I'm hoping/praying that the market returns to normal by the time im looking to buy a house. Probably wont be for the next 5-10 years though, I want to work overseas first.

Dan where in the country?

It’s not the market is stuffed persay, it’s banks aren’t lending as much anymore – Nor valuing up properties as much just to write the loan deal.

Which means property prices come down.. Which they haven’t in area’s like Brisbane (think 10 – 15km radius).

Sellers aren’t prepared to take the loss and buyers have a lot to choose from/pick up deals on peoples misfortune.

Could do.

A client of ours has been buying up on the Gold Coast.

She is getting 1 and 2 bedders in Surfers +/- 1km from $215,000 - $350,000.

Just bought another one last week too. She is able to get $220pw on the $215,000

Not bad tbh

John, do you really care what some bunch of herpaderps think?

What if there are group assignments? :down:

john i use to sleep through tafe, then sit the exams, in my 3 blocks of tafe i never had a result lower then 94%.

I've been thinking about sleeping. It took two days to get through OH&S instead of it all being done yesterday. All because these people are soooooo thick. We had a test today (on OH&S). I finished it in about 20 mins, then sat for another 35mins while other people kept going... some of them didn't even get it finished. It was an open book test... ;)

55 mins to finish a 28 question open book exam... and some of them didn't even finish... that should be an instant FAIL.

I'll let andrew know if we need more apprentices, one has been given a written warning. Might be his turn to go

Well I'm keen for it. I think the 4th week is meant to be work placement. So if he's been given the ass by then, maybe Andrew might want to work something out to get me in for a week?

My problem with the market is the majority of homes are retardedly overvalued. When I say return to normal I'm hoping for a price correction >30% back down to levels prior to FHBG and stuff like that. Still might not happen for awhile and you never know what the government will do there is a lot riding on house prices atm so it might be a case of too many people too high up for it to fail. Could be starting now though if the first home buyers get screwed out of the market then it f**ks everyone else aswell. Investors selling an overpriced asset to more investors yeah definitely sounds sustainable.

Won't happen..

Maybe 10%, not 30% though

@Tristan, Dan: We won, all your sins are forgiven <3

@Josh: Pork

@Colin: Dirty Ranga Poms aren't allowed to buy houses in Australia. Although if Julia manages to cobble together a government you might have a chance...

@Geoff: Hey Geoff! :D

@John: Just stop wearing pants to TAFE. Will make the whole affair much more interesting

@Ravi: Sup RavBat! Come to Baskins!

@All: Who wants to come help remove an alfa motor on Saturday morning? Looks like I sold it :D

I'll see how I go man! I honestly have been trying most weeks, but there's ALWAYS shit on on thursday nights now

Hows you been anyway, other than pimping out alfa motors?

@Martin: Heya :D

@Dan: Are there group assignments?

It'll be interesting to see how the shit hits the fan when our housing bubble bursts...

i never had a group assignment for tafe, you rarely get homework there.

Ravi, why do you want that section removed? more noise? buy a resi and i might find some time to weld it for you

John i'll be talking with the manger tomorrow, i'll let him know.

Tafe is easy, most of the answers are in it anyway. I found it simple, although actually having intelligence helps.

You can't put brains in cabbages

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto 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.
