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)

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
