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?

100k combined is more take home than a 100k single income, though.

That's the kicker, though - so many young couples these days think they can live close to the CBD or in the suburbs where they grew up...borrow way too much for it at low interest rates and then struggle to get by when shit hits the fan. It used to be that most young couples would be happy to move out to fringe suburbs and start a family out there. Feel like expectations are changing! Maybe just the people I hear from...

We've also got a lot more material shit to buy these days than we did 20 years ago, when it was really just a car and a house...maybe a boat.

Damn straight we do.

I'm doing the opposite.... Gonna get a place in south east for ten years, then move further easy on a bit of land as I get older... f**k city life. I grew up in one.

just got current powerbill today...

1422 for a quarter... :wacko:

in b4 NO there is not a drug growing area.

Can you explain why your bill is so high...

Do you leave running 5 x 100inch plasmas all day on with the lights on 24/7?

I started getting meat once a week from a wholesaler, and fruit and veg from a green grocer. both on a different day on my way home from work. wipes 10-20% off my grocery bill.

No home phone/line rental - dollars in the pocket.

Turn off power points and standby items, saves a fair bit of electricity.

Request water saving shower head in rental - saves the dollars.

Run heater or A/C only when more than one person is home and only at night. Keep blinds closed-ish mostly through summer.

Certainly adds up.

Just want to experiment, but just realised that the gopro case is completely sealed.... unless I get the drill out.

yes you have to drill it, doesnt bother me though dont care bout the waterproof part. and if i did i'd just buy another case

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
