yeah i know. maybe i should sue CBA, like that guy who sued Crown for making him spend a few million on a gambling binge.

Card minimum was $4k. i asked for over that and got almost 4x the card minimum.

if you go for other credit, including home loans it will reduce your serviceability significantly.

 

Significantly is a big call

Ill let Hamish answer this

But didn't effect me at all and i just refinanced last month

They look at the full amount of the CC being serviced at a fairly high rate, close to 20%.

at $27k that's $450 just in interest each month.

So even though the limit is unused they assume repayments are to be made as if it has been drawn in full?

 

Well that's intradasting

What difference does it make if you don't actually use the limit?
Effects nobody
How do you pay extra interest to a bank if you haven't drawn the funds?

When applying for home loan your credit card limit is used against you in your borrowing power. The smaller the limit the more you can mortgage

Any line of credit facilities are considered as if fully drawn, as you have the ability to do so without notice

I use my Amex 95% of the time....don't know where you're trying to shop but they probably serve coffee in a f**kin jar so wouldn't expect much from them..

As for credit card limits, it's really not an issue. If you're going for a loan you decrease the limit, get the loan, increase the limit again. The cba lender chick did it for me off her own back... Literally zero effort on my part. And I mean literally in the true sense of the word, not literally in the way every f**king idiot uses it these days

f**king LOL almost spat my coffee out to that first line 

I find that it's accepted probably half the time I would like to use it... and even when it's available it's often not contactless.

getting a card out of my wallet is so 2015

    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
    • The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned. 
    • Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?
    • I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
