I've got a meeting with my supervisor for a research essay i'm doing.. he emailed me yesterday saying he was available 'tommorow'.. off to a good start haha

Spoiler: that's not how you spell tomorrow

Yeah, big whoop wanna fight about it?

even still if u want to rent it out

why bother if you are just going to rent it out

buy a shitter in a place like craigeburn or something and rent that out

and rent where you want to live if you insist on living in st kilda / elwood

charge more rent for inner city joints...

True. Elwood fetches a decent price rent wise.

im not convinced good rent money = good investment idea, as with good rent comes good (ie high) repayments for the land value

i would expect the good idea behind investment would be good growth

thats why i reckon its better to buy a renter in some suburb thats cheap and likely to go up

plus its easier to afford and the land is less value

just see no purpose behind buying in stkilda/elwood ?

unless you can afford it and you have tons of spare cash

In 5-10yrs time, a property in inner city will increase more in value than your average suburbian household (this can be argued, depending if you pick an unusual growing suburb)

For example; Bendigo have plans for a new hospital, so property prices will increase due to more demand for housing for nurses, doctors etc

Gladstone (in qld) is planning to setup a major oil/gas refinery and again demands will go up.

However, a steady rapid incease in property value is always certain for inner city housing. (unless australia suffers through a gfc scenario, but then every house will be affected) and I believe you will get larger growth in the inner city than your average suburbian location in a short period of time

Huge rental demand in St.Kilda and Elwood. Stats reveal 70% of residents in both suburbs. Meaning much higher rent (due to demand)

A 1 bedroom appartment can fetch as much rent as a 3 bedroom house in the suburbs.

Alex, share your wisdom on the housing industry :P

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
