Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

All bolts were out. I thought the hex heads in the center near the plug holes were head bolts.... Look exactly the same, one was slipping g and rounding so drilled it out. Went through.... Was like the fcku and tried lifting it. There ya go

Yeah im not too fussed about it. Theyve had some offers lower than us. Its been on the market for ages. But for 50k more than what its up for now. Its been up for a month now at this price and i dont think it will last at this price but at the same time we're the only ones with an offer in at the moment so he might just sign it and not give a f**k.

We're digging our heels in at this price and he can either sign it or wait for another buyer.

There's a lot of other tax incentives/decentives to think of aswell. If you rent then live in a house, you're up for pro-rata capital gains from the time you weren't living in it, and i'm not sure how room mates work either. Way way simplier if they just pay cash of course. "what room mates? me and my missus were just living alone in this 5 bedroom house?"

And i've quoted the wrong post of yours.

400kw lag city. Similar to -10s i think

Borg warner twins are a muhc better way to go for that sort of setup, supposedly. Or a similar power single is better, or a similar sized precision is better. or something.

not entirely accurate. Should u purchase a primary place of residence and rent it out you will not be subject to any CGT should you elect that property to be your main residence.

Please seek advice from a tax professional should you do this as there are factors that may also assist in retaining the main residence exemption

Yeah we're both pretty up on how all the incentives and systems work. Both in the industry. Good portion of my degree was based around property development.

Main thing is we're happy with the price and the rental returns are great + its in a good growth area blah blah blah.

I just want to have something signed and agreed lol.

    • Well, if it wasn't a GTR I'd say that killing an RB is a perfect opportunity to put in a proper engine. In your case, proximity to Brabus and AMG V12s would be a no brainer for any RWD Skyline engine death event. In my case, because my car is my daily, anything that I do wrong that means I have to do it again is both an absolute pain in the arse (simply having to do it again), and also a doubling of the pain associated with having the car off the road to work on it. I would class a botched head gasket install as not being "engine death causing". More a case of "f**k it's still leaking!"
    • Yeah, this is more stuff like transmission/clutch R&R. Intake manifold R&R. It's not super complicated, but each step matters and you need to be careful and patient. I have heard stories for example of people not figuring out the super coppermix twin plate orientation and getting it wrong on assembly. Removing a cylinder head and putting it back in once it's machined isn't that hard, following torque sequence to install some cams isn't that hard either, but somehow I've seen a lot go wrong between here and there. Scraping off all gasket material isn't that hard either, but I've seen shops ruin heads by using a roloc disk that was too aggressive.
    • There is some shops in Germany that have quite a bit of experience with JDM performance 4-wheelers. I think if it actually comes down to it I'd let one of them do the head gasket. Killing an RB26 is too expensive a risk just to save some money by doing it yourself.
    • There are certain tasks, like replacing head gaskets, where it is very much best to already know what you are doing, and if you are not already an expert, then the next best thing is to have an expert around to help it get done. Little annoying checks and steps that are easy to forget or not interpret the results of properly, etc etc. It is hard to convey that to someone as a lesson prior to taking on a job, because there can be a whole list of "if you see this then it means that", or "if this is what you find then you will need to do these other 4 steps first". All the little bits of knowledge around sealant choice (ie, sealant at all? or no sealant? sealant only in certain parts of the gasket? sealant for this type of gasket but not that type of gasket? etc etc) cleanliness checks and methods, surface straightness and finish checks and methods, etc etc, all combine to mean that people who have done many of the same type of job will struggle less to get a good result than someone who hasn't done it before. I've been around this stuff since forever. But I will still consult with my expert(s) before taking on the big stuff with higher risk profile.
    • Well if I end up having to do the head gasket I will certainly find the necessary tools and instructions before beginning... Let's hope it won't come around.   Definitely. Depends on the job but I think "if you want it done right, do it yourself" applies almost every time
