Inner West Crew Whoretown (toowong/st Lucia/kenmore/indooroopilly And Sometimes Sunnybank?)


Recommended Posts

yeah thats the only issue, I kinda hate maths as a whole, but am quite addicted to statistics! Strange huh?

or perhaps i should just become a private consultant like my original plan and just continue to play with my own stock.

Play with your own IMHO.

Still need to meet the monthly repayments. Pot noodles for the whole family!

A lot of people just seem to pay the minimum monthly these days... I dread to think how much they wind up paying in total :D

$120k per with a portfolio behind a couple would probably get a decent loan. Especially if daddy goes guarantor with his 7 figure account with the same bank.

and don't forget... banks LOVE to give money out these days... They know most people will default and they'll get some fancy houses to sell off to the next lot of people they give a loan to :D

ps Josh how is the housing market right now in your sector of the world? have had an eye on a place for a while and i want to know how hard i can screw them on price!

PM me the address and I’ll tell you when they bought it, which means we can work out when they got finance to establish how hard they’ve been hit.

We’re finding only those needing to sell are actually on the market at present – Unless they are pre boom buyers who are already making a profit and looking at moving on.

To give you an idea of how hard someone tried to screw me; I was offered $950,000 for a property I had listed for “offers over $1,300,000”.

Still a buyers market for Inner Brisbane, just need to work out/find out every sellers motive/hardship etc.

Case by case, be picky. Don't get what you want then just move on. It could change at any moment though. We cannot get enough At Deco apartments in New Farm and have been moving them for good money, however the 5 – 10 year old no character filled developments have been like pulling teeth to move.

Not any more they dont! and to get somthing in Ascot you would be looking at like 600k as a bare minimum i imagine? Josh? Thats still gonne be a fair chunk of that money gone!

Cool I can find out that info, back in a sec, ours is a roughly ten year old townhouse in yeronga, plenty around so i cant imagine they are in big demand!

For the most part true. We’ve found they are asking for more deposit and proof of where it came from. EG: you can’t have magically got $25k over night and no longer do 80%, 95% and 110% loans

bought in 06 for 370k asking 465k

ps they have the same last name as me...creepy

You can get into 1970’s blocks, nothing too exciting for way less. There is a nasty little one bedroom apartment for under $300k, but it’s highly likely it’s cheap for a reason.

For something like what you live in, yes. People are also calling some parts of Hendra Ascot, which it clearly isn’t

I don't do much bank stuff... what does that mean?

Banks would loan 80% of the property value, 90% and up 110% to cover stamp duty meaning you only had to pay bank admin fee's.

send me the link. I wont stalk them. 06 depending on where it would have been the end of the boom. Again, depending on where it is market hasn't changed that much.

Without knowing facts or anything about this place, $400,000 - $425,000

yeah my sister sold her place that is like ours in Ascot about 7 years ago for 455k would hate to think what its worth now.

thats the range im thinking, If I can get it for that price then roll my personal loan into it add my 70k deposit my repayments should be less than my rent plus loan are now! Good times. Will send you the link

above average income, below average IQ, f**k this society.

ha ha sorry Josh just cant resist ;)

Ps im thinking about being a stock broker, I love stocks.

Plenty of idiots already in stocks. Surely you can't be any worse than them? It's all pretty much guessing when you get right down to it.

how the hell do you afford to live in Ascot on that sort of household income, we are close to double that and i doubt we could afford to live there!

Average for the entire area? Surely there are still more bums in Ascot or Bulimba as there are rich flamin mongrels

A lot of people just seem to pay the minimum monthly these days... I dread to think how much they wind up paying in total :D

A lot of people can only afford to pay the minimum these days. These are the retards that caused the stupid house price rises. Leveraged up to the eyeballs when interest rates are at record lows. No deposit no worries. 100% loans and away you go. Now that interest rates are going back up a lot of people are going to feel the pressure.

and don't forget... banks LOVE to give money out these days... They know most people will default and they'll get some fancy houses to sell off to the next lot of people they give a loan to ;)

Yeah but people defaulting on loans is not what the banks want. It would be a disaster for the banks if too many people started defaulting since CBA and Westpac have something like 50% of their assets tied up in mortgages lol. If housing goes down the shitter the banks go with it.

    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.
