I am at Millicent all day then got my flight from Mt Gambier airport at 7pm mate

I can call you when i get home or would you like to come and pick it up tomorrow

i will be going to the SAU-SA meet thingy so if your coming there then let me know mate

LOL Steve have we met?! :O

Seriously though, you may come across the odd Mr Nemer who thinks he's a gangsta cause he has the pistol he pinched from grandpa though.

Wish some of you guys new all the facts :sick:

What do you mean? that he is totally innocent? and that a totally innocent by-stander didn't get shot in the face and lost his eyesight? and that he got stuff all as compensation? and that Nemer only got $100 fine and suspended sentence? and that it took the public to almost smash the DPP's door down before he got approx 18mths (if that) then he gets released and re-offends again???

Yeah I suppose the public register is all wrong and the latest judge was just too harsh and didn't have all the facts!! :)

Funny you mention that, my financial adviser rents, but i assume he knows what hes doing, lulz.
oh he owns other houses, just not his.

Yeah tell us the whole story Damo.....he's clearly already in the market then and obviously believes in it otherwise I'd be advising you to go elsewhere bud.

Curious though, what's his reason for renting at the moment (dead money).....I'm guessing he's in between properties at the moment, yeah?

Cause I've heard about all the savings that can be had by renting ie. loan interest and bills like council rates etc but if you factor in the constant rise in rents, interest rates at their lowest in over 50years, capital gain advantages of owning a property and the fact that one day it will be impossible to get into the market (fact), then this renting busines to save a buck is a big bluff!

I'm with scandy, i am not buying a house until i get married. That way if she leaves me she only gets half which is what she is entitled too, no way i am buying now paying it off to in a few years having some girl leave me and get half of my hard work.

Also i'd rather be happy and enjoying life than worrying about a 300 grand mortgage that I HAVE to pay off, no if's or but's, unless I want the bank to take it back off me.

My advice to anyone who is currently renting.....get into the market ASAP by any means possible even if you're not in love with the property you're buying......think of it as a stepping stone.

In many parts of Europe and even in our eastern states, only the rich can afford not to rent.......we are heading down that road.

I've experienced 3 or 4 boom periods in the housing market since my first property at 20 years old and have never seen the market grow like it did between 2002 & 2005. Prior to that, it was very easy for an investor to positively gear a property, now it's next to impossible unless rents catch up to property prices, and I'm talking literally double the rent you may be paying now!

Reason for all of this, Baby Boomers are getting ready to retire and have bought up Adelaide in the last decade.....fact!

Yup baby boomers have been shown to be the most selfish generation ever!

My pet peeve is people who own more than one house, you can only live in one so why do you need more? Then I hear all this crap about how it's a great investment but all you are doing is making it harder for the little guy to get into the market.

haha, ill have to add that to my list of reasons to put off buying a house.

my biggest reason is travel, ive been planning a fairly epic trip for a couple years now, id rather do that while im still young enough to properly enjoy travelling (wink nudge) than buy a house, pay it off over the next 30 years, wait until such a time as im enough ahead to go for it, and then only go for a fraction of the time i can go for now.

a few months compared to a few years... ill take the years.

and thanks to some good friends of mine, when (or if, whatever) i get back, even if my family has finally gone to shit (which it will), ill always have a room to rent for f**k all. and i may end up inheriting my nans place in the next few years anyway.

LOL, selfish = smart IMO.

We've been hounded so long by a govt telling us that we're at zero population growth and that we should have 3 kids, 2 to replace us and 1 for the country just so we can support the next generation.

We've also been threatened to not rely on the pension to be there forever cause there will be more pensioners around than the workforce one day so who will support them.........so baby boomers are trying to be self sufficient in retirement and not rely on the X & Y's to support them in retirement........yep, real selfish :)

if anyone is looking for some advice on getting into the market, pm me for the details of the guy i use. He is extremely succesful in the real estate game and is very switched on. Setup a mate of mine, is now helping me get into it. Has at least 30 properties to his name so has his head screwed on pretty well.

Woot for day off, now to call some real estate agents about some properties.

yeah, its pretty smart thinking in that respect, but it does make it fairly difficult to enter the market.

and you know, people stop seeing the reasons when theyre getting annoyed. lol, so they see the boomers as selfish. cant blame either.

oh luke. is that new big ass harvey norman place looking for workers? lol, i need a new job.

agreed 100%.

How is setting yourself for the future being selfish? Some people work till the age of 65 then retire and rely on pension for the rest of their days, f**k that if i'm gonna be one of those people. Real estate is a gold mine if gone about the right way and i sure plan on trying to get into it.

+1.

I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting to be wealthy or comfortable with ones own financials.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
