In November 2010, The Weekend Australian reported that "Treasury officials preparing the so-called Red Book of briefs for the incoming government were as divided as private sector economists about the strength of the property market."

In December 2010, an MLC investments strategist observed that "residential property looks absolutely obscenely overvalued and seems to offer very, very poor investment prospects."

In March 2011, Morgan Stanley global strategist Gerard Minack said that "we've had 20 years where the Australian consumers have been willing to borrow more to buy an asset that they believe always goes up in value. The classic sign of an asset bubble." and that "home prices are 30 to 40 per cent above fair value."

In October 2009, it appeared that the pricing of homes was being inflated by actions taken in October 2008 aimed at addressing the fallout from the GFC. Housing was identified as an asset class worth shoring up against the type of deleveraging seen in the stockmarket.

The government increased assistance given to first home buyers as part of its 'Economic Stimulus Strategy',. A substantial reduction of RBA interest rates also played a part in maintaining prices

2010: November - The RBA raises interest rates 0.25% to 4.75% citing the "economy is now subject to a large expansionary shock from the high terms of trade"

2011: February - New housing loans approved by Australian banks fall 5.6 per cent to a 10-year low in February.

2011: March - Prosper Australia launches a campaign for a "buyer's strike" in an effort to drive down prices.

2011: April - Melbourne median home price falls by $36000 (6%) to A$565,000 in March Quarter.

2011: May - The number of properties for sale in Melbourne double.

2011: June - Number of home loans in arrears 90 days overdue, rises to 15 year high.

The only sheep are the ones who keep regurgitating the same theories.

Whats your point?

If house prices are dropping, that means the people who were on the border of buying a property now can = Win

If house prices are dropping because people cant afford to buy, that means more demand on rental properties which means larger return on investment properties. = Win

So cheap house prices & increased rental demand sounds like good times to me, but you sheep can keep spreading your theories on doom and gloom.

So what is your point exactly instead of regurgitating stats/theories which have no key message behind it.

Ey dawg ey... there's a shit storm heading our way, best prepare your angus otherwise you're going to get ur angus swept awayh in all this blizzard babeaa. I've seen the effects of a busted asset bubble, it's quite catestrophic brah. People be sleeping in the streets and sheet....

Brb, gfc 2 heading your way

Just saw a massive stack on the Monash Fwy inbound just before the Berwick-Cranbourne Rd overpass. Car had clearly flipped, cops blocked off whole Fwy. Couldn't even tell what car it was. How the heck do you flip a car on a freeway anyway, would have to do some massive moves.

The back up of traffic is incredible! I'm glad I'm heading the opposite way.

    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
    • Its sort of street but got used for circuit sprints on account of I never drive it on the road because I dont have the time to spare. So it usage was sits around for months at a time then gets driven either 50 or 250 kms to the track followed by 20 laps followed by 50 or 250kms home followed by stuck in the shed until next time. So yeah neither fish nor fowl. Just dont want to break it on the track as a preference. Hence the fairly short sensor/mod list. Probably more worried about it pinging itself to destruction more so than anything oil related.
