Birds good idea, now might be the time for you guys to shop for a bargain. I wouldn't let saving ~8k stampers stop you from getting a mad buy.

I'm certainly not going to...but as Martin pointed out above there may be people drawing out settlements to include.

I think true bargains can come up at any time and you need to be prepared for it. Sometimes that means taking on mortgage insurance when you don't have a huge deposit together - the capital growth can easily overcome stamp duty or LMI if you've picked well.

If you can wait for the demographic to pass through over the next 5 years, Cranbourne has some great places sub 500k

stamp duty cut is pointless $15k~ is not the difference between people being able to purchase or not, it'll have the same effect as previous stimulus ie $32k FHOG just drove prices up $50k... 

sounds good will win votes but achieve little.. 

the government co purchase is a much smarter system in assisting people

spot on

the best way to a good buy is to try and find something for sale with an out of area agent or a very small agency as the homes dont get the same level of exposure, i bought my place for a steal off a guy based 40kms away it was a PITA for him to come and show the property so clearly was happy to get it off his books

I have a thing for buying close to cemetery's- I don't like it

I got my place cheaper based on them wanting a lower settlement time, love seeing similar places auction off for way more around the streets a couple of years on too.

What about people borrowing on 95%? That 15k could be a make or break unless you can put it onto the mortgage

Under the old scheme, stamp duty reduction capped at $600k. This created a bidding cap where the first home bidders stopped at $600k Any bids above this were from older folks & unfortunately there were always oldies pushing well above the $600k.

The new scheme will allow first home buyers to pre-approve a larger amount but it just means there will be a lot more people closer to the $600k limit which will mean stuff all as it will be snapped up by an oldie anyways ~_~

someone had to say it 

I feel like a Chinese uni student would still bid you out of your plot and you'd have to share or get chucked in with your already dead parents

To a point sure - my market place the $600k cap was annoying as that is a common price point well was.. all that happened is buyers would stick to that or less or try and negotiate down $620-$630k properties due to the stamps  which rarely worked in such a strong market.. but again $15k in the scheme of things is a relatively small sum that won't make buying any easier for anybody and ultimately would you pass up the perfect property for $15k.. unlikely 

Birds 95% loans are pretty rare these days and again $15k is not going to elevate someone from unaffordable to affordable the difference in repayments is neglible in the current interest environment. 

its a good vote grabber for labor but that's about it history shows gov stimulus for buyers merely inflated prices

    • 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. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
