Guys - some feedback needed

http://www.skylinesa...ou-like-to-see/

SAU-Vic will be having a night/day with these guys soon.

So stick some feedback in there for them to give an idea, it'll be in feb or march once i get it organised :D

Members only?

Coz I would REALLY like to attend that!

Yeah no idea...Not many people are in a position to buy a house cash anyway so don't think it's much of an issue.

I'd say that if you won a shitload through the lottery etc, then paying cash wouldn't be an issue as you have it there and then, and probably have a shit load more to spare after paying for the house...But in Virgin boys case, if he were to save up to pay cash for a house, in the time it'd take him to save up the money the price of houses/land would probably have doubled, so a loan as soon as you can afford it is the smarter option

Yea I know what your saying. I can't justify a loan for a car or stuff like that. But a house I would take out a loan no problems.

I think douchebag will be saving whilst living at home then be ableto buy a house at the age of 60 lol

The way I see it, I sold my car to have an even bigger deposit than I already did for a house...For now I'm driving a heap of shit, which is fine with me.

In time I should be able to get an even better car than I had before...

i am in if this happens...love to learn more about detailing the car as its starting to need attention :P...

if you know what you're doing and what you're looking at, you'd take out a loan for the house you wanna live in

use your own money/savings to buy a few properties and make money off em. then with the profit you can pay most/all of your loan off

you'll get backe most/all of your savings and you'll have a brand new house with no debt

Something doesnt sound right with your maths there

missed the plus as in over 20k?

20k and over was 7.2% in June 09 when I bought the r. Car itself was 24500, paid 688 On onroads including reg as deposit in cash. Plus loan insurance in case I lose my job they will pay that off the loan to take pressure off of me to pay. Plus I can pay however much I want above the minimum and they Leave me alone so long as I don't miss a payment by too long. Let's say my loan was closer to 30 and it's now a good way below 20.

My car used to be worth that much :P only lost 3k so no biggie...

I love how people say 'buy a few properties' like it's nothing. Either your parents are rich and you're well taken care of, hence not knowing the value of a dollar, or you just have no idea what you're talking about..

You do realize that even if you did want to do what you said, no bank is going to give you a 100% loan for 1 house, so that you can use your savings for the 'few properties' you plan to buy with your savings, which you'd want to be in excess of $2-300k...

Yerh I got it but I still think your calculations are wrong you will pY more than 3G interest on an approx 25k loan even with extra repayments what's in it for the bank to lend you 25k to get 28k back...Not at home cNt look into it but I think you will pay at least 5k

Ya I been reading and holding back from commenting a few ppl seem to not know what they are talking about

you were talking about paying cash for a house, if you have enough cash to pay for a house then you can easily afford a few properties using the same money

im no expert, but i know of people who have done exactly that. a family friend being 1 of em, but instead of a few different properties he just bought 1 massive piece for 300K (got lucky) in South Morang, built 12 units in it and easily made $1 mill just in profit. like i said if you know what you're doing and what to look for and where to look for then it can be done, easier for some than others

lol @ taking out loans to buy cars

in other news, does anyone elses car start to overheat after having the aircon on for a while on a really hot day?

Meh, I took out loans for both the Skyline and Cube, there's no problems if you have the ability to pay it off fairly quickly.

And no, your car should not overheat with the air-con on. If it does there's something wrong with your cooling system.

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
