  1. Well, there are quite a few old school engineers who are there due their experience. My boss at the moment used to be a sparky. It is only the ones that are 40 and younger who would almost always have an engineering degree. Although there is also a guy that used to be a sparky and is now the electrical engineer on our team. So what I am saying is, experience is everything and then who you kno would be the next best thing. So I think the best option for you to try and get on that list is to actually talk to them and ask them how they got there. btw, contrary to popular beliefs that UWA grads are the cream of the crop. Unfortunately most of them have poorer practical and people skills than the guys at curtin. Whatever you do, don't do electrical if you want easiest path to the best paying positions, like project manager/director etc.
  2. Man this guy is awesome, I've been treated with a couple of funny threads!! Seriously though, what do you do when people are so stubborn, over defensive and so self righteous and sound like a prick to people trying to help him? What do you do with answers like " I already know" or " no you are wrong" when they are the one asking for help? Some established fact: He loved the Mine's ecu and advocated others not to go the ecu+tuner option in his other threads/posts, he even had guys thanking him for providing such a good(cheap, they are cheap for a reason) option. He has now come around and realised that the ecu+tuner is a better option. This happened after ~4 pages in this thread. In the mean time, ppl tried to help him even though they obviously have no obligation to do in the first place. He shot them down when he was meant to be grateful, courteous and show people respect. I think you could benefit from learning some manners when you are asking people to help you, have an open mind otherwise you will never learn anything fast.
  3. Ok, My suggestions are as follows since learning doesn't seem to be a part of your stunning repertoire: 1. Use 400 dollars and buy some crack, at least you will be happy when old granny's in civic gli's are frantically raping their horns to get you out of their way 2. Buy a Donkey, ram your exhaust pipe into the rear end, and watch it race your NA GTR, it would make a hell of a lot louder noise too. priceless! 3. Give me the money, I would like the entire Nagisa Auto catalogue for my GTR, pretty please? 4. Invest in zimbabwe, your money would double up within a week in their currency which would then become less than an 8 pack of toilet paper rolls in Australia 5. Strip naked in front of a mental institute and do a lil dance, they'll take you in and give you some happy shots. Similar to number 1 and it's free!! 6. Similar to number 5, strip naked with a group of people boosted by the power of viagra of which are all too eager to bat for the other team. They'll do you like the granny's in their civic gli's 7. I can't think of anything else but I think you are a natural comedian, I'll give you my recyclable bottles to watch you perform your NA conversion, and do all of the above. 8. Cut your balls off! Then if you ever get lucky with someone of equal intellectual capacity, stitch them back on and be a super cool limp dck. She would be so impressed that she might even kick it to see what happens. So, are you sure you really want to go down this path?
  4. because normally its the other way around, people's r32 boxes die and the cheapest option is to find the newest r33 gearbox possible to fit into their car. try searching for r33 gtr in rwd mode or dyno The power of google and wikipedia "The R32 could be switched from AWD to RWD by removing the 4WD fuse, but R33 and R34 models had to have the front tailshaft removed, or the centre diff can be depressurised for 'towing mode' as specified in the owners manual." The point is, it isn't the gearbox that is responsible for the awd to rwd ability for the r32
  5. From everything I read on the forums, the r32 gear box is the same as the r33, the r33 is just a newer version. The R32 GTR can be run on rwd mode because there is no loading on the center shafts once the 4wd fuse is pulled out. This is not true for the r33 or r34 due to their upgraded 4wd system, sorry I don't know exact details here but it has been covered plenty of times before. Use the search function or google if you want more detail. Thus, people drop the center shafts for an r33 gtr to run in rwd mode during dyno applications.
  6. Well, my only experience with Nengun didn't end well. I had ordered a Trust oil cooler/relocation kit and after two months, his excuse was Trust has gone bust and is no longer in operation and proceeded to refund the money in yen without even asking for my opinions on the matter. During this time, the currency rate had changed by 12% so it was pretty much like playing with stocks, only I had neither parts or money with me and making a lost of 180 dollars. So yes, that guy at Nengun can be seriously shady.
  7. CPE is harder to get but the unfortunate thing is that the whole scheme is set up by pen pushers. The whole sustainability and environment crap has nothing to do with the engineers apart from following standards or client's requirements. So unless you are part of an owner/operator company or a specialised environmental engineer (HSE) of sorts, you would not be making any sustainability or management decisions within the first few years of your profession. In addition, they tell you it is meant to be a summary of things you have achieved and then once you've handed it in, they expect you to describe in details down to the software you are using to do a Fkn spreadsheet. btw, none of the team of engineers (20 of them) that I am working with right now on BHP expansion projects has CPE. Last but not least, you need 52 hrs of training per year for at least 3 years to get CPE... coincidentally you will find that the company will be rather reluctant to send you on training sessions costing them up to +3k per day.
  8. As quoted from the signatory document: "Signatories recognised by the Vehicle Safety & Standards Section will generally have demonstrable experience in the automotive industry and are members of one of the engineering organizations below: The Institution of Engineers, Australia (IE Aust), or The Society of Automotive Engineers, Australasia (SAE-A) - Automotive Signatory Group." I doubt CPE is enough and is a load of crap anyway.
  9. true, my bad. sounds interesting indeed.
  10. Hey mate, How about posting pictures of the car including the 4wd running gear that you are talking about?
  11. Looks like he stopped bothering to check or let people know what is going on. Haven't heard from him for nearly 2 months now
  12. please put me down for one as well. Cheers
  13. Hey, Can I get you to have a look at 6U9000BNR32219933? Cheers!
