I'm hoping/praying that the market returns to normal by the time im looking to buy a house. Probably wont be for the next 5-10 years though, I want to work overseas first.

Dan where in the country?

It’s not the market is stuffed persay, it’s banks aren’t lending as much anymore – Nor valuing up properties as much just to write the loan deal.

Which means property prices come down.. Which they haven’t in area’s like Brisbane (think 10 – 15km radius).

Sellers aren’t prepared to take the loss and buyers have a lot to choose from/pick up deals on peoples misfortune.

Could do.

A client of ours has been buying up on the Gold Coast.

She is getting 1 and 2 bedders in Surfers +/- 1km from $215,000 - $350,000.

Just bought another one last week too. She is able to get $220pw on the $215,000

Not bad tbh

John, do you really care what some bunch of herpaderps think?

What if there are group assignments? :down:

john i use to sleep through tafe, then sit the exams, in my 3 blocks of tafe i never had a result lower then 94%.

I've been thinking about sleeping. It took two days to get through OH&S instead of it all being done yesterday. All because these people are soooooo thick. We had a test today (on OH&S). I finished it in about 20 mins, then sat for another 35mins while other people kept going... some of them didn't even get it finished. It was an open book test... ;)

55 mins to finish a 28 question open book exam... and some of them didn't even finish... that should be an instant FAIL.

I'll let andrew know if we need more apprentices, one has been given a written warning. Might be his turn to go

Well I'm keen for it. I think the 4th week is meant to be work placement. So if he's been given the ass by then, maybe Andrew might want to work something out to get me in for a week?

My problem with the market is the majority of homes are retardedly overvalued. When I say return to normal I'm hoping for a price correction >30% back down to levels prior to FHBG and stuff like that. Still might not happen for awhile and you never know what the government will do there is a lot riding on house prices atm so it might be a case of too many people too high up for it to fail. Could be starting now though if the first home buyers get screwed out of the market then it f**ks everyone else aswell. Investors selling an overpriced asset to more investors yeah definitely sounds sustainable.

Won't happen..

Maybe 10%, not 30% though

@Tristan, Dan: We won, all your sins are forgiven <3

@Josh: Pork

@Colin: Dirty Ranga Poms aren't allowed to buy houses in Australia. Although if Julia manages to cobble together a government you might have a chance...

@Geoff: Hey Geoff! :D

@John: Just stop wearing pants to TAFE. Will make the whole affair much more interesting

@Ravi: Sup RavBat! Come to Baskins!

@All: Who wants to come help remove an alfa motor on Saturday morning? Looks like I sold it :D

I'll see how I go man! I honestly have been trying most weeks, but there's ALWAYS shit on on thursday nights now

Hows you been anyway, other than pimping out alfa motors?

@Martin: Heya :D

@Dan: Are there group assignments?

It'll be interesting to see how the shit hits the fan when our housing bubble bursts...

i never had a group assignment for tafe, you rarely get homework there.

Ravi, why do you want that section removed? more noise? buy a resi and i might find some time to weld it for you

John i'll be talking with the manger tomorrow, i'll let him know.

Tafe is easy, most of the answers are in it anyway. I found it simple, although actually having intelligence helps.

    • Bloody Skylines, they put you through the bloody wringer! Stick at it! Stunning drag strip BTW! Where is it? Can see part of the name on the slip and probably should just Google it!
    • I mean the other day I had to walk someone through diagnosing why their timing belt was walking off the cam gears. At least one of the issues was a bent tensioner stud. Local mechanics have found runout on the CAS mechanism causing weird failures. I'm also no saint here I've documented some of the things I've had to learn the hard way. Something I discovered recently is that my CA emissions catalytic converters weren't even welded correctly to align the downpipe to the main cat and they tossed the support bracket that goes from the transfer case to the downpipe to support everything there. I spend a lot of time chasing down these decidedly unsexy problems and the net effect is it feels like I never actually get to the original objective (flex fuel, VCAM, oil control, cooling, etc).
    • At times with how you make everything sound, all I imagine Americans doing when they see a gtr is standing there looking at it and bashing it with a gun like how a caveman would with a club and hoping it fixes itself 
    • I think this is just a product of how the US market works for this stuff. Shops are expensive and there's no real way of knowing what kind of results you're going to get, people don't really have the institutional knowledge. I have heard too much at this point to really put faith in anybody "full service" except maybe DSport and they aren't really a full service kind of shop. If you go to the right place I have no doubt they'll get it right for you. Some locals have set it up right but the cost really is nuts and even now they're still fighting issues. And you know I'm a crazy person who thinks things like twin scroll, relatively short low-mount cast headers, PCV recirc to intake, recirculating BOV, right-sized for ~400 whp, MAF load, validating all of that to a standard comparable to OEM test programs, etc are relevant. For what it's worth, multiple local owners at this point have been stuck in a perpetual cycle of blowing a motor -> getting someone to rebuild it -> some missed detail causes the bearings to wipe and spin just outside of break-in mileage or drop valves or some other catastrophe -> cycle repeats. I usually only find out about this because I'm perpetually helping random friends with diagnosing car troubles, Skyline or otherwise. The single turbo stuff if I'm honest is mostly secondary, it just doesn't seem to achieve the numbers in the ~2000-3000 rpm region that I would expect given the results I've seen here or in Motive's videos. I don't really know what we're missing here in the US to be causing this. Lots of people like to emphasize the necessity of finishing the project first and foremost, but I'm not made of money and I can't afford to be trashing a 15k+ USD engine build with any regularity. Or spending my relatively limited garage time these days unable to triangulate problems because too much was changed all at once. Also, even if it isn't a catastrophic failure I would consider spending the cost of single turbo conversion with nothing to show for it to be pretty bad. 
    • The water pump is know to leak as well. So if the coolant is low checking that first as well as hoses.
