Hi Guys,

Well last week my relationship status changed and as a result need to find a place to live...the only issue is i don't have any of the below:

bed

TV

Washing Machine/Dryer

Fridge/Freezer

Drawers/cupboards

TV stand/cabinet

basically anything else you'd need to be able to successfully live by yourself (lamps etc)

Wondering if anyone has any of this stuff for sale/giveaway...or could point me in the right direction.

Obviously there's things like garage sales/ebay that i can sus out..but yeah..any help would be appreciated.

Trading post and your local paper's classifieds would be a good place to look. Salvos / Vinnies might also have some of the stuff you are after :)

If you are after a cheap bed in a hurry, I suggest going to a camping shop and picking up a swag and a sleeping bag. This will keep you warm and relatively comfortable, as well as a handy item to have in the car after a long, hard night on the cans :banana:

At this point I’d like to point out that the TV / TV cabinet is really a luxury and probably should be considered last

I have a Foz with towbar Nick. I don't have a box trailer etc tho'

I have time after 11.30 on an occasional Sunday when church finishes to drive around and pick up/deliver stuff.

Edit* Got a sleeping bag, as Matt suggested.

I can get hold of a rear projection for you, think it's about 60ish cm, my parents said they were going to give it to my grand parents. But i'm sure they have a working TV already, maybe you will end up with their tv instead, think they had a 40cm rear projection. I'll let you know when I talk to everyone next.

Cant help you with much. But I would suggest vinnies or salvos store. (one on parramatta rd Ashfield. Just past bunnings is masive) not only do you get cheap stuff. Its helping out the charity too.

I just went through a similar situation as you early this year and thats what i did. Furnished a 1br apartment for $500ish (Sofa bed, bed frame (i had a mattress), coffee table, kitchen table/chairs, lamps, bed side table, chest of draws, washing machine).

Just remember to have a van or trailer as they wont sell big stuff too you unless you can take it right then and there.

PS. Sorry to hear about the bust up.

I have a disassembled queen bed+mattress+2 x bedside tables. It's very girly though (was my gf's old bed).

And in light of the above posts, I'm pretty sure she got it from Fantastic too.

I think we've used the slats for something else though hold on I'll go check.

When I moved into my first place, i bought a bunch of stuff from Fantastic and Ikea, it's only been a couple of years but its all still going strong today. Fantastic often has some pretty good deals as well, i got a 3 seater + 2 recliners for $1000

Didn't you only just get married? :D or am I thinking of someone else..

Really sorry to hear anyway :rant:

Yeah as said, Fantastic Furniture is good... Oz Design has some good bargains too.

Keep an eye out for an older TV as a freebie!!.... people are always them giving away cos you can't sell them now (the ones with the big backs :P)

Does your paper have one of those "free or under $50" type sections - might find a bargain in there?

Ohh and try ebay too!!

If you want a TV and can pick up on the Nth Shore you can have my shop TV. Is only a CRT 50cm I think. I've got a standard def digital tuner for it.

If you can swing the financing check into some of the 0-interest deals going on. Wife and I did that with our dining furniture and outdoor stuff. Was good so we could pay it down in our own time - had like 40 months to do it. If you can work it into your budget then gives you a way to buy nicer stuff.

Good luck with it.

I can keep a look out, i live in a complex of about 800 apartments and generally if people are getting rid of still-decent things like tv's (the big back ones), chairs, fans etc they leave them in the carpark, got myself 2 bar stools recently that were in fine condition!

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
