Sorry for the coming long post, but I received this excellent 'on topic' email from my Mum just yesterday .... unfortunately I think a lot of guys on here will experience this in the coming 2 years of recession under the Krudd government. :)

The moral of the story is that rather than give below average income earners $1k to blow on pokies, booze, turbos etc (which is exactly what happened last handout and only benefited the hoteliers of Adelaide, not the economy in whole whatsoever), the govt should ease tax on businesses, so that 1. they manage to stay in business through the tough times, and subsequently 2. many people actually keep their jobs as a result of the businesses not going under and massively effecting the economy.

what a revelation Andrew.......could not have been said any better!!

Do you know that the majority of Australia's workforce is employed by small business, not big industry?!

Smarten up people and stop misdirecting your winging & whining to your boss but rather the gov.

On the money nightcrawler.

However I feel most people are entirely blaming Krudd for these troubled times.

Has alot to do with China. Alot to do with the US.

I feel Krudd took over government in very different times. Very different to the early 90s etc.

Its a different world. I wouldnt want to be in his shoes

At the end of the day we are still a lucky country. So I try not to whinge too much.

True. good fact.

But; The government is handing out lump sums to help the small businesses.etc (so they say) People will spend more with the lump sum. I agree some people will just spend it on the pokies.

In contrast; Buying a turbo. buying a swimming pool. Getting your car fixed up. are all helping small businesses. to a certain degree.

don't know about us living in the lucky country anymore......that may have been the case a few years ago

Did anyone see the latest figures on home affordability around the world??

Only 10 years ago we were amongst the most affordable places on the planet to own a home, we have now moved up to around the top 10 of the least affordable on the planet......and I'm talking Adelaide here, not just Sydney!!

and mind you, they are referring to an average household income (which usually means X2).

Anyone have any idea what the so called average income is at the moment........judging by the average age on these boards, only a small % would be on it and even less over it...........and if you don't have a missus to contribute, you're stuffed!

Here's one of the quotes from the above link:

The Deposit Power/REIA Affordability report for the September quarter found 36.6 per cent of household income was needed to cover average home loan repayments.

That tells me that it would be close to 100% of some of your wages! :)

this whole thing has me shaking my head. everyones going on about how awesome its going to be to get $1000, but they dont realise the long term cost of this. its billions of dollars in deficit over the next couple years, surely people can see the problem in that?

Thats deff one point alot of people dont address.

Without a partner or business counterpart how are you supposed to afford buying a house.

I dont go back on my word when saying we are a lucky country.

But I must agree that its very hard to afford and pay for a house. Almost seems you have to have no life and sit at home and constantly pay off your mortgauge with a lovely interest involved.

That's an awesome letter there Andrew... read it to my olds, they agreed 100% and have added it onto their mailing lists to send out to others. It's sad that people can realise this but somehow the government doesn't, or doesn't want to

here, here!

ohh bull, the liberals just rode a wave of success, and they didn't capitalise when they had the oppurtunity to do things to help soften the blow when the eventual bust came.

And what goes up MUST come down it's simple.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
