Are these dream boats Australian? If so consumer law and social media are on your side

It's out of warranty so they can probably charge me whatever it costs to fix... Maybe they'll be nice given it seems to be a common issue, but we'll see.
They sound pretty Asian, but they've got an Australian office if that's what you mean..

Warranty doesn't mean much in Australia anymore - consumer law is now what the consumer reasonably expects the product or service will last for, hence a lot of businesses will bend over for faulty goods that aren't your fault. That and it's not worth the publicity in the age of social media for a couple hundred dollars.

Don't forget to update your "homebase" waypoint if you go mobile or camping with it. Guy we were with was about to pick his drone up at the end of a flight and low battery hit so it took off again and returned to the last waypoint a kilometre or so back where we came from.

Also I beat a drone in a rolling drag

I'll have another look for the receipt today, but if I can't find it they can blow me. I can't see them trying to weasel out of something that seems to be a pretty common problem for their laptops, and that shouldn't happen. Kunce should give me a new one for my inconvenience too

interesting.. certainly not reflected in our business financial hardship would be lucky to represent 1% of our sales and we are the #1 agency here

The implications in the article were that as rates rise, they are going to be some of the suburbs that are hit hard. They weren't saying that they are already having to get out or default.

time will tell.. seems unlikely though - The median individual income is $849 per week and the median household income is $1986 per week. The median rent in Point Cook is $350 per week and the median mortgage repayment is $2200 per month.

 

possibly slightly outdated but regardless does seem overly financially stressful. 

Gross income... Take $10k per person tax and you have $1600 pw or $6,900 pm. less say $3,500 pm living expenses for a family with 2 kids & the aforementioned mortgage payment of $2,200 and you have a $1,200 pm surplus, while rates are sitting at ~4%.

Bump the rates to 6% and that surplus is reduced to ~$400 pm. That's only one unexpected bill away from $0. Not to mention this doesn't take into account car finance, personal loans, credit cards etc etc etc.


Meanwhile, in Narre Warren...

This is post-underquoting laws. Apparently comparable properties for a fully renovated 4 bedroom house means three shitholes with one less room or one less car space / no garage that sold 4+ months ago. Note the aerial shot used to hide any useful view of the property in question.

100 people turned up to this inspection and 72 contact details were taken. 13 offers submitted. When he called me for an offer he said it was already up to 555 and blamed the massive attendance on the owner tidying up the property a bit at the last minute.

Think I'll report the f**kers

    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
