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?

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.

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.

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

like most people stay living at home longer or do the share accommodation which yes sucks but thats how it go's.

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

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
