Just had my engagement party down the coast and the weather was amazing the whole weekend. Such a nice place at Ulladulla

Congrats on your engagement! The weather's been too hot for me... considered the beach today, yeah.. nah :D Stuck with the aircon haha. I might take Eva for a quick dip in one of the inlets tomorrow when the long weekend crowds have gone.

Agreed. i have plenty of friends that rent $2M apartments in Sydney but have properties in everywhere from Townsville, Darwin, Dubbo, Goulburn and the like. Diverse portfolios but also houses of all different price categories. Its not a hard game, just need to play it smart.

Nice friends to have! I hope at least one of them has good views of the NYE fireworks ;)

Fairly sure we'd be doing something like this if we ever moved to Syd!

We always had the problem with renting in Sydney with a dog. Some places are ok - Breakfast Point is an apartment area that many allow dogs - but it's rare. Even townhouses don't allow them in many cases. We had to get a house :(

This is what sucks about renting - other people's rules and conditions.

The animal thing is a hard call. We say no to them in our town house and i know that is annoying for some but we've seen the damage that our own animals did to the place (cat climbing up curtains, ripping up carpet etc).

I know there's a bond etc but it's a f**king pain in the ass to get anything back from tenants and we've been burned by tenants before too.

Sometimes it's not even up to you as the owner.... unit and townhouse complexes may have their strata rules. I thought about that Manuel but I have a f**king yapper and I knew I couldn't get away with keeping her secret if some nosy neighbour knew the owners or something.

I accepted animals in one property and just put a pet tax onto it. increased the bond and the rent, full dilapidation report that they signed and anything damaged they fix. worked well enough but in saying that it only works with honest tenants.

Our townhouse is single title.

I might change my mind down the track but while there are curtains and carpet in there still (from when we lived there) no animals.

If I had vertical blinds and tiles then maybe it'd be a different story.

Finishes make a world of difference. I really want to put bamboo floors in our current apartment as they're almost unbreakable. Problem is there's claim on tax doing it "in preparation" for tenants grrr

I was going to put bamboo down in my rental until I saw the cost.... I decided on new carpet instead! I actually miss carpet haha! Annoying to pay for new plush stuff for tenants too :P

But you get it back from the tax man though... We are considering doing the flooring in our investment property too, but me thinks its better to wait till May/June so your not out of pocket for too long.

it isn't legal for strata rules to say no to pets in the ACT anymore.

still require body corporate approval which can't be unreasonably withheld. They need to decide on it at the AGM unless you call for a separate one off proxy which you will need to pay for. Went through this recently for my apartment in Kingston.

I was like 90% sure last year they changed it so body corporate couldn't deny animals in an owned property.... Hmm.....

I did it just before the tenants moved it, so I can't :(

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
