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)

Would be at Sandown if wasn't the busiest time of the year

You have a GTR now?

Don't blame you for not wanting to go. I have heard the death grind of rb26 bearings too many times at Sandown. :P

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".

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
