This is where the cost of a Tax accountant that knows what they are doing outweighs the costs   FYI $300/h

a custom designed titanium with a gold inlay....

and to be married in a church you need to do a pre-wedding course, which I thought was a load of bollocks till I did it and had some good stuff. 

Oh and lots of religious stuff.

Fancy ring, fair enough.

Who teaches pre-wedding course? And do they hold TAE40116 Training and Assessment qualification?

Good stuff like saying "try not to get divorced"?

TLX going parabolic. Thanks for the tip Leigh.

Hard to know where this share is going... Big price swings on little volume is a red flag, but it's only year 1. I'm 50% hold, 50% cash out....

Was wondering if you still had them :)

Yeah they're going pretty good, who knows what the future holds.

How much should someone trust your banks online mortgage calculator?

I was f**king around with commbank's one and it says they'll only give me slightly more than my total assets worth (savings, shares, cash, cars) even though my expenses are only 65% of my base pay (after tax).
I know they can't use irregular overtime and irregular non-taxable income to work out loans, but when it makes up an average of 30% of someones income over a few years, they can't just ignore it?

I'm not looking for a mortgage, or even sure if I want one, but just curious.

when I first talked to the bank they offered way more than the calculator after getting details.
(we actually wanted less than the calculator offered anyhow)
when we eventually went through a mortgage broker they offered even more.

 

Can def see how people get into trouble with how much they offer.

Where as I worked out what repayments I was comfortable with and worked back from that.

 

so my theory is banks will give you just about anything so long as the property is worth 20% more than the loan, as worst case is they will foreclose and get their profit anyhow. best case is more profit as you borrowed too much and are living off black and gold tuna.

Banks aren't giving out money like they used to.

Pretty sure they won't factor in shares unless you sell either as they're potentially worth $0 the next day, or in the case of 88e, definitely.

is this due to you buying more 88e?

Leroy do you still own any 88E?
Yeah it's like 30% of my portfolio.
Will sell most when I hit green. Will keep some because hodl

Speaking of hodl and parabolic, Ive been back in the green on Bitcoin the last few days. Obviously everything else except Litecoin has tanked.
Now not really sure what to do... First big whale sell off hit this morning. But it gains momentum just so quickly

      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)
