Was checking out Unit prices where I bought 3-4 years ago (Clayton) now that I don't get around the area anymore, soo surprising what similar places are going for now  tempting as to sell would easily be around 200k in the pocket after deducting the remaining mortgage & selling costs.. Considering it to then use as a deposit for building / buying our own 'proper', "forever" house.. but still like that it's a nest egg, I guess we could use the equity of it to borrow on? is that a stupid idea? 

Glad we got into the market last year, home is increasing in value nearly faster than I earn...effectively getting priced out of the suburb. Have to buy in just to stay on the wave with the rest of the property market. Assuming no bubble bursting etc.

Land in the outer suburbs including Casey has increased by 39% in the last 12 months to a median of 392k for a block. Ridiculous.

Should see the property Leesh's parents just bought in Perth - brand new and about twice the size of our house, both the land and building size, for same cost.

Yeah makes it tempting to move state if you can find a decent enough F/T job and not care about leaving Melbourne behind.. could get a pimping place if you took a few hundred K with you.

Night. Less traffic and more... Surreal?

 

Malvern East is primo for overpriced houses.

Look at Dandenong/Hallam/Noble park etc as well.. once cheap and nasty.. now $$$. My mate just got a 3 bedroom townhouse for over 600k!

The rental I'm staying in Vermont 3 bedroom townhouse as well, they are selling it wanted 900+.. went to auction last Saturday, bidding started at 800k.. not one bid, now dealing with even more annoying opens. FML

I think Dandenong is a good investment in future value because it's more inner than Narre, some parts shared with Rowville and Noble Park, but still suffers from being crime ridden and a lower sociodemographic that keep the prices down. Major business hub and large shopping plaza. For me it'd only be a question of time / when that image will shift. Could take another 7-10 years.

Another winner IMO is Carrum Downs - this was our suburb of choice until the Narre place popped up. 5ish minutes from beachside suburbs which have gone nuts...and depending where you buy in it, you're parked next to peninsula link and eastlink. Big old blocks of land that will one day be subdivided to the shit. They're getting snapped up.

My sister got a 2 bdr townhouse near the big Park in dandy for $540k I think. It's a nice place in a quiet and non-dodgy spot. But it's a small place with no grass.

 

Theres still so many sketchy dream boats in dandenong shopping centre... And I'm working in Hampton Park at the moment and no way would I live here. Theres like a house fire nearby every fortnight, an abandoned shopping centre right next to a new one, someone got shot 10 times in broad daylight across the road from where I'm working, sketchy people everywhere. And apparently it's still not as ghetto as northern suburbs (Dallas and surrounding suburbs)

Wouldn't live near the beach again. Grew up mentone/parkdale/edithvale. Traffic is getting worse and it's 20mins longer to drive anywhere compared to other outer city suburbs in the East. No room for new major roads or freeways. Getting rid of the level crossings will certainly improve things, but you always felt bad for not using the beach every week. And if you don't, then it's worth a 10-30mins drive to the beach anyway.

Just putting it out there - told ya'll to pick up 88E at 1.8 cents when it dropped on well close, on the basis of a ramp up before it opens again. 4.2 and counting...

Now the dilemma begins again: whether to sell before news drop which historically has resulted in drops/crashes, with the intention to buy back in lower...or hang on for the chance that the news drop is amazing.

88E artificial lift should yield decent results considering they tried the crazy thing of doing it without it... Farm out this year for conventional... I don't see any reason to sell tbh. I'm just waiting for taxman I guess. Most of my stuff is over 12 months old now, but still got a large packet from when it was 1.6c.
If it gets to 5-10c on a huge spike, I might sell a few with intention to buy back in lower. But at the moment I'm just chillin

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
