Isn't there new stamp duty advantages coming in July? 

Missed out on these

Buy contract has to be signed after July

I still get 50% off though, and in the scheme of capital growth it wasn't worth waiting a few months / passing up the perfect property to save more stamp duty

I agree with my broker who rationalised that with no stamp duty for FHB will come more competition from other FHBs plus a possible increase in the prices of cheaper properties because of this, negating stamp duty savings. Or...more to the point: my time could have been best to buy while everyone else is waiting for 100% stamp duty savings, as my competition was mostly non-first home buyers and not many at that, due to the more first home buyer friendly price range I bought in.

After months of looking and some offers, I came to the conclusion that you do your research (growth, prices etc.), ultimately pay what the property is worth to you, and as long as you can service the loan the rest doesn't matter!

100% agree, when the right property comes up and if you can afford..just do it

But is your name an easy couple of characters one or does it have like 7 characters making it all but impossible for someone that only speaks English to know how to pronounce it?

Or is this even after it has been romanised?

Who was it that posted that consumer law stuff about warranty not mattering, product working for a reasonable period of time etc...
What would be a reasonable period of time on an oven (residential)

0Bk6_d.gif

Probably a few years; I don't know much about oven expectations. Where consumer law usually favours people is with short warranties like 12 months etc. Ultimately what matters is what you can argue is reasonable at VCAT should you take it that far - if your time is worth more to you then just try your luck at getting repair out of manufacturer or suck it up / buy a new one.

But yeah, back in the workshop days we had at least one case of someone who lunched their gearbox outside of warranty and when the new laws came in we had to replace it because they expected it to last longer.

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
