It's taking a holiday together for the last time before your life changes for ever. Not to mention the fact that you won't be able to have one for a long time afterwards

Not a difficult concept really

Your parent logic is not welcomed around here. We still playing with skylines.

f**k off dad

I mean the generation 0-40

Though I think it's a societal shift brought on by technological change and cheaper material goods rather than isolated to one generation

Even my 59 year old mother can't wait for the next iPhone...had to get a 6S to replace her worn out 6...from 12 month ago.[/quote

Depending how much use ya iPhone gets they really do only last 12 months in my experience but I'd be in the highest use category no doubt

Watched a 4 corners thing on property in Sydney, Chinese money and corruption. Was interesting. Chinese real estate agent with average English selling 32mil and $40mil homes... Then the houses get knocked down and rebuilt. Good times. Who needs money anyway

I doubt foreigners buying 32 million dollar properties is impacting on anyone in this country

It takes a hot meal off a struggling families table.

Jks.

It was impacting the real estate agent. She was driving a new Bentley.

It was saying how in some cases corruption money was being funneled or used to help fund entire apartment buildings but because the money comes from offshore accounts there's nothing anybody can do. One of the examples was a large apartment building which sold 100% off the plan after 8 months of being for sale. Construction had barely started

when they get knocked down and turned into 100 inner city apartments all sold to chinese investors at inflated prices it does.

Construction never starts until a set point of sales the banks won't release finance.

Well it's providing rentals for many ham and a lot of buildings have a capped % that can be sold offshore

But you know facts and a good story don't always go hand in hand

I dont understand why you think the Chinese aren't affecting the house prices though Alex? Come sell some houses in the South East, particularly Box Hill and now venturing out into Burwood and surrounding suburbs. You're looking at over 1 million dollars for lots of sub-par houses.

That's just what the market needs, more rentals and less affordable housing

This will ensure a sustainable future and the financial security of many well into fheir retirement

Didn't say it's making zero impact but the media are create a half story, in sure your aware all those established properties are 100% off limits to foreigners right? So ok they look Chinese perhaps they are perhaps second generation but they are citizens as entitled to buy as you and I.

Also Did u see there are other nations buying more than the Chinese? Nobody minds the Americans?

The fact is the young generations don't want to sacrifice or compromise and not to mention the woeful work ethic so the reality is a generation of renters whether we like it or not

Bayswater and Ferntree Gully now - Bayswater is going to be the next Chinese super city

There's a preschool in Boronia, now with a huge sign out the front saying "we teach Mandarin" lol

Even if this sweeping generalisation is true, what chance are you giving them with such an inflated market?

I'm not a housing bubble person, but we reputably have some of the most expensive housing in the world...that's a huge title to have. Set to get worse given it's not just Australia's population eyeing the market.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
