My guess is you won't get the kind of clarity you imagine from under the hood!

That's what I'm also predicting, probably a lot of muffle and random creeks here and there.

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

Don't really want to buy another case as gopro accessories are random from store to store and some being hard to find.

Moreso distortion and horrible noise! Put your ear close to a running engine, it doesn't sound that great! You'd have to stick the microphone in a case of some sort IMO

$500k 5.19% 30 years approx $2,742pcm

leaves $3658 for everything else spread over 4 weeks is $914 per week not massive factoring bills my car is $100 a week in fuel alone

3.6k a month is not enough for "everything else" :huh:

It's easily do-able and whilst borrowing 500k - that's not neccesarily how much you might need. If you played it smart and moved into a smaller 1-2 BDR townhouse or something and only needed to borrow around 400k (say you came in with a 40-50k deposit, didn't own any money on your cars) - You'd be farken laughing and still able to make either higher repayments or look towards getting an investment property a bit further out within 12-18months and the wealth builds from there really.

They people that are impaling themselves are those that the Birdman described earlier, or those that moved out to the West (as you'd know)... Building these massive 4 BDR/2 Stories monstrosities and then unable to pay everything because the upkeep and bills for a place like that are farken through the roof. A mate of mine did a similar thing in Caroline Springs and is in all sorts of shit soon when we ALL told him to buy a unit in Airport West (this is 4 years ago)... If he did that he would be set and have a 2nd join already

Remember you chose to have a car that burns $100 a week, as do i. My Mrs would be lucky to burn $100 a fortnight in her car as it's an max0r tampon taxi.

I don't think I make that much money, I have a house of my own, that I furnished with nothing but brand new (and a lot of it expensive) stuff...I pay the bills on my own, buy my food on my own (and I'd eat more than your average person). Also have a sportsbike, so 2 x rego and insurance, I eat out whenever I want, spend money on supplements etc etc etc, and I don't have any kind of budget in place. My mortgage gets debited the day after I get paid and that's about it...

People must blow money on a lot of shit to be struggling

A cheap r32 = a Mohsen r32

And we seen where that led to :P

Breaks a rb20, because Mohsen.

Also wrecks most of the panels and needs to be re-repaired, because Mohsen

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.

Those cheap tyre places are the worst considering how cheap they actually buy them for

Can confirm mortgage repayments are a drainer

Dunno why you would be wasting money on this engine swap, 2jz sounds heaps better

I know a few people that have big loans but they lose there jobs and fall straight into shit

Best advise is just not to over-extend...

I work in mortgages (asset realisation) and manage a portfolio of approx $50mil in bad and doubtfull debt so I have a pretty good idea of why people go belly up,

while I cant give any specifics, what I can say is the most common cause is overcommitment via unsecured debt or unemployment.

so basically, don't use credit cards that you cant pay in FULL each month, and don't lend to your limits.

be ahead on your mortgage to give yourself a buffer and don't quit a job until you have another one

another big thing is pride, most people that lose their jobs are too good to do a "lesser job" to get by until something better comes along

Ash with the subtlety there

Moreso distortion and horrible noise! Put your ear close to a running engine, it doesn't sound that great! You'd have to stick the microphone in a case of some sort IMO

Decent sound from the engine you would want two mics. One close to the intake/filter and one on the ass end near the exhaust. Get some editing happening to level out the noise evenly, and you will end up with an interesting video

I was thinking of getting the one Leigh linked, and split the left and right mic with one in the engine bay and the other into the exhaust.

Might try at the next deca.

Suppose I was less... Argumentative in that post than normal :blink:

I believe the /subtle was in reference to the missus mention :P

Edit: whoops, was I not meant to spell it out? XD

---------

Finally replaced my headlights with some 4300k globes. Yellow as fark. Thought they'd be a lot whiter. Should have gone 6000k, urgh. What I get for playing it safe.

Liking this home buying torque. I need to look into that soon. After I buy an emo. And get a job. Or maybe before those two things if I was really responsible :P

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?

primary is the hotwater system, it's tiny so it's going alot

follow this with no gas so cooking and heating is Elect, and katie likes her heaters, she has a couple on all the time.

so yeah summer maybe 600ish winter 1400ish

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
