blamin the ATO just makes us feel better. it puts a face to the empty promises and hope we all cling to each year. the shadow behind the mask, personified.

I should write a play. 'Phantom Of The Tax Office'

[TiTAN]

i got my refund fine, as did my parentals.

[UNR33L]

I only got 3.7k this year

inb4 dezz trumps me

[Birds]

inb4 it's your own money fgts...if you got buggerall or a bill then you paid buggerall tax or have a terrible accountant. Can earn 50k a year and get a 20k tax return if you want the ATO to hang onto it for you til tax time.

Those with less of a return are generally better off because, if they were clever and put their extra monies into interest accounts or wise investments, they made gains instead of the government getting rich off your shit. They technically made ~$90 off Leighs tax return.

And never plan your finances/bills/expenses around getting a good return...unless you can properly plan the return...in which case you probably don't need an accountant to do it for you.

Same job, wage and expenses as last years which was $1400

And I don't plan expenses around returns but I also didn't expect to spend weeks in bloody hospital

[TiTAN]

so who else here did a 3rd gear pull with an accidentally high 1.93 bar of boost, i was aiming for 1.6 bar i think i over shot the target a tad, it hauled ass pretty nicely at that boost though.

[Birds]

Don't know that feel bro...1 bar is all I need

[TiTAN]

i dont have enough cubes anymore for 1 bar to be sufficient.

MOAR BOOSTS!

[scotty nm35]

The informeter tells me I hit 2.86 bar between shifts, when the auto fails to find the next gear in time for the soft limit. Generally 30psi pulls fairly solidly though.

Stock VQ25det FTW.

[TiTAN]

the skyline had a split vac line to the gate, stuck it on a dyno and it maxed out the dynos map sensor and my boost gauge. so it was somewhere north of 42 psi, the ECU pulled so much timing and added so much fuel it was shooting droplets of fuel unburnt out the exhaust and all over the wall along with a diesel like black cloud, dropped 100kw too for a mere 290kw run.

[scotty nm35]

I had a similar issue a couple of years ago, wastegate line popped off and it ran 3bar+ for a few days (no idea how much as that was the sensor's limit.) It caused the head bolts to stretch and split the head gasket. Still no det, just masses of torque.

[xALmoN]

vq25det with no det

[TiTAN]

everyone has more fun with more boost!

[scotty nm35]

vq25det with no det

Because ethanol.

[TiTAN]

i was running 98 with WMI

WMI + Nitro Meth = winning

[xALmoN]

dat kesh monies to splurge on cars. =(

poor student lyf.

[TiTAN]

you have the kesh monies, if you didnt spend it all on fancy foods you too could enjoy car kesh splurges.

[xALmoN]

oh well. such is life hey?

[TiTAN]

if you say so, id rather spend money on cars than something that im just going to flush down a toilet, but thats just me.

[xALmoN]

hm.

yeah i get what you mean, but the climate in vic is such that, driving a skyline means auto pull over the moment a cop spots you. probably not too worth it to be wasting cash modifying only to return to stock.

then again, might have something to do with me driving a yellow skyline.
