What's the real-estate cycle? When do new properties typically get listed?

What's the go with the Easter rush? Why is there a massive drive to sell before Easter? What happens after Easter?

Cycle never ends - just shuts down mid dec starts again in feb for auction markets - but the properties are still there to buy.

Easter nah means nothing just a slow weekend so better to get in before rather than have your auction a week after a 4 day weekend talk about momentum killer.

After Easter people get slightly fatter I spose bout the only difference

April is a shit real estate month - Easter, Anzac day, school holidays go get yo self a bargain son.

dropped car off at opening time this morning for some work. (7:30)

how early is too early to call for a status update?

depends on kind of work ?

#rentalproblems : landlord wants to put a dishwasher in the house. real estate agent says he's happy with us being here (i smell price hike coming...). real estate agent comes round to look for suitable place to put said dishwasher. realises theres no space in the kitchen so says it might have to go in the laundry (the only free-standing place left where i put washing basket, brooms and ironing board). she doesnt measure the space, says we'll see and then walks off.

got a call this morning that a dishwasher is being dropped off on thursday. i bet ya $20 it wont fit or will obstruct the doorway.

I was actually just pointing out your blatant joke theft

I was actually ignoring it

Joke theft I dunno what you're talking about mayne I come up with all my jokes because I'm so funny mayne

something i find about workshops (unless mainly in-out services) is that they never say no to work. even if they have like a queue of cars in the workshop waiting to be worked on.

i understand how a lot sort of wait on parts, or people busy working on the longer projects... but lots of places we see have like 2-5 people working and theres like 20 jobs on the go, with more coming in than they can finish.

im not saying i would do a better job managing a shop, and i understand there are quiet periods, but fark it would annoy me having people on your back about work not being started or finished yet.

As a business owner, it'd annoy me more if I had to pay staff hourly rates while they sit around twiddling their thumbs waiting for work to come in the door.

I'd rather be sending my car to a shop that you know is busy (IF you know they're busy because they're good, and won't start cutting corners to save time), compared to a shop that can take you immediately because they've got no customers (probably for a reason)

Also, I prefer dealing with business who are registered for GST, lol

    • 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.
