Whats wrong with loans? if you can afford payments it saves having to wait 3-4 years to save the money plus it gives you a good credit rating.

Very good point Dave.....first thing a loans officer will look at when you apply for your 1st home loan (other than affordability) is what your credit history is like and how you coped with the payments on previous car loans etc.

ive often thought of a investment property but have seen to many horror stories tenents from hell ect and the law seems to be on there side and not the house owners . all our extra goe's into super atm till something better comes up

Alot of those horror stories come from landlords that were desperate to put a tenant into their rental at the expense of thorough reference checks......thats why I manage it all myself cause agents are a waste of money, they don't check references thoroughly, they are slack with regular inspections and unlike you or me they won't discriminate against unemployed or ex crims. Nothing against some unemployed people but the few that I've experienced would be at the pub on dole day drinking, gambling & smoking then nothing left for rent, bills or to feed their kids.....too much time on their hands!

I've been doing commercial & residential for 8 years now and have seen 2 bad payers and 1 filthy tenant that I got rid of one way or another but have learnt since then not to be too lenient or a charity case and no probz since.

I work for a bank and I'd go to a Broker. If you have an existing loan, apply for a 'top-up' or redraw if you have surplus funds. Just don't go for a Line of Credit as they rates are higher.

As for an investment property, I'd recommend it. However, just beware of insurance companies (as we all should be -sorry) as I've just collected the keys to mine and found that the tennant dropped the Iron on loungeroom floor. Insurance won't cover it as it's an "accident" (classed as tennant neglect) and they only cover "malicous' damage. Aghhhh.

yeah I've had a couple things like that happen, don't you just hate that.......only option then is to go the tenant for damage & what a hassle that can be with the Residential Tribunal.

gee MsSkyline, you've been on here for a few years with not very many posts....have you ever come out on any cruises?

I joined as I knew someone on here. I don't own a Skyline, just bought a WRX actually, so if that's still ok, maybe a cruise soon I think :) Went on a cruise with SAU people like 3yrs ago or so.

As for the tennant, tennant of course says she knows nothing about the mark. I threatened the Tribunal (agent said they'd only rule about 5%, as it's 5% of the room....) and we ended up going 50/50.

Well you're definitely overdue & you'd be very welcome even with the REX......come on Kellies Cruise on the 12th July

Sometimes just a bluff or the threat of the Tribunal works....I always put stuff in writing with my company's letterhead and usually does the trick if they think you're pretty serious.

^^^ $100 per week = $5,200 a year x 7 years = $36,400 EEK. Especially given your R32 will be worth in the vacinity of $5 in another 6 years! Ouch.

hahah nah i pay 100 wich is more than i should! so it works out to something like 22 after interest or some shit! but yes banks FTL!

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
