Morning blokes!

So cleaning up my nanas old house on the weekend and now there are 150 or so mini bottles of booze sitting on my loungeroom floor, some of them are quite old... eg mini Jim Beam bottles measured in 1/10 pint, a crownie measued in fl oz, etc.

Does anyone know if there is a market for old bottles of booze? Do people collect them? Are there places out there who would value and buy the lot from me?

I'm getting a normal deal I would say (for1), did my research before agreeing on a rent price

Yeah I'm thinking might need to implement a rule, cos mine comes over a little bit too but not as often (even though it's my joint) fair is fair, I'll just talk to him and say look shes living here 70% + of the time may as well make it official and start contributing or just live with her instead

It kind of turns into a mad house, it's a 2 bedroom unit often with 4 kents running around, straight to bootin everyone out and living lonesome

He should be at least paying (or her) an extra 50% if it's your place.

If your both renting it and splitting rent is be saying.

We pay (for easy maths) $210 a week each, that's $30 a day. She needs to start paying for 3 days a week as a third share ie: $20 a day.

This obviously saves you and him $30 a week also.

But by only charging for 3 days your saying it's ok for her to stay (like your gf) but more than 2/3 days a week constantly the person needs to contribute.

Hope that makes sense. My mate did this once and caused minimal backlash whilst fixing the issue still.

boys,
got some 1000cc injectors, just bought a 460lph pump and probably going to grab the z32s off my cousins freshly cooked GTR.
is it worthwhile chucking some cam gears in?
im hoping that this is the big boy tune..

The issue is I'm not paying any rent because it's my place, makes it a little more confusing, obviously I'm not charging my GF anything (she still stays sometimes) but charging my mate 175 a week / half bills, when essentially that 175 is giving them both a place to live/cook/shower/her toothbrush in the cup etc.. i feel like i'm getting ripped hard.

My mrs even tries to shower at home because she feels bad, I should just ask for 200 or something.

Would hardly piss her off, I know shes on good coin why not pay at least SOMETHING to contribute where you are living.. (roommates gf i mean, not mine)?

If it pisses her off then don't come back here

That makes it easier then.

I'd be saying right it's fair she stays over but it's happening all too often and I think she needs to contribute to bills ect if it continues to make it fair. And tell him you think $50 a week is fair considering she is staying 4/5 nights a week.

My ex had a rule in her house that she had house mates in and that was partners are allowed Friday and Saturday nights and Sunday obviously. Then only one other night per week so Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, thur . Any more than one of those and you had to contribute $10.

Which I thought was fair and a good rule.

brb let me round up EVERYONE that uses Z32s

be back in 4 weeks.

Hassle is the Z32 body is physically larger and won't bolt to the stock airbox, you will also need custom piping in an area there isn't much room.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
