Company pays FBT, and technically we are paying for the car as its apart of our salary and not as a benefit. Ie I can choose to be paid more and not be given a car..

Yeah so technically you are still paying for it. So yeah keep a close on le FBT

My understanding is that tax is paid on default 20% private use for a salary sacrificed car.

The changes would mean I need to calc the private:business use; when salary sacrificing car I'm not using it for business but 100% private.

That's my understanding of it.

Yeah if your using it 100% private then you'll get shafted

But that is the general gist of things, not bad for an engineer

FYI 20% is just part of a formula calculation on not what the % tax paid is

Hitting up No 2 on the list today for lunch:

burger van that going to be up the street from work!

Had #5 (Rockwell and sons) the other night

GREAT burger

Still not knocking Huxtaburger off my #1 spot, but seriously great!

As a restaurant it's awesome and even though it is only a few doors down from huxta, I will be going back.

It has a complete menu, not just a burger joint and it's all good/well priced.

Yeh I don't pay it that's all I know

thats what resaurants charge... hell even wannabe fancy pubs charge main meal price for a burger. keeps the picky eaters happy

i miss the good old greasy spoon cafes back in england where 2 quid got you a full english.

hell 4 bucks cant even get you a slice of bacon round these parts!

Hey alex

how much is service costs for an audi?

mate wants to buy an a4 b8.

pretty high i got to euroclass in richmond they got a good reputation from what i've read taken it twice been really happy only $400~ for minor, through audi same minor is $700-$800..

the majors are what sting, and anything extra brakes etc

Agree with this. I don't know what people do with their money...blow it on unnecessaries, alcohol on the weekend, or overseas trips? Would love to see some monthly budgets!

When I was working a 40k a year job and my mate was on 80k, we were both living at home and both putting away 2k a month in savings...go figure!!!

I understand inflation and cost of living rising, but it's been slower than the wages surely. We now have office secretary / admin roles bringing 60k to the table and people still think that's too low. How can people feel they deserve so much for so little? Still have 50k planted in my head as a decent salary from when I was a kid lol. If people can't get by on 100k combined these days, they either have some serious addictions, or are living way outside their means / have high expectations about what it means to be a young couple.

100k combined will not provide a comfortable living if you wish to live someone remotely close to cbd, not have financial stress over bills & food, have a couple of cars still go out for dinner here and there 100k before tax is fk all these days.

obviously everyone has different opinion of 'comfortable' - Tony the tax man run numbers on take home per month after tax at 100k combined?

$41,703 after tax

So $802 per week

So $1,604 per week per couple.

So say $6,400 per month

What are mortgage repayments on principal and interest on $500k? Would be close to $3k

i must laugh at melbournes cheapest tyres.

popped downthere before. had 1 pair in my size out of 20000 tyres.

convo went like this...

"alright, they are pretty low on tread but i need em urgently, ill take em, whadya askin?"

"90 bucks fitted"

"not paying that for 2 part worns mate, not when they have about 2mm left!"

"thats each"

me...... "hahahahahaha" walked off out the door, turned pointed to the melbournes cheapest tyres sign

"ya wanna change that bastard, mate"

and that was my morning.

very clever.........

no idea tbh. im actually selling my skyline as i join sau...

but once the clubby is ready and i have all the cams gear for the car then ill look! might have a go at the hill climb at nats, other than that havent got a clue! i want something cheap and easy for my first time in the hsv. shes a big girl.

Do a DECA up in Shep; pretty good way to find the limits of a car before you track it. $85 from memory.

depends what area your talking, out here we have stuff from like low $300's so most first home buyers wouldnt spend that but anything within 15kms of the city i'd say $500k is conservative for something more than an apartment.

in terms of deposit ideally 20% to avoid mortgage insurance but most people don't have that.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
