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?

    • Nissan/Pitwork is fine stuff. HKS is just marketing wank. I personally wouldn't do the idler if it is already new. If it looks and feels fine, it is fine. But as D says - it's cheap to add it to the job. The water pump ditto. Even more so. If it show no signs of problems, then it is nearly new - leave it.
    • 1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.
    • How to wreak havoc at a bogans party... Swap out the goon bag hanging from the clothes line with oil bag... Watch chaos ensue during Goon of Fortune....
    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
