Well i was very forunate. And what i did was ask our accounts lady at work to pay extra tax for me. It was a good way of forced savings.

Plus i had a lot of deductions with my new job.

It's quite tempting to look for a 4 door GT-4 manual R34, they are pretty cheap now and have a full R33 GTR running gear. And i could drop something into it later.

Or i could mod my motorbike.

But a car would be better so I can start coming on cruises and stuff again.

Have you blokes cracked open a R33 GTS4 or R34 GTS4 rear Diff?

You'll find there's a horrid VLSD sitting in there. All though not noticeable with the 4 wheels clawing at the bitchumen but definitely noticable if you are making some decent power and drop a factory clutch pack or aftermarket mechanical in there.

The one up side of the vlsd is because they are a tad loose they are easier to keep in a straight line on corner exit. So more confidence through the hills as you can simply hold it flat. :D

The only other difference is the gearbox ratio's; same model gearbox etc just slightly different ratio's. So same strength yes. :)

I just calculated my tax this avo, and I will owe $204 this year. Far better than the $1560 bill I had last year ;)

I swear "your mob" never take enough tax out.

The wife keeps getting a bill too.

Will have to get them to take out extra for this year, it's way easier to deal with a few less dollars each month.

Agreed 100%. Last year I was screwed over with HECS payments not being enough, this year, they've fixed the HECS mostly, but still not taking enough tax out, grrrrrrrrr. Would help explain the big changes recently in finance department though ;)

yeah I pay extra tax each month.... the year I didnt I got stung bigtime (over a grand) as I couldnt claim much on my vehicle that year.

so, this year, under-declearing income to family benefits scheme, and overpaying tax, should get a cple grand back. straight onto the morgage baby!!! ;)

21months ahead

you f**ken beauty

although for the next year I wont put as much onto the morgage (ie 50% of gross wage) as its time to do more stuff with the little ones on the weekends. cheers to clearheadedness (ie no painkillers) =D

I dont understand. HECS has a minimum income threshold. So why would there be a situation when its not enough. Doesnt make sense to me.

It wasn't just the tax withheld that was the issue. They offered to pay my final year UNI Fee's which was great of them. However, what they failed to make mention of is that by claiming the fee's as a tax deduction for the company, it was then a reportable fringe benefit for me.

A reportable fringe benefit is then grossed up to calculate the HECS taxable income, which meant that my taxable income increased by about $8k (of which I didnt actually get in my pocket as it was paid on my HECS). SO end of the story was that due to the extra taxable income, I got a bill for $1.5k. So really I saved around $5k HECS for around $2k cost to me(as should have got a refund with deductions I had) which was good, but it was still a $1.5k bill that no1 told me would happen when they were being all nice and saying "we'll cover your HECS for this year".

just like a bucket of KFC running away from black afro-american NFL stars.

EDIT: Wait, I get it, makes perfect sense.

im glad you got it, paul. reminds me of the dave chappelle all the time. pre-disposed to chicken. haha

lol yeah, I just didnt see the connection to NFL then I realised it would be like if you have an avatar of a white guy with a KFC bucket for a head making a counter attack in NBA basketball with 5 black players chasing him to the basket and cant catch him, when more often than not, he gets caught. lol

    • Hi, We've all posted some thread, or know of some other person's thread, that contains information that we want to send people who are asking question to. But if we don't have a link readily available, have to go do a search for the thread before being able to do so. So, it occurred to me that we could possibly utilise the auto-text-replace function that fixes some of my swear words to perhaps auto replace some special keywords with text that also has a link to the thread. A specific example. The thread that I did with the improved R32 GTR wiring diagram scans. If the phrase "R32 GTR wiring diagram" could be auto replaced with "R32 GTR wiring diagram" then all I (or @Duncan, or any of the others that refer to the thread) need to do is remember that that's the keyword (or phrase in this case). OK, it would be better if this keyphrase wasn't that long, but it does need to be specific enough that it doesn't get triggered automatically. And obviously there are threads on turbo topics, or suspension topics that we could treat similarly. Alternatively (and/or additionally), I've been thinking about trying to build a library of the real expert content that is trapped in the bowels of the 25odd years of this site. Things like some of SydneyKid's content. There are threads that he started that should be more easily found, and he has individual posts, or series of posts, in other people's threads, containing very good information. Some of us know that it is there, but....just have no memory of exactly where/when/how we saw it. If we had some sort of library thread, we could put posts in there containing links to things we've found, suggestions for how to categorise it, then a mod or other appointed thread maintainer can copy the link and any key text up into the first post in the library thread. There are probably many other ways to get it done. Some sort of wiki is probably the best way.   Thoughts?
    • But, probably that happened to the last person too, which is why the RTV was there.....if you aren't putting a new gasket in you will need to seal the old gasket back to the metal surface with something, the gaskets will generally only work properly for a single use as they set/harden in that shape
    • What is with the horrible blue and white bit in the centre of the wheels, didn't that come off with some scrubbing?
    • Not sure how broadly you define Northside  but Castle Hill Exhaust are still around and could sort it.
    • I haven't done this as I still use the factory cluster, but I do know the circuits for the flash vs on for hi beam are separate which is likely the issue. The ON runs full power through the switch and the flash uses the relay in the engine bay. I'd hit the wiring diagram per GTSBoy's suggestion
