You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

yeah, there is a cap (usually $10kpa) for extra payments on fixed interest loans. so you can only pay $200/w extra max.

Problem is if you break the fixed interest period there can be massive economic costs incurred and this is something that banks are VERY conservative about wavering no matter what the circumstance. Reason being the money was purchased up front by the bank at a specific rate when you borrowed it and the repayments are calculated based on that. By paying it out early the bank may not see the return required to cover what they paid, and it will certainly reduce the profit in any case. It is also to prevent people from constantly refinancing to a new fixed rate every time there is a drop and then leaving it when it rises.

Aka exit fees

Technically no, exit fees are fees added to a loan if the contract is broken and are associated purely with the loan exit.

Economic costs, although often charged in a lump sum at loan termination are not fees, but costs that were due to be debited to the loan over a period of time and not an addition to your standard contractual repayments.

You can also be charged economic costs if you wish to simply terminate the fixed rate and return to variable on the same product (not common)

Got an sms last night from my gym, which I've neglected of late... and been to once in the past 18 months...

"Hi Simon, we require you to please come to the club and sort your membership out as we'd like to get the amount owed cleared off the system. If you have any questions please just ask and read the terms and conditions of your membership agreement to avoid further extra costs."

I was about 2 minutes away from there on my drive home, so dropped in and asked why there was any amount owed, it's linked to my valid credit card (and expires 11/2015).

They said my card expires 11/14 so I owe nearly $300 in membership fees and disloyalty charges.

My actual response to that was "Get f**ked, that's not happening... You've made a mistake and I've been overcharged because of it", with the aim that he'd drop the disloyalty charges for each failed transaction. Instead he dropped the membership fees and kept the disloyalty charges. So I cancelled the membership, he said to hold onto my passcard incase I wanted to be re-start my membership within the next 3 months.

Some new members were signing up right next to me with the same guy, who was trying to multi task instead of concentrating on a single customer at a time. This annoyed me so I got stuck into him, loud enough that they could hear as well, asking why there was no notification when payments started failing because of their mistake instead of just letting an account rack up a large pile of fees. He had no answer, and as I was leaving he calls after me "Seeya mate, I hope you achieve your goals".

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
