CBFd asking him for a name to obtain degrees of separation / realise it's a small world, especially when we have no other worlds to compare it to

lol

I wouldn't confirm it online anyway ;)

not sure if i said before but congrats! when do you start?

Thanks man.... It's not a huge pay increase 5% (dat "bracket creep") but it's a massive opportunity as from this role I can go straight to a business bank manager role if I want

speaking of bracket creep... I am seriously struggling to understand what circumstances this can occur in.

the only time you really get hit and have to pay serious extra tax is when you have a large pay increase in one hit, which could hardly be considered "creeping"

I'm going through a similar thing at the moment.. accepted a new job but only getting paid like 2% more... in a year though should pay off once I get the experience and review. Even if I just use them for a year job hop somewhere else.

Current place gave f**k all opportunities. I'm actually mad that I stayed here for 2 and a half years.

You've answered your own question lol

It's bracket creep, not bracket sprint

It's more used to illustrate the cumulative effect on the entire workforce as opposed to one person

yeh, i get that, but what I mean is how is it supposed to be a problem?

Isn't that essentially why the brackets are re-done every 5 years odd?

if you go from $79,999 to $80,001 you aren't realistically paying any more tax (ok maybe a few cents annually)

Fkn left wing media :P

I put these people in the same basket as those who blanket state that you get taxed more if you work a second job

the only time you really get hit and have to pay serious extra tax is when you have a large pay increase in one hit, which could hardly be considered "creeping"

this is why OT can be really annoying. sometimes you barely even notice its there due to tax.

but if you had a pretty quiet year for OT you get a lot of that tax back because you're not earning 40% extra per fortnight, every fortnight.

...but thats why some enjoy salary and salary packages more... and stupid "uplift" systems. and "bonuses".

pfft sif not cash in hand a second job anyway

Most of the time I heard this was when people were 18/19 working their first and/or second casual job and don't understand how a tax free threshold works - most whinging when they owed tax after declaring it for both their jobs.

well yeah, I can see how it can be "creep" on a fortnightly basis with OT, but annualised it all works out as you said...

The problem is when the rates aren't adjusted every few years, or inflation still offsets any adjustments that are made

But yes the left wing media is a joke, especially when my (incrementally increasing) tax dollars are paying for large chunks of it

Thus another element of tax stupidity emerges.. People thinking a large refund is a win

I'll take the time value of the cash during the year over a refund cheque any day of the week

Yeah well these people aren't the kind to have their monies sitting in a high interest account or portfolio of investments, but I agree it's a good strategy if you're not a paycheck to paycheck person.

wastelanders all so money hungry :P

well.....

I grew up on the crime side, the New York Times side
Staying alive was no jive
At second hands, moms bounced on old men
So then we moved to Shaolin land
A young youth, yo rockin' the gold tooth, 'Lo goose
Only way, I begin to gee off was drug loot
And let's start it like this son, rollin' with this one
And that one, pullin' out gats for fun
But it was just a dream for the teen, who was a fiend
Started smokin' woolies at sixteen
And running up in gates, and doing hits for high stakes
Making my way on fire escapes
No question I would speed, for cracks and weed
The combination made my eyes bleed
No question I would flow off, and try to get the dough all
Sticking up white boys in ball courts
My life got no better, same damn 'Lo sweater
Times is ruff and tuff like leather
Figured out I went the wrong route
So I got with a sick ass click and went all out
Catchin' keys from across seas
Rollin in MPV's, every week we made forty G's
Yo nigga respect mine, or anger the tech nine
Ch-chick-POW! Wu from the gate now

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
