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 :(

    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
