Speaking of parking, got 3 parking tickets in November (only finding out about them a few weeks ago because they had flown or were removed from the car) when parking at Essendon Airport long term. I called up the council saying I have receipts, why was I fined so many times? they said "we have photos here of your car with no ticket displayed" "that's because it's a ticketless parking system in the long term area!" goddamn inspectors are muppets. They must have fined every person in the car park.


That's stupid even for a council.

f**k that's harsh :(

His letter back was hilarious. Said next time he'll try to throw coins into the coin slot of the parking meter as he's driving past to meet their requirements of having a ticket before you park

Haven't used my Eastlink/Citylink pass on my own cars in a long time, and now im using it again seems to drain funds pretty damn quick. no tag = photo numberplate recognition thingy, price is 0.75c per trip (thought it was cheaper... used to be 0.25c on Eastlink).

Anyway, reading about the tolls roads... It hadn't ever occurred to me, that if you buy a 24-hour citylink pass, its a flat rate for 24hrs. But if you have a tag and use it three or more times a day its more expensive than tagless... and when Transurban was told about this they said people can remove the tag and get a pass if they like (but passes are limited to a certain amount per year. What bullshit.

Wasn't citylink supposed to be paid off and toll free 20 years after being built or some shit

Yeah I don't think a single modern toll Rd in Australia has actually switched to free.
Still shits me the transurban CEO is on like $2.3mil a year and pays more tax than the company itself.

What's is Transurbans taxable income?

Alot of the media sensationalise Corporate's paying no tax because they publish revenue figures not profit figures. 'XXX' company males $1 billion a year in revenue but pays no tax. No shit maybe because they are in a net loss/taxable income loss.

my no idea review shows

2083 M Revenue

1526 Mill EBITA

174 M Profit after that

35 M tax credits

 

for a net real profit of 209 M

So looks like $174M taxable income $52M income tax expense for the 2017 FY

 

2016 comparative shows a tax loss and therefore no corporate tax paid

Something along the lines of high debt business writing off debt owed or repayments or whatever...
But yeah, I know media talks things up

Writing off a debt on revenue account means that previously the other side of the 'debt owed' would have been recorded as income.

 

So fair enough if your never going to get it the income previously recorded should be 'reversed' against.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
