Name 3.

(Im just interested to know what other ones you think of.)

ok.. this is petty :rofl: but well..

1. Transfer $5 automatically via netbank into an ING, etc savings account each week. You wouldn't even notice it, and bang, $250 at the end of the year. Stop stuffing around with stressing about petrol!

2. Don't send pointless SMS with "yes", or "no". More than 2 SMS, pick up the damn phone to say or organise what you need to - it's cheaper! Or if you are home, call from a home phone to a mobile, it's usually always cheaper. Save $10 a week easy.

3. Shop around for better phone plan, mobile plan, etc.. Don't waste money on fancy mobiles to be fashionable that you don't use half the features anyhow. Don't get locked into expensive plans for 2 years, etc by which time the phone is throw away anyhow.

4. Go to the butcher to buy your meat and or grocer to buy your fruit/veg. Supermarket meat costs a lot more for the convenience. I can bet you'd save a lot more than $5 a week on this one. Check the prices sometime.

5. Go to the supermarket and buy things that are on special in bulk. Not supid things, but just the things you buy week in week out anyhow that store.

6. Don't be lazy and buy junk food.. cooking real food is cheaper. Make your lunch each day rather than buying. $5 a day saved easy.

7. Wait until Tuesdays or so when the prices are always cheaper on petrol. You could then go find that place that has it that 3-5c cheaper on that day and then save maybe 60L x 5c = $3, but well, $3! CBF.

8. blah.. none of the above are particularly hard, there is plenty more.

Not that I really do all of these things :) but it's mainly just because I can't be bothered with the stuff around going out my way to save a few bucks, or sit there letting minor things worry me like "oh no, better not fill up here, it's 5c more expensive than if I went up the road!", and have a cry about the petrol prices. If I want to save money I'd do all the above before worrying about petrol.

It seems like petrol prices consumes everybody when there are more important things in life to worry about, and so many other ways people waste money in their day to day things. It's funny to me.

    • Clutch hydraulics are also all good, looks like a brand new slave cylinder and everything bled up well. No idea what the actual clutch is, and I don't intend to pull the box off on the floor to find out, so unless we have trouble on the dyno or at shakedown that will remain a mystery for the new owner
    • Front brakes are G4 8 pot calipers over 330mm discs with braided lines. Everything looks good, pretty sure these are off my old 350. Pads are brand new and judging from gold colour are Winmax which is what I also run on my race car, Neil and I both sourced brake stuff from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney who really knows his stuff Everything has bled up nicely with all new Motul RBF600 fluid, there were 2 loose hard line connections and the calipers were new on the car so I ended up doing it 3 times but it is perfect now
    • So, starting with the rear brakes. They look like standard R33 GTST, and will need new pads shortly (less than 5mm material, probably only 1 day left). The slotted discs (probably DBA) are near new at 18.01mm and the lines are braided
    • I clean my wheels every time I wash the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash and a pressure washer, followed by (inset your chosen name brand) wash and wax, time per wheel is probably 2 minutes total, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, they're also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay  
    • An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
