It's taking a holiday together for the last time before your life changes for ever. Not to mention the fact that you won't be able to have one for a long time afterwards

Not a difficult concept really

Your parent logic is not welcomed around here. We still playing with skylines.

f**k off dad

I mean the generation 0-40

Though I think it's a societal shift brought on by technological change and cheaper material goods rather than isolated to one generation

Even my 59 year old mother can't wait for the next iPhone...had to get a 6S to replace her worn out 6...from 12 month ago.[/quote

Depending how much use ya iPhone gets they really do only last 12 months in my experience but I'd be in the highest use category no doubt

Watched a 4 corners thing on property in Sydney, Chinese money and corruption. Was interesting. Chinese real estate agent with average English selling 32mil and $40mil homes... Then the houses get knocked down and rebuilt. Good times. Who needs money anyway

I doubt foreigners buying 32 million dollar properties is impacting on anyone in this country

It takes a hot meal off a struggling families table.

Jks.

It was impacting the real estate agent. She was driving a new Bentley.

It was saying how in some cases corruption money was being funneled or used to help fund entire apartment buildings but because the money comes from offshore accounts there's nothing anybody can do. One of the examples was a large apartment building which sold 100% off the plan after 8 months of being for sale. Construction had barely started

when they get knocked down and turned into 100 inner city apartments all sold to chinese investors at inflated prices it does.

Construction never starts until a set point of sales the banks won't release finance.

Well it's providing rentals for many ham and a lot of buildings have a capped % that can be sold offshore

But you know facts and a good story don't always go hand in hand

I dont understand why you think the Chinese aren't affecting the house prices though Alex? Come sell some houses in the South East, particularly Box Hill and now venturing out into Burwood and surrounding suburbs. You're looking at over 1 million dollars for lots of sub-par houses.

That's just what the market needs, more rentals and less affordable housing

This will ensure a sustainable future and the financial security of many well into fheir retirement

Didn't say it's making zero impact but the media are create a half story, in sure your aware all those established properties are 100% off limits to foreigners right? So ok they look Chinese perhaps they are perhaps second generation but they are citizens as entitled to buy as you and I.

Also Did u see there are other nations buying more than the Chinese? Nobody minds the Americans?

The fact is the young generations don't want to sacrifice or compromise and not to mention the woeful work ethic so the reality is a generation of renters whether we like it or not

Bayswater and Ferntree Gully now - Bayswater is going to be the next Chinese super city

There's a preschool in Boronia, now with a huge sign out the front saying "we teach Mandarin" lol

Even if this sweeping generalisation is true, what chance are you giving them with such an inflated market?

I'm not a housing bubble person, but we reputably have some of the most expensive housing in the world...that's a huge title to have. Set to get worse given it's not just Australia's population eyeing the market.

    • When's the rear mounted turbo kit coming? Needs dose and V8 chop idle lol.
    • I was very unimpressed with how the car came up from the A pillar forward, before I hit things (twice). It all has to go. It had to go, but now it has to go... more. So we finally found the very first Shennanigans with the entirely perfectly setup engine that had no problems being pulled apart to improve on 'was perfectly fine'. Cam bearings looked a bit... stock. Which isn't entirely bad given they were stock and this is a ~20 year old engine. So new cam bearings are on the way because it's somewhat difficult to get to this stage to do it later, and it will trash the block. It was quite unusual that it wasn't done when the perfectly new-looking VCM cam was originally installed by [unknown] What IS unusual is the cam that was installed there was advanced SIX degrees. As to why there is no way to know.. however it could have been @Dose Pipe Sutututu's mate who wanted a larger cam sound but also wanted it to come on earlier to be more usable. This is my dyno sheet with the previous setup - This cam is not supposed to peak until 7000+ RPM, according to VCM. This is what lead me down the whole 'my heads/intake setup is running out of puff and can't support the cam' line of thinking to begin with. Anyway too late now - New cam is in! It could be rather funny if this smaller cam acts like a larger cam because it isn't advanced six degrees. In the spirit of everything is working amazingly - the COMP cam required no dialling in whatsoever. It was about 0.5 degrees advanced, which seems pretty bang on. Any adjustment either way would be further out. In the spirit of everything was previously working amazingly - The timing gear that was taken out turned out to be was an N-Motion double timing chain kit, with adjustable cam gear (which is how it was 6 degrees advanced) and all looks entirely perfectly new. It also had a Torrington bearing, which was one of the reasons I ended up getting the Cloyes kit which they used in the C5R 24 hour racecar - Because I couldn't confirm what was in the engine when talking to Tony Mamo. I did believe however it was a Double chain kit of some kind... but found no supporting documentation or evidence for it.
    • I recently did this to my R33 with the full set from Car Mats Direct, they can't do the vinyl anymore that's advertised on the website due to a supplier issue so I ended up with the Black Loop Pile which looks great. I went all out with rubber sound deadening sheets from Repco and also added the sound deadening foam layer option with the carpet. Makes a world of difference and got rid of all the weird smells in the 29 year old interior. It was a bit of work but I'd 100% recommend it, Car Mats Direct had awesome customer service and quick postage. Replaced my seats with some sporty ones from Autotechnia while I was at it, feels like a new car.
    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
