Morning blokes!

So cleaning up my nanas old house on the weekend and now there are 150 or so mini bottles of booze sitting on my loungeroom floor, some of them are quite old... eg mini Jim Beam bottles measured in 1/10 pint, a crownie measued in fl oz, etc.

Does anyone know if there is a market for old bottles of booze? Do people collect them? Are there places out there who would value and buy the lot from me?

I'm getting a normal deal I would say (for1), did my research before agreeing on a rent price

Yeah I'm thinking might need to implement a rule, cos mine comes over a little bit too but not as often (even though it's my joint) fair is fair, I'll just talk to him and say look shes living here 70% + of the time may as well make it official and start contributing or just live with her instead

It kind of turns into a mad house, it's a 2 bedroom unit often with 4 kents running around, straight to bootin everyone out and living lonesome

He should be at least paying (or her) an extra 50% if it's your place.

If your both renting it and splitting rent is be saying.

We pay (for easy maths) $210 a week each, that's $30 a day. She needs to start paying for 3 days a week as a third share ie: $20 a day.

This obviously saves you and him $30 a week also.

But by only charging for 3 days your saying it's ok for her to stay (like your gf) but more than 2/3 days a week constantly the person needs to contribute.

Hope that makes sense. My mate did this once and caused minimal backlash whilst fixing the issue still.

boys,
got some 1000cc injectors, just bought a 460lph pump and probably going to grab the z32s off my cousins freshly cooked GTR.
is it worthwhile chucking some cam gears in?
im hoping that this is the big boy tune..

The issue is I'm not paying any rent because it's my place, makes it a little more confusing, obviously I'm not charging my GF anything (she still stays sometimes) but charging my mate 175 a week / half bills, when essentially that 175 is giving them both a place to live/cook/shower/her toothbrush in the cup etc.. i feel like i'm getting ripped hard.

My mrs even tries to shower at home because she feels bad, I should just ask for 200 or something.

Would hardly piss her off, I know shes on good coin why not pay at least SOMETHING to contribute where you are living.. (roommates gf i mean, not mine)?

If it pisses her off then don't come back here

That makes it easier then.

I'd be saying right it's fair she stays over but it's happening all too often and I think she needs to contribute to bills ect if it continues to make it fair. And tell him you think $50 a week is fair considering she is staying 4/5 nights a week.

My ex had a rule in her house that she had house mates in and that was partners are allowed Friday and Saturday nights and Sunday obviously. Then only one other night per week so Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, thur . Any more than one of those and you had to contribute $10.

Which I thought was fair and a good rule.

brb let me round up EVERYONE that uses Z32s

be back in 4 weeks.

Hassle is the Z32 body is physically larger and won't bolt to the stock airbox, you will also need custom piping in an area there isn't much room.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
