Sounds like they weren't interested in lying to themselves

Could I go back to 18 I would have picked up a trade and invested while living at home, or gone FIFO at 20-21 for those years that I was single and didn't do anything spectacular with my time

  • Like 1

Or the Govt.

The amount of hassle involved in having 1 (one) standard (emphasis on standard) drink and then immediately being forced to go home.

We're talking hours and hours of meetings and negotiation here, to move it from 0 to 1, it was previously going back a few years something like 4-5.

At least this is where your taxes aren't going ?

Nothing worse than wasting your youth doing FIFO

 

Except maybe getting addicted to drugs or something. At least it's be fun for a while.

 

Trying to time my re-entry into TLX... Looking good soon, but all stocks on my watchlist been nothing but dropping for weeks now

from what I have seen those are not mutually exclusive.

that moment you find a fun unusual daily.

1997 Nissan Pulsar VZ-R N1 JN15 Manual $2K with RWC in vic

(for those not aware the VZ-R N1 was a homologation special with a 1.6L 147 KW in a 3 door pulsar Import only..)

then you click the link

and back to the search.

 

 

 

Yeah nah not gonna get an N1 in half decent condition for 10x that.

There's a small group of people who treat the N1 as some huge investment. And it's quite hard to get cars or even parts in Japan for them...

I'd like one, but not bending over backwards for one

 

 

Happy new year lovers!

Current 33R carsales bottom = 45K

Catching up to and in some places surpassing 32Rs...maybe the yanks' love affair with the 33 shape will realign the models by age vs price?

How long before we surpass the 2009 R35s in Australia? Which now seem quite old, and a lot of money for a car of that age...not that they wouldn't be worth it. I wouldn't mind trading up on one at some stage if I can get some money together...

Birds, that’s only if yours are running and driven :P

R35 grown on me

I'd miss a manual gearbox like hell...but no way would I be prepared to enlist my own private security for events with the previous model.

That’s true.

Alternatively, grab your gym buddies to act as security guards.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • 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.
