on the topic of owing kesh, i owe like ~20 (not paying interest, but that's another story) but don't give any f**ks really.. gives me something to work towards and a reason to rock up to work every morning :D still live at home too anyway #YOLO

I've got around 30 in CBA shares too which I plan to use for house when that time comes, still young (I think? 23? lol) nah but seriously house is on the list.. I know Pat and Nick have investment properties which is awesome props brahz

Never too young to buy property. Best to do it when you still living at home, that way you can support the repayment until you get a job promo/get married.

Do it now, I hear Alex has good deals on properties. $0 commission deals for us SAU brahs

Fuark... gotta get from Dandy to Bayswater by public transport to pick up the car from the roadworthy place tomorrow morning tho. FML.

Shouldn't be too bad should it ? but you'd probably cop the traffic.

Suppose it's better than having bad chassis.

yeah well when I bought it it had a bent chassis.. spent many 000's to get that fixed to find the body is rooted.

BTW I would like to thank VIP car inspections for the bang up job they did on inspecting this prior to my purchase, I still have the original report they did for the car and yeah...there a reason I now use stateroads

What you didn't mean to do there, I see it.

    • Wait, the flappy paddles or sequential is the small penis indicator?  Either way, I can't afford it.
    • You and me both. If I ever get it running again, I'll have to look into cruise control.
    • Yeah most people that have heard it said it was fine but it's always had me slightly worried. Oil pressure I can't remember off the top of my head but it has plenty, I run 10w60 You're probably right mate, best get ordering some shims! Guessing Nissan is the best place for them?
    • Just wanna preface this and point out I'm a mechanical fitter by trade but have had very little rebuild/machining experience, but I am keen to learn, hence this project. Bit of a write up here so bear with me, just want to make sure I do this right  I've got an rb30e currently pulled down. Planning on putting a 25 head on it and running it in my s14.  Not chasing huge power so I'm just going to try get away with factory bottom end for now.  Started measuring the crank the other day, realised my budget daytona micrometer set wasn't up to the task (surprise, I know). They only measure to 0.01mm but the Nissan specs are to 0.001mm. Anyway, I started measuring anyway and came away with the mains being inline with the oem spec, as well as the big ends, except for no. 5. I consistently got a measurement of a hair over 49.96mm, where all the others were pretty spot on 49.97mm. The lower spec for grade no.1 is 49.961mm. I'm getting access to some better gear my next days off to double check everything, but in the case that the big end is right on that bottom spec, is it pretty much just a case of straight to the machine shop for machining and oversized bearings? I understand I need to measure the tunnel as well to work out my oil clearance, but it's the different grade bearings in the manual that are confusing me. What is generally the process when one journal would still technically be in spec, but in a different grade?  Thanks for coming to my Ted talk
    • You need to visit Ipswich. Plenty of clapped out R32 and R33s running around here as daily drivers. And when I say clapped out, they're how you'd look at a VN, when it's the year 2010...
