Congrats Lauren and Paul and welcome to your first mortgage. Sounds like a pretty nicely setup place and a long termer to boot. Don't forget to check the rafters in the garage for strength to lift an engine out (or in) yourselves. Saves on car repair bills so the mortgage gets paid :(

From the title I actually thought there might be a wedding or ..... news of a hybrid V Spec model GTSt from the Nismo shop (oh I'm so funny today) :P

If anyone knows where we can get a cheap but nice BBQ and Outdoor setting let us know! We are going to be doing a lot of living outside :P Its that kinda house! Heated Pool, Spa, Cabana (all i need now is the Cabana boys! haha *jk* babey)

Congradulations to both of you. I wish Troy and I had our diposit up aready. We will be looking mid next year i think.

Outdoor furnishings, go to segals, wait for their boxing day sale. My outdoor setting was only $200, and its really nice. 6 seater with glass table. Just after christmas they have a massive sale, thats when i got mine a few years ago. And also, its ment to be one that doesnt have rust proof on it, but not a spot of rust so far and we live pretty close to the ocean.

As for a bbq, they are expensive, and knowing paul, he will want one with lots of bits and "toys" on it, ... BBQs for blokes are an ego thing like their car i think.. well, thats what troy is like. Maby a second hand one off ebay or the quoka for now if money is tight. I got mine for $20 in a garage sale, Its prob 20 years old, but does the job. That 20 years of build up makes it taste better anyway!!

What do you mean first mortgage, this is now my second :D I've crippled my "Rebuild a 600hp engine" fund ;)

Plenty of room for a few cars out back, and a hoist :P

I'm only 22 - I'm not ready for saggy b00bs, trackie dacks and parent teacher meetings for a while yet. Thanks GTRgeoff :P

Hey Kyles good advice about outdoor setting thanks :P Trust me time flies and Troy and you will be in debt up to your eyeballs before you know it.

Paul - oil splotches on decking really isnt a good look hun.

What happened to the other bit???? :P

Well good luck all the same mate to both you and Lauren, and a couple of mortgages means more cars, not less. I got 5 cars now....

Thinking twice about that barbie at Kyles place if the offer ever comes........

Nothing wrong with my bbq ;) I dont think it will be big enough though for all off SAU.... Micko's is pretty good but :) ..cant pinch it but paul, i think its built in.

When we were looking (and troy was drooling) at bbqs, some can be up to $6000!!! I couldnt belive how much a bbq was! They have a gas stove, oven and all, really who needs a kitchen!! Would be nice to have, but we have different priorities at the moment... like a $900 dog.. humm... i think troy and i have to stop spending and start saving... well... troy start saving.. me spend ;) bwahahahaa... im making an effort... i only bought 2 peices of clothing the other day, and i didnt walk out of the shoe store with 7 pairs of shoes like I did the previous time :D I think im doing very well :)

Sorry, didn't mean to be too harsh on the Barbie Kyles. We all know what you said is true. Plenty of heat and no critters survive and they alway taste better well used.

My better half is keen on me "saving" as well so when the old barbie needed replacing we decided on a style and waited as prices came down. Ended up with one from Bunnings (everything a real man ever needs, power tools, BBQ's the lot). 6 burner with a Wok and trolley and roasting hood. Twin chargrill racks and single plate. Started at 800 and we got it for 500. Then I found the temp was just not enough sometimes so I got out the smallest drill bit I have at around 0.7mm and rejetted them. Barbie now has turbo boost!!!!

I'd be happy to biatch at a barbie with the WA crowd. That way everyone gets to say hi but no plans right now.....maybe later.

And Paul is just discovering, as a true gentleman, that discretion is the better part of valour. But we still have the right to stick the knife in. :)

Cheers

Wow !!

Very good you pair and about time the money was spent on something that appreciates rather than depreciates.

Best part of a mortgage is that in a few years the bank will loan you anything cos you have equity.

Bring on the pair of 34's :P

I will also tell Adam ( who we sponsor ) , and Drift Mike ( who now works here ) to paint some rubber lines from Gnangara Rd to your place :):P.

Ellenbrook is becoming a real SAU/drift persons haven.

Will make it easier for us to find you then...

hehe

Cheers

Ken,

I've also heard Ellenbrook provides a safe haven for Skyline Hoons on the run from the cops ;) Now they will have somewhere more comfy to hangout :lol:

Haha, me either Ken B)

Niz and I thought about moving into Ballajura with you Ken, but thought your neighbours wouldn't appreciate even more noisey cars hanging about ;)

Geoff, We'll put a BBQ on in your honour when you come and drop-off my HICAS lockbar :unsure:

A trip to WA could come off before these slack buggers in Vic actually get the machining done :rolleyes:

    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
