far out

my 33 costs me $169 a fortnight to run including insurance, rego and fuel

i can get a brand new dualis or cruze for 160 a fortnight on a lease with everything paid for, tyres, servicing, rego, insurance, fuel card etc

that nuts

According to Careerone the average wage for a fully qualified electrician in this perios is $94500 a year

EBA pays more than that, then add in all the allowances and OT :).

Summary on Flynn is my post on the previous page.

cos it just means i get a newer car and dont have to worry about suprise bills etc

rego is annoying when it comes and so is crap like buying tyres etc

to be fair the lease car costs around 330 a fortnight

but the tax benefit translates to -160 a fortnight in my paycheck

You know what mayne i only make $40k a year and very content. Good luck with the sparkie job and landing a EBA or what ever :)

I had to take my US trip on a credit card and looks like i might have to do the same again when i go in the next couple months :)

$160 a fortnight of tax saving you sure? Unless you are in a high tax bracket or do alot of kms salary sacrificing a MV may or may not be beneficial.

yeah ive checked it a few times

the pre tax cost is like 330 a fortnight and after tax is 160

im in a high tax bracket but only do about 15,000 a year

i got my 33 on a novated lease agessss ago and its a bit annoying, but the cost savings is stupid

    • I also used Knox driveshafts when I the slip yoke T56 to the 3bolted TR6060 type. I believe I was one of his first jobs as it literally changed hands when I was there, started by the old owner and finished by the new. Everyone seemed pretty great about it. So wasn't shy/seemed pretty knowledgeable when dealing with weird custom people like me.
    • Just a reminder orange park was cool back in the day   and drifting the main circuit was even cooler   f**k I miss that car  
    • We used Knox Drive shafts years ago when we were doing gravel rally, good guy but I heard it had changed hands? He's got a lot of stuff and is miles cheaper than GJ and so on. He used to have a lathe setup with a MIG torch on the tool holder so he could get the uni welds just right, quite a clever guy. I just got a driveshaft done for my sequential installation and that was through Balancing Services Australia in Preston, they did the Gibson cars in the old days. New genuine CV's, billet yoke, new centre bearing and chome moly shaft was $2k.
    • Thanks for sharing that mate, I've got a couple of spares on the shelf but all the unis are tight....will give old mate a shout. BTW are you sure it wasn't just a $400 paint job? Any detail of what they replaced (cut/reweld?)
    • Yeah I saw that about the US Q50 recently, apparently it was shown to Inifiniti dealers (probably to help with their depression about the cars they can sell). Seemed like a really obvious step to me, the platforms are very similar in many ways. Even if there aren't many people who actually put the money up it should really help with image/reputation. What hasn't been clear anywhere if that is a V38 model of if they are just going to add the trans as an option in a new model year. What they did with the Z from 370z to "Z" is just weird so I'd be surprised if they released this as a V38. Great news for me to have an option; it is far from confirmed that I can get any decent track sessions through the auto so having a manual I can swap to is great.
