All I know is I've sold 112 in the last twelve months .. Zero fks given if ya'll poor folk can't afford em. Cos plenty people can and they ain't foreigners

What is happening in the west, or your locale, is a different situation to the east. Once the most expensive properties are bought up where do you think they will turn to for suburban living? It's a matter of time.

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?

Right here, let me crack open SPSS student edition (Alex kryptonite) and get a T value on his ass

Nah man no need I get paid a truck load for doin it, a medal seems a bit over the top

& birds I talking about factors around buying not just the income to purchase price

Oh so you would like to add the increased cost of living in there to further assist birds' point?

There are no factors that can directly and heavily influence more than a Chinese buyer swooping in 70k above at auction. No population demographic shift dual income interest rate super owners grant will change that. There are REAs in areas who won't even answer customer emails if they don't have a Chinese sounding last name.

real question for Alex.

how long should I wait on a block that has been on the market b4 I low ball them?

think found the right 1 just think it priced a little high..

been sitting there for 3 months so far.

know dem feels

In any case no one in here is stating housing has at this point become unaffordable, simply that it is becoming less affordable as time goes on and will eventually become unaffordable to many. Just because this hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it never will, at the current rate it's inevitable unless things are changed.

Timing isn't overly relevant to the transaction depends if vendor is motivated or not to meet the market.

Birds / ham - good luck is all I'll say for further reference review the bubble thread for reasons why your wrong

Huh?

Block of unused land has no benefit for the vendor. He/She cannot live on it or rent it out to pay the mortgage.

Any capital gain over the past 3-4 months would be hardly anything.

I reckon timing would play big for an unused lot, as long as it has some form of mortgage the vendor wants to flip.

my 2cents

exactly right.

a farmer is sub diving a Padock into 6 lots

5 - 6 acres each.

but that said he needs to run power/water to each (that part of the advertisement) plus fencing and such.

it's interesting there 6 blocks 5 currently at 350K 1 at 280

so they obviously trying to work out what price they should be at, from other blocks seen for sale I think 5 are 220ish and the one I want 250-260K

lol.

I'm happy renting for the time being. People getting bigger loans to pay for more expensive houses. I prefer money in my pocket even though it doesn't do any favours. Only benefit is I've got something to live off if work/pay slows down (which it has)

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

lol yeah, not a big fan of all the buzzwords and hashtag names for everything these days, but I don't see why you're getting so upset that a couple wants to go on a holiday together before they have a baby that can't travel for a while, not to mention less disposable income and complete lack of free time, what with having to feed/clothe/raise a child,

Nailed it

I understand pretty much none of what is being spoken about currently, I do however have a house which I can afford on a single income, because no women want me to be their life partner.

Lol you also don't earn average wage :P

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
