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.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
