Almost bought a chocolate borderline champagne diamond at a charity auction; they got tired of no one bidding on it so halved the reserve price...still no bids. Cheaper than anything I saw on the internet.

when we were shopping diamonds, this shop tried to push me into buying a diamond that had a bug in it...

like it was cool and all as the bug must have been prehistoric... but do you think my wife would honestly want that? FFS lol

What you want to know? And it's really budget then work back from there to get best you can for your money

My mate wants some direction on where to go/where to look. His budget (if i can remember) is around 15k. No more than 18ish. Just wants a general direction on where to look for rocks. I remember tony got it from the states or something?

Just a kick starter so he can start looking

For that budget he will get a good rock I used a guy in the city like a broker basically saved heaps comapred to what stores offered and got a significantly better diamond

I didn't go for biggest rock possible went for balance of size, cut, color, clarity ended up with a 1.2ct E could have got a 3ct g for a bit more but it looked like a rock from diva

I can pm his details of u want but he doesn't stuff around so only go see him if your genuine

Well with the shitty exchange rate these days savings wont be as much but should still be cheaper. From memory my diamond from the states was over half the price compared to Aus

$15k for diamond? Baller!

My opinion is cut is the most important. It determines the 'brilliance' and sparkle

Clarity and colour. Just go for the best that the eye can see. Why pay for double for imperfections that you can only see under a micrscope at 100x zoom

Then just go for the biggest diamond lol

Make sure to inspect and get a report on the diamond, can get independant along with the GIA report to make sure its not dodgey

Thanks Ric...should have you round for a drink nohomo...did you notice the Versace decanter?

IMO trick is to buy grog too expensive to drink on the daily (am aware I have baileys and midori in there; it's a rule of thumb jack ass). And replace what you do take when you take it.

I've started war on my dessert wines though; hard to resist the sweet allure after a filling meat meal like a big steak.

    • Thanks for that.... If only I could do something once and be happy with that, like some people do....
    • I had no transmission at all so I managed to find a big box manual gearbox from an R34 GTT for an insanely good price in EU. I converted it to push type which cost more than the transmission almost, with parts from Amayama! These engines are very strong and can put out decent power with a properly sized turbo. You can save on money from parts like pistons and rods, and invest those in the transmission and other parts. I suggest you join the RB20 Enthusiasts facebook group, plenty of info and almost daily posts there about 20DE/DET/Neo+T builds. (I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules by mentioning third party platforms, just trying to help the buddy out)
    • Yeah, having tried all of those methods including BBQ+recipro/hacksaw, I ended up buying a bush press kit under $150 that works well, like this: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/355967727167?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=sfmmuhxgqhm&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=dJvnaZ11TB-&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY It basically has a range of pushers and cups with threaded rods between to press out a range of large bushes. The problem with any sawing solution is minimising damage to the subframe side, although it probably needs a quick sand afterwards no matter what solution you try due to damage
    • Hi. Thanks for the answer. I do not have instagram 😄 I too considering turbo the RB20DE NEO 🙂 But i think i upgrade the gearbox first or at least buy new.  
    • Just pulled the passenger apart so got a good idea, also the side bracket that pivots the top half is completely cooked.. how I don’t know.. haha and paid $400 also included a photo of the passenger seat! She is mint
