That's what all <30 single home loaners say... They preach the work-hard-young-to-enjoy-investments-later but they all come around eventually...

(Unless they have trust funds to milk)

Apparently I can't offset my home loan in cos I've got 3 years fixed? (well can but gotta pay like $1500 to change loan type) But I can put upto 10k a year ontop of what I'm already paying for those 3 years.. so should i just sink everything into it that I can and withdraw if I need it down the track?

I'm in 2 minds about the whole pay home loan off quick or have a life / travel, do shit, buy shit instead :P or maybe I just need to find a good balance.

Comes down to where you want to end up.

If you are happy with owning 1 house which can be repaid working in a comfortable job I say enjoy the extra money on what makes you happy.

If you are working hard within a job which is unsustainable, you would want to pay off home as much as you can so you can refinance to a more comfortable level in the future.

If you want to grow your property portfolio, start saving for a deposit for the next place.

Although I'm not sure if property investment as an individual is worth it anymore....

With all these apartments popping up funded by developers and millionaires skewed towards negative gearing I can foresee more supply than demand for rental properties.

This man knows what he's on about. Not to mention once you have paid off an investment property the amount of tax the government rapes you for and paying shit like rates, insurance and water for some tenant who is happily ruining your property. The only way you're making anything is through capital gains and oh, wait there's a friggen tax for that too. Whether you pay off the loan slowly and save on tax or go the other way and pay off quick to save interest, someone is making money off you. Bank or government. Property investment is over rated. Buy a home to live in. Pay it off and then enjoy life and spending money on shit that makes you happy.

Incorrect...

The trust that owns the property uses the losses carried forward from the previous financial year(s) to offset the GCT event doesn't it? :P

If there is enough losses to offset the gain then it couldn't have been such a great investment.

If you have an online redraw facility then you might as well reduce interest by paying it down.

Exactly, just put as much money as you can into the home loan, knowing you can redraw if necessary. The quicker you pay your home loan the more money you save!!! Especially in the first few years of the loan try to put as much as you can into it, so you start paying off more principal. Well that's what I did anyway :)

Dezz's new jetski matches his shoes.... which is a pity as you don't wear shoes while jetskiing

its not how you ride your jetski, its how you stand next to it at the petrol station. you better learn that.

Never been on a jetski, sure it'd be fun but I'd never use it.. barely use my motorbikes and they go on the ROAD!

On another note, what's the normal rise when getting promoted? keeping in mind it's still similar area of work etc.

    • 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.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
