordable more people could buy their own homes instead of being trapped into renting.

A guy at work has a very nice house he has owned for about 6 years now. It's 4 bedroom, ensuite, formal dining, lounge, family room, etc, etc so it's not small. His mortgage is $600 per month, and now the house is worth close to 400,000.

Most of my mates are paying 250 - 300 RENT for shitty horrible houses. Thats at least a grand a month, now you can't tell me thats not f**ked.

And like nightcrawler said my biggest issue is peoples f**king greed when it comes to owning more than one house, you can only live in one.

karl, we are still living in one of the most affordable cities in the world mate, you are clearly aiming too high for your 1st property, like I said, start with a unit or townhouse and get some equity into it before you worry about 4 bedroom houses, lol.

As far as greed is concerned, I stand by my point that the agents are to blame, not just the investors. We've reached zero population growth in Australia where the the pensioner will soon out number the worker, hence the motto, have 2 children to replace the parents and 1 more for Australia. The baby boomers and to a lesser extent the 'X' gens are smart enough to know that one day the work force will not be able to support the pensioner due to their increasing numbers.....check out some overseas countries where there is no aged pension for that very reason. I'm not going to hang around and expect to get by on a $275 per week pension, I'm going to plan for my future and not rely on Gov handouts which may not even exist by then. That's not greed mate, that's just smart.

Stop your whining and go and get yourself a small unit now because in another 10 years you'll be struggling to afford a semi detached ex trust home in towns like Whyalla or Port Augusta, let alone 10km from the Adelaide CBD.

EDIT:

Ohh, and 1 more thing, if you think that your Super will see you past retirement, you're dreaming. Unless your a politician with a $2 million package waiting for you, you've got no chance. In 10 years the average price of a house will be close to $1 million, by the time you retire that figure will at least quadrupple.......you'll be lucky to buy a new car with your Super money.......so get smart and start planning now.

do you see many houses sitting empty? the price reflects the demand to build more.

more you pay the more incentive there is for more n more builders to pump em out.

1 way is to look at it prices are now too high or another way to look at is people were getting a bargin back in the day.

dont like the price move into the trailer park or sleep in your car :cool: enough people do that and you'll see the price drop. or like most people stay living at home longer or do the share accomadation which yes sucks but thats how it go's. im at home saving up for my 1st investment, call me greedy all ya like but ive sacrificed alot to be in this position while most of my family just throw their cash around like its monopoly money and call me stingey

i for one am living at home for a while , im 18 right now but i would rather work and save up money , get my GTR and have money to afford renting with my mate as by the time we have both saved enough to move out we will be able to live off our savings if we lost our job's so we wouldnt be completely screwed ,

thats my 2 cent's

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
