apologies to traction tyres... rear suspension just hasnt got that much rear camber to give. plus needs a roll.

will hunt down some Z33 camber kits and fingers crossed they'll fit :unsure: thats what the 'muricans say they use

The statistics aren't accurate for reasons I raised in my post

It's not foreign ownership when the purchaser is a resident

You'd need statistics on ethnicity of home buyers and multiple home buyers, but can't do that for obvious reasons

How many people do you think are trusting friends or family with hundreds of thousands possibly millions of dollars to get a house to get around laws? Not many Id imagine especially since they can apply to the foreign investment review board for permission

well the whole point for the $5000 fee for international investors is to fund investigations into purchases which were cutting corners/illegal.

"The higher application fees and penalties are expected to fund an improved enforcement of the current foreign investment rules.

"We need to make sure that all foreign investors are following the rules, and that those foreign investors who break the rules are not able to profit from breaking the law," the Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, said in launching the paper."

I hear Ya man but being in the industry and having contacts all over im gonna go with the info im getting from people on the front line it's a non issue - just a popular policy for the 'battlers' / art students who took gap years and fkd around through their 20s and wanna blame someone for the fact they can't afford a house.

Heaps. That's like saying why are there boat people when they can just wait in line for immigration. The figures don't add up when I hear of so many auctions being dominated by the Chinese - and I'm expected to believe that only a billion or so dollars traded hands from foreign investors = only ~2000 or so homes Australia wide?

They don't trust their own government or banks / local investments so send over here instead. Australian property market is the new Swiss bank account.

Just cos they look chinese doesn't make them a foreigner man, plenty of 2nd, 3rd, 4th generation permanent residents just as entitled to buy as you are.

Well if im having difficulty on a FIFO professional income, I'd hate to imagine how art students would have any chance...

    • 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.
