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.

    • It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...
    • Connect all the plumbing up properly. The actual worst part about having the turbo unable to actually build boost, is you can and likely would over soon the turbo if you drove the car (free rev while stationary isnt likely to manage it).   If you do have an air leak as Duncan suggested, you'll have a bad time as the AFM will be saying different to reality.   As you have had the engine out, I'd go over all electrical connections again. If you have a consult cable, plug it in, and see what the ECU thinks is going on. Did you touch the timing belt? If so, double check your timing on the gears is correct AND put a timing light on it while it's idling and see what ignition setting you have. Is the AFM you've installed the one that was in the car previously? You said you replaced seals, what seals exactly? What have you had apart?   From memory when I had my RB25DET with factory throttle, there was two plugs the TPS plug on the loom could go to. One would leave the car running like shit, the other made it work, I think one plug on the TPS area was for something else (an option). It's too many years since I saw that part of the loom to remember properly though.   Is the car idling smooth (as smooth as an RB can)? Does it smell fuelled up?   I have a feeling either timing in timing belt is off, or a sensor isn't right.
    • Theres still skid pan and motokhana days up in QLD at least that are $100 or less. The ones that are ran as "driver training" less so, they're expensive, but just normal skid pan days like SAU ran are still low cost. And thats one of the places I learned to be a lariken, purely by asking for passenger rides, and how people were doing crazy things. Reese gave me plenty of pointers back in the day for skid pan! And yes Duncan, I will never forget your pointers for track work. Especially after Neil got out saying "I am NEVER getting in the car with him again!" 😛
    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
