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.

And likely highest wages to go with it can't have one without the other

People are lazy man and you would know plenty of the I'm too good for that job crowd as I do, which has opened the door for Indian and Chinese migrants to come in and take the jobs and flows on to the houses

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?

Actually the Chinese have overtaken the Americans.

Also it's the second generation buying the property, then breaking it up and selling the lot to internationals.

The wages are not proportionally high. If I could be bothered I'd go searching for that graph that shows the median wage : house price and how much closer it was in our parents heyday, but I'm part of that generation so I won't.

Edit: found an article (unfortunately news.com.au, but the facts remain)

The ratio has nearly tripled in terms of housing affordability

The point remains, whatever you want to say about a generation of people, housing in Australia is getting ridiculous. It's a problem you should be concerned about, because it means more tax on you to fund the welfare of people who can't afford their own housing, whether they have shitty work ethic or not.

either way it's a beat up to blame it all on foreigners and ignore every other factor influencing the market and I'm sure nobody will worry if the apartment market falls off a cliff and the foreign investors lose a bunch of money

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.

Conflict of Interest - Where do you think his Pay check comes from? Either way, directly or indirectly, Alex is riding the housing boom for all its worth. :P

No different to me proclaiming the benefits of coal to Australia.

No one is saying it's solely the Chinese causing the issues...

Yes however those graphs ignore the significant changes of interest rates dual income households been the norm and so on. I can't be bothered on a Sunday going into it further

Believe everything the media tells you if you wish but I can tell you it won't get you any closer to owning a property whining about it

interest rates don't come close to bridging that gap and duel incomes don't mean a thing seeing as both before and after figures are based off a single average wage

for someone who works in a bank ham you seem to have little idea about this stuff.

If you think buying today vs buying 20+ years ago is comparable it's ridiculous. Average wage is one measure with a favorable "houses cost to much" argument. population increase alone tells a large part of the story to prices

I find it so Strange that they are so crazy unaffordable yet literally thousands of properties are transacting sooo how come they can afford it? Can't all be high income earners.. Reminds me of the bubble thread wonder how those circle jerkers feel about the couple hundred grand they lost by not buying lol

Are you serious...I just told you that a moment ago

Yeah but how can you use a sample size from one suburb/west 'burbs to represent the buying population of Australia?

That doesn't fly with statistics yo'

Where my statistical brothers at?

I love that is the exact story that AU ahd in laste 80's early 90's when we were going to be bought out by a japanese.

this is a short term thing. some of the big investors in Chain see the market there is about to go to shit so they buying up to protect some money.

when market stabilizes in China they will sell and reinvest at the dirt cheap market there.

(and prob drive us to a new recession like last time but that a different story)

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
