Pretty much, only ever see people posting up their winning tickets eh.

Anyone know the law behind renting? A friend has just moved in a week ago to a place but there's a LOT of shit that doesn't work or is problematic, stove doesn't work, oven doesnt work, toilet leaks pretty badly, taps drip, some lights don't work, TV antenna on the house doesn't work & pick up 0 channels with rabbit ears to name a few. What's the likely hood of leaving? Would they loose the whole bond and months rent paid in advance? or is there a cooling off period? I've never rented so got no idea. 

I mean I know stuff can be fixed, but shit takes time and headaches plus they're not in love with the place to begin with. 

Eh...have to give landlord opportunity to fix and they have to fix within a certain time period from when you make the complaint. If it's an emergency item (those aren't btw), you can get fixed yourself and bill the landlord for it.

I'm not sure if you can negotiate a lower rent payment until problems are fixed or get reimbursed for the inconvenience, but you legally have to pay the rent or you risk breaking the lease (the broken shit doesn't break the lease unless they never fix). Real estate agents are generally pretty good about getting problems sorted if you stay on their backs. If they don't fix then you could go to VCAT and break the lease without penalty, getting bond and any pro-rata rent paid in advance back.

 

landlord has 14 days to attend to non urgent maintenance.. also you cant just fix urgent items and bill the landlord you have to notify the agent / landlord IF no action is taken in a reasonable time frame then you can do that but be careful its a minefield as if its deemed to be excessive or a problem the tenant was responsible for they get stuck with the bill.

best bet is submit maintenance request if no action in 14 days apply to vcat they most likely wont terminate the lease but they will give the agent power to use the rent to get items attended to in order of necessity if your really lucky they might let you out

Thanks mate, some good advice i'll pass it on. I think the place will be fine once shit is sorted, it's just a matter if they actually DO sort shit out within 14 days - time will tell.

that was my theory as well.

 

but the service just didn't work at the time.

 

12Mg is pretty slow

is the adsl 2+ or 1?

also from experience the ping times are a bit crappy so if your gaming might be an issue

 

 

yeh not the best speeds, but adsl2 can be shitty and random from my experience too (seen 2-15mbps depending on location) leeroy got like 2mbps didn't he? lol 

speed tests were over the 12/1 cap on the phone so leaning towards suggesting the wireless option.. only like 15ms ping too which is decent enough not that they'd be gaming.

Almost worth getting a cheap set of 18's for track wheels. May look slightly gay. Lol

thought about it, just not sure if fronts would clear brakes and just another added cost for a car I barely track :P 

Eh, a DECA video from the weekend I made, in car footage is kinda meh lucky I at least had the old go pro on the side for a while, not pushing the car (armco) but really enjoyed the day

Yeah some people claiming the second coming of christ on hot copper. Some "big players" have popped their head in so everyone gets excited. Triple the buy orders on commsec from the low volume last week.
They put out a research document thingy last week that went basically unnoticed.

In my long term opinion now is a great time to be in if you're looking to cash out in a few months, as no doubt IW2 and it's associated news will have you above he current prices at some point.

In my short term / daytrader opinion I'm selling out today because...sell when people buying etc.

Tidy profit from today then. Theres talk of buying more leases for land that includes more of the conventional pockets found, auctions are 9th of december or something. I have a suspicion more details of the seismic results will sprout there heads after (or maybe shortly before) the leases are sold off.
Why release all that info when its only going to drive up the price?

    • My plan is to go the pink option. But still add the 4th fitting near the oil cap and just cap it off for now.  That way I can add 2 extra to the sump and have 4 dedicated breathers/drains if I ever remove the sump for any reason. 
    • Oh, yeah, look - here's the thing. You always replace the tensioner when you're going in there to replace a belt....under normal circumstances. You want to make sure it is good and safe, and that you don't create a reason to take the front of the bloody motor apart again. But in this case, OP is replacing a belt that has aged out on time, not usage. The belt is a million miles away from aging out on usage. The belt gets a time "limit" merely because it is made of rubber and can degrade naturally. The tensioner? Not so much. I reckon it could last forever on the current usage pattern. So I reckon if the thing is going to continue to get used at the same rate, replacing the tensioner is somewhat gratuitous. Would I replace it if I was doing it on my car right now? Hell yes. Because my car does 10-20 thousand kays a year. So it's all going to be the same thrashedness. Would I YOLO it on OP's car. More than likely.
    • I dunno. I think any one of those from each side to sump is probably enough. Remember - this is about creating a path for gas flow up from the sump to the cam covers. That gas flow then has to leave via the lines to the catch can. There's probably little point in providing 100% more capacity from sump up to covers cf. what you have from there to the catch can. Put in the 3 convenient ones? Any which way that you see fit. That'd be my thoughts.
    • Getting holes drilled into to cam covers and AN10 fitting welded on. My sump has 2x AN10 fittings on it already. These are the options I have come up with that can be done without needing to remove the sump to add more fittings. In all options front of passenger side cover connects to VCT head drain bung (i know this isn't the best spot but my feeling is it must do something). Option 1 (pink). The back of each cam covers gets its own line to sump. Option 2 (blue). The back of each cam covers are linked and share a line to sump. The front of drivers side gets its own line. Option 3 (Black). Drivers side are Tee'd together and share a line to the sump. Passenger side rear gets its one line to the sump.
    • I'd be surprised if Nissan doesn't mention it in the manual as it seems unlikely that a tensioner is going to last 200,000km.
