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

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
