Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

My goals at the moment are a fully paid off house in 10 years time...

And if it's not paid off, It's because I've bought a second one.

if u are able to achieve that Marie, I will somehow find a way to marry u and become your trophy hubby

If my requests that I made at work are met in some way, it's actually 100% possible on my own to pay off my debt, save a deposit, and pay off a house all in a 8 year window.

Please note, I'm not aiming like so many of my friends to borrow to my absolute maximum and live in the most ritsy suburb like most of the people I know, who are all up struggle street and causing endless arguments with their partners. I'm looking to do it the smart way.

Buy a house in the $350K or less bracket, with a 20% deposit.

Yes, it will take some hard yards, yes it will mean not being able to mod my cars left right and centre, but 10 years from now, I'll have a disposable income.

But then again, my goal set may drastically change. LOL, but this is the current goal I'm currently working to, and I'm already clearing my debts with a higher repayment than what it will cost me to pay off a $500 000 loan in 30 years ;)

im looking to do it differently.

similar price bracket, but near on 50% deposit, because smaller loan means less interest to the bank.

Offset account also does this while leaving you with liquid funds in case of emergency or unicor being purchasable at the right price

sounds very positive mate. Theses days if u are able to be disciplined and save / make greater repayments towards existing loans, you can extinguish home loans within half the normal time.

Your last paragraph is probably the most realistic one as things will always change with some causing goals to also be changed. Whether they are positive or adverse in nature.......only you will know

but if the money is easily spendable, i may just spend it. easier if i cant touch it as easily.

It had flecks of what seems to be black tyre rubber/compound all over it and was pretty dirty. I am convinced its last outing involved two rear shredded tyres lol

by whom ;) ?

Debt shop. Move money around to lowest possible repayment figures. 0% credit cards and don't borrow anymore for a while. It reduces debt levels and increases good repayment history. Serviceable debt isn't the enemy, it's just people never plan for things like: what if I lost my job tomorrow.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
