  1. The HID ballasts sit under the headlights. It's a bitch to get to. Gotta remove the bumper basically.
  2. Hmm that inner ring looks aftermarket. Headlight is centre, high beam is inner. Is the car in Aus? Did compliance re-wire your headlights and remove the HIDs?
  3. Being a newbie in any area usually means reading up some basic info like: - what are reputable brands - how much am I expected to pay - what suits my car - is installation difficult and worth the hassle
  4. Who cares. 88E gonna be buried under the permafrost. Why should anyone or Oil search offer them shit? Great bear and 88E done the hard work. Maybe if oil search want to say they have the leases for half of Alaska, then they'll probably be low balled. But anyway, lots of spec stocks been pummelled this year. Lots haven't recovered from December fall. Now is a time to be ambitious, but I'm trying to keep it tight. Keep it real. Picked up a bit more CPH at bargain basement prices, and SW1 too.
  5. Started rental inspections over the weekend... We were the only people there for 2 out of 3 inspections that day. Houses had been empty for quite a while, seems owners aren't budging on price. One is way over priced so will apply for $50 less a week than what they offering... f**k em. My mum's townhouse in Chelsea just had 3 townhouses built on the block next door. One sold off the plan for $780k. Been trying to sell since it finished construction, no interest so went to auction. No bids at $620k. Real estate agent was saying long weekend clearance rate was low 40%, but they were expecting low from long weekend
  6. Byron BYE has been doing well for me, bought and sold medium term twice now for profit. Making a little bit on dividends with Oil Search and Mineral Resources, planning on holding long term. Waiting for TLX to drop a bit more now the news has slowed down, gonna get back in. I bought into SLX (uranium re-enrichment) hoping to time a brief uranium run, but company announced bad news and I was in the red for a long while, good news brought up price and got out for some profit luckily. Still holding small MXC and CPH but they've not been doing well. Expected bigger things for Aussie cannabis products by now. SW1 a decent share IMO but price hasnt recovered from down turn late last year. So good entry at the moment. brb, selling my motor bike coz no space and then gonna buy another a la UNREEL
  7. Have you tried measuring AC volts instead across the knock sensor, as a comparison? Have you tried with a different knock sensor? Or a new one? Or a different ECU even? You want help understanding what it's doing, that's fine, but you gotta help more than just saying you have a DC measurement. For all we know you could be measuring onto the wrong wires. Or the multimeter is a $20 Jaycar special.
  8. I know what you mean, and personally feel similar for my own means. But freedom of choice and the ability to buy whatever you want (legally) is part of being an adult. So is money management. And poeole will chose to get loans for the car they want. The government will just take some more hidden costs off the top. Like pokies.
  9. Thread delivers. The vague thread title says it all really.
  10. What tyres are they and what size. Where is the item located.
  11. I look forward to the day that other luxury items are taxed at higher rates than cheaper options. Like clothing. And vacuum cleaners. And TVs. And tools. And furniture. I mean, if someone wants to go for a more expensive option for anything, they should have to pay even more again, because there are cheaper alternatives available.
  12. That doesn't help. What width? What offset? What spec tyres? If they don't fit properly the person doing the alignment might have wanted more camber to get them under the guards and recommended suspension arms.
  13. I think the threshold should be $100k. $70k barely gets you a LandCruiser 70 dual cab (excluding additional costs). Seems like it's not much of a market or free choice for models/manufacturers when theres a 30% surcharge seperating models in similar price brackets (well, sorta similar. People movers for example)
  14. Well if you just need rear camber, only need rear camber and traction arms (same/similar as V35/Z33). For front, coilovers with camber adjustment on the top mount should be enough for -2 degrees or so. What wheel/tyre combo are you trying to fit?
  15. I just find the title of the tax misleading. Is it for luxury cars or just any car retailing for over $66k? People want to tow their big boats/caravans/horse floats/hay bails/water tanks. You would think a luxury car is defined as a car which is substantially better equipped and substantially more expensive than cars that do a particular role. So... Merc A class hatch vs Hyundai i30. Toyota Camry vs Lexus ES etc. And why should secondhand cars be stung with LCT? Gosford car museum closed its doors thinking they could dodge GST and LCT because it was a museum selling old cars. (Lol)
  16. So many at Tokyo Auto salon. So many mods and conversions. Could build a rock crawler or a work ute from one.
  17. Front lower control arms? T-demand do a set for the F50 (which should fit). Nagisa Auto also do some. Google it, find out the price for yourself and then decide it's not worth it. The front end is unique to Y34/F50 I believe. Can't even confirm if Y33 is same as Y34. I've done heaps of research on American forums regarding M45 and didn't find anything that was true.
  18. In just about every M35 random engine issue thread: - replace or test a different MAF - replace or test different coil packs
  19. How the f**k can you keep your job on seven years unpaid leave? 6 months maybe... With baby, 12 months, isnt it? And the week's you get paid by work, you're paid by government, yes? It's like minimum wage or something. Which is still more than doing PhD
  20. Edge has a members car here and has been getting an engine rebuild for the last 2+ years, so no, I wouldn't go there personally. It's also not south east.
  21. Edge have a huge workshop that is often over flowing with cars. Sabbadin automotive are reputable and I've found them organised/responsive. Especially compared to other shops. I've had good experiences with Springy Motors too.
  22. Don't teachers get some crazy maternity deal that regular pleb mothers don't get? (Or something?)
  23. Looks like it. If you'd have ordered before 12pm and got express post it could have arrived by tomorrow
  24. They're like less than $45... I can understand a turbo smart one, but not turbo tech.
