Hi, first post in Victoria thread so please excuse any and all missed social conventions. I am thinking of buying a car in Melbourne to do up in the future (I am currently living in Japan) and am looking at some storage solutions. One of the options is buying a car space which seems like a much better long term choice than paying monthly rent for a storage unit etc. Has anyone got any information/experience? As I already said It is for long term car storage so cost is much more important than a convenient location. It must be secure and under cover. Is it a good long term investment - ie when I eventually do move the car out would it be easy enough to rent out (obviously a convenient location then becomes much more important). I have virtually no understanding of the process or obligations/rights of purchasing/owning a car space in Melbourne. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How long do you plan to need to store the car?

A car space is usually going to cost a reasonable amount, depends where it is etc.

Not sure but I think 1 to 2 years

Why not just wait? I can't see how the cost/risk of storing a car which is only going to depreciate is a better idea than just buying one when you get here.

Rare car so apart from the fact another may never come up again it should appreciate.

Hence why I wanna know how long he needs it for.

I might know someone that would happily rent out a space in a workshop for a massively lesser amount than that :)

Sounds cool whereabouts?

By the way thanks for the replies guys, really appreciate it.

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
