lady at teller pushing me to raise my cc limit to 9k.

nigga wat da f*k, i cant think of any reason as to why 9k limit would be a good idea for a 21yrol student living at home

Banking advisor hitting her KPI's is technically a reason

thats bad mayne. i feel sorry and not sorry for the one potato who takes it, and uses it all thinking that they can just continue their spending habits and keep paying minimum payment. lmfao

Always trying to get me to up mine to 21k. kunce are dreaming

I'm still coming to grips with the whole mortgage thing, only been about 4 months but so much more stress to keep a job, toys or mods forget that! 2 incomes would be so much easier (I don't earn dat dere average wastelander 6figs) had to compromise for unit brah.

Least I got in early, that way when I get married and divorced she can take half ;)

All depends... if you are paid weekly/fortnightly and have a mortgage with a 100% offset account and pay your card in FULL monthly you actually save money by using the CC

But this is quite unlikely for a 21yo student lol

I use my CC for everything, earns points on money I would've been spending anyway

never paid a cent in interest on it so win win for me

Yup. If you are properly responsible they can actually be a money saving tool that generates rewards.

not much work around Victoria at the moment... only positions advertised at the moment seem to be in QLD, WA or NT. Port Hedland/Pilbara can go ead. and so can a 28:7 roster. (unless it was Dezz wage x2 or round abouts)

I would expect them to buy a dive like Leroy had

huh?

also, thats pretty stiff about the fine. least they were reasonable when challenging the fine. the cozzers probably know you'll get let off, but if they retracted a fine they're trying to issue it would make em look pretty stoopid.

Credit account linked to mortgage that for interest purposes is considered to be part of the mortgage balance

yeah me still no capish

i just signed up for cc cause its free for me, use it for all my personal bills/fines/interweb spendings. always pay in full every month. my idea is that this is showing the banks i can control my financials.

Is this something banks actually look at later on (when i get to actual borrowing), or am i just wasting my time with a cc.

Gives me practice to budget anyways

Ok

First thing to remember is that interest is calculated DAILY, then charged periodically (usually monthly)

Say you have a mortgage of $100k, get paid $5k a month (net) as ~$1150 per week.

Your pay goes into your offset account (normal bank account) and just sits there as you are using your credit card for everything.

While the money is in the offset account your interest is calculated on the loan balance minus the offset balance each day. So if you have $5k in there your interest is charged on $95k despite the borrowings of $100k.

The credit card is interest free for 30 days which allows you to have more days with the balance sitting in your transactional account offsetting the mortgage balance.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
