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.

    • 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.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
