Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

What do you make of the BHP Billiton situation of capping exec pay and reducing salaries under the new CEO?

Not sure, I am not really watching the markket that closely at the moment, I sold 90% of the shares I had to buy my place. BHP is one of the few I did keep though, and intend to do so for a while, I think it will be helpful but the only thing that will really turn them right around is resources prices going back up.

As it stands you're ineligible for the first home owners grant if you buy an investment property? So many variables to think of

There is no first home owners grant unless you are buying a brand newie, but there is a stamp duty exemption which will save you around 10,000 or so. You have to live in the building for a period of one year starting within one year of buying it.

Housing is no sure bet either. Im not a fan of buying and counting on the market going up. If you have the time to buy places with development potential then you can get some high returns with little work but knowing the DA process and what you can put on a block/determining its potential value is going to be difficult unless you know what you're doing or if you're going to pay someone.

Lot of thinking to do eh Pete. Spend it on coke and hookers

This is true. My sister is a valuer. That helps! Lol

It doesn't come out too bad if you rent the place out plus growth. The sort of interest you pay though does freak me out (150% on a 25 year loan st 9%!), plus there is the commitment aspect of it, if I bought one in the next year and then lost site work I'd be in a spot of bother

So what you're saying is spend it on real estate agents lol

[massive disclaimer: I have nothing against real estate agents, I'm sure they're really nice people. The centre of my joke is based on this recent article http://m.propertyobserver.com.au/industry-news/real-estate-agent-glenn-farah-disqualified-until-2021/2012100857041 ] phew!

I would rather spend my money on real estate agents than fkn lawyers! :P

Actually scrap that, Real Estate agents are pretty awful, for some one that requires very little in the way of education they tend to think they are the pinnacle of society and intellect.

    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
