So a massive gate and massive sliding/folding glass doors across the whole back of the place?

It seems like a fine stage from which to show off your efforts in the gym, at least thats the first reason you would want it that comes to mind.

small side garden I see to work on.

 

the empty lot next door is that part of the park or will some-one build on it? 

Park - only have one neighbour.

first home buyers duty reduction. you get 50% off if it your primary place of residence.

 

if you put the full 80% down them you don;t need to pay loan mortgage insurance.

 

simples

 

 

You mean 20%

 

If you put down 80% up front on your first house you have done well.

 

Going 20% deposit also gets you lower interest rates on top of not having to pay mortgage insurance.

With this I got the NAB first home buyer rate which is apparently the best in the market right now - fixed for two years. Also get about $1800 worth of shopping vouchers.

Oh shiiiit

Don't tell him/her that you earned the money with CSGO skins

 

I prefer independent jewellers (bcoz hipster) because the people and artists actually know what they're doing, and they have no reason to lie to you, the items do all the talking so to speak. It's not just a spec sheet.

 

I've used e.g. etal in the CBD a couple of times. More designer stuff, but guaranteed unique and brownie points for the wimminz (compliments and envy galore amongst peers). Also got quality custom necklace from Ralf Finch in The Basin (chose a design, picked necklace and got to choose the pearls to use).

 

Edit: diamond earrings is a tough choice. Easily lost, small, mostly are studs so super subtle.

"Pearl necklace" sure sure 

Ok cool so there's no decent online shop gotta get off my ass and go somewhere? 

Mortgage insurance is proportional to your LVR and there's a law of diminishing returns to it, which starts to get awfully shitty when borrowing at high LVRs.

Here's a good example - you have 70k saved up as a first home buyer, it could be allocated as such:

A. 600k property, 5% deposit of 30k, LMI of 26k, stamp duty 15k = initial upfront of ~70k and your LVR is 95% on 570k borrowed

B. 500k property, 10% deposit of 50k, LMI of 9k, stamp duty 11k = initial upfront of ~71k and your LVR is 90% on 450k borrowed

So whilst 100k difference between the purchase price of the two places, the more expensive one actually requires you to borrow 120k more due to money spent on LMI (and some for the extra stamp duty).

One loophole you could use to avoid this - get a relative to borrow and "gift" you enough to make up a 20% deposit and cover the stamp duty - you finance the other 80% = no mortgage insurance and you just service both loans. Or they can go guarantor on the loan and you technically don't need any deposit or LMI.

With this I got the NAB first home buyer rate which is apparently the best in the market right now - fixed for two years. Also get about $1800 worth of shopping vouchers.

 

I'm on 3.81% at the moment, zero annual fees.

 

Looks like the comparison rate for that 3.69% deal is 4.38%

 

Pretty sure ubank and loans.com.au are still the actual comparable cheapest as they have no annual fees on their variable rate loans, with a once off few hundred $$ fee if you want to go fixed rate. But you have to have minimum 20% deposit to get those deals.

Where's a good place to buy some diamond earrings? 

Don't mind spending a bit but not stupid amounts, birthday present.

 

Inb4 subtle, VWL6fig, 800k etc.

Il stick with my pay less interest and fees In the long run than get some vouchers up front plan.

We comparing our loans or what was available to me at the time?

It was available to you too? You said you went in on 20% or more deposit?

 

Talking about the rate; I have no idea when you obtained a loan.

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
