Lol.

When I sold my GTR the guy came over from SA, and drove it back nek minit in a few months was back on carsales for 5k more than he bought it off me for.. not sure if he wanted to try and make money or realized it was a bit rusty.

My pay has been super inconsistent this FY so should see a healthy return. Should cover the bill Havoc is going to foot me next week for the pulsar. One of those proper GTR-style, open-chequebook, ass-raping, "just get it done" type of operations.

(Though anything is cheaper than a $900 racepace catch can)

But I though the things happening now were my fault?

For the purposes of this story, yes, of course.

Never missed a beat when I had it. I would consider another evo TBH

I've got one if you're interested.

I'd let it go for a grand less than I bought it for... 'Mates Rates' and all that.

Come at me tax return.. last year had to pay 2.5k with capital gains taxes on shares :( (comm bank, not 88e, do I claim a loss with 88e this year? :P)

Then it's intercooler time :D

I'm due for capital gains. And yes, if you made a loss on shares then claim a capital loss so that it offsets future gains. You can carry forward the loss as long as you keep reporting it each year.

Sold my shares so I could write down a loss, will buy back in EOFY.

Next year start your own charity foundation and funnel money into the local footy team?

Year after that start family trust and funnel money into that?

Stick it to the man, yo

Seems like a lot of work, all for a measly few cents x 10^8

Think I'll just find myself an old rich woman to marry.

Unrelated, does anyone know how to disguise the taste of arsenic? I'm asking for a friend.

Strychnine = fairly tasteless and odourless

I actually recall a story of someone who was being poisoned by their spouse, and because the doses were so low initially, they built up something of an immunity to the particular poison and by the end of it (think they actually survived) the dose they were receiving was enough to kill a horse.

nek minit in a few months

pfft noob

just mute volume. go do something else, come back. repeat. if its a well-designed test you can flick back through previous slides.

I know someone who outsourced their job to India, kept themselves on the payroll and basically passively/lazily worked it - IT related job so they didn't have to be onsite most of the time anyway. They got caught eventually though lol, those outgoing calls to and from Mumbai add up...

Speaking of IT kunce, are any of you/them normal?
Been working at a large data centre since Jan and the amount of f**kin weird f**ks that come in there is astounding. It'd be easier to count the normal-ish ones.

RE: capital gains and losses, clearly I've experienced plenty of the latter...Can you actually claim that as a loss at tax time? Was under the impression you had to pay on gains but just bend over and cop the loss, in typical government rape fashion.

You can claim it as a loss but it doesn't offset your income tax as it's a separate tax to it.

So what happens is, in future if you make a profit (capital gain) on something like property or other shares, the tax you would ordinarily have to pay on that profit can be negated by any losses from previous financial years.

You basically take the loss in the ass until you make a profit and then the loss becomes useful.

Let's say you lose $2k on 88E in one financial year and make 800k on selling your house in another financial year, say 5 years from now, if you kept carrying the loss forward then you won't have to pay capital gains on 2k of your 800k profit.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
