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.

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
