im going for a max oversize hi flow now after further thought and recomendations. in fact ive recieved so many recomendations and others thoughts that it just isnt worth talking about it for another 2 weeks. im getting MTQ to get a rb25 max hiflow stage 3 wheel. any experiences with MTQ here in adelaide.?
Didnt I just say i am going to ATS and bill there is hooking me up with a sweet GT30R kit?

Are u sure u know what your talking about :(

Uni are still teching Ada and Sun systems.

Uni for IT is really a waste of time unless you want to work in defense. A 4 or 5 year course garanties everything you learnt in the first year is out of date by the time you have finished. It has applications later on for pure research but not a lot of use in day to day IT

Try getting any sort of decent job without any formal qualifications...it aint happnin. Sure u can score a job doing some sort of "IT" job, but higher paying decent jobs with a window to advancement require the Uni background.

The "out of date" stuff is up to the individual to keep themselves informed about whats new, and coming soon. No job could offer that either...

That’s why I said

For many people it’s more relevant and offers better employment and remuneration prospects to do the MSCE and CISCO units than a degree in ICT. (IMHO and many others)

Although a Uni degree in IT alone wont get you too far, but add a business management or similar degree and you have opened a whole lot of doors.

Guy,

There are quite a few opportunities for those graduating from Uni as I have been receiving for the last year ~35-40 I.T Graduate 'only' positions per month. Slack off and those jobs are out of reach as they require a credit average or better.

A lot are within the government but a fair share also from private.

Providing one pulls their weight the opportunitys are definitely there.

I think it stands for both tafe and uni..

You can't expect to get far without a piece of paper full stop.

The same goes for you can't expect to get far without experience full stop.

Combine the two with a little luck thrown in, and your bound to go places.

As with everything in life you only get out what you put in. >_<

+ Working within the government (where you need a piece of paper from Uni to get your foot in the door) has very nice perks.

Having a uni degree certainly won't hurt your chances of landing a job, or improving your abilities as an IT professional. I say if you get the chance to take up a CIS/IT degree then go for it. Even so, having said that, some of my colleagues do not have formal IT qualifications and similarly my manager only has an environmental science degree yet he's regarded as one of australia's leading developers in e-health. My predecessor from a long while back at my current position went on to found Internode - and i believe he had just engineering qualifications and was a sys admin for our department.

So i'd say most importantly If you have strong desire to learn and continually keep up to date with industry trends, you can get to where you want to be eventually.

Yes. :) Depends where you want to work. Help desk/sales (with the possibility of being stuck there) and slowly work your way up or make leaps and bounds by entering the workforce via graduate offers.

All the GPA really indicates is motivation.

Its difficult not to get good/reasonable grades at Uni UNLESS your just slack. Allthough it may be a different story within Engineering. I.T it comes down to motivation. :)

I find that when work is too easy I cannot do it. I get bored to easily. At school anyway... You need new shit to keep it challenging and interesting in IT... if you want examples I can give you about 1000000 of them.

With engineering you actually have to try to get good grades. Some of the subjects are pretty easy, eg programming and the computer ones I didn't even study for or go to lectures and got distinctions. Maths, Chemistry and Electronics I studied all damn year and only got credits.

I'm definitely not saying the work is easy I'm saying if you turn up to the lectures/tutes/workshops and do the home work and assignments required its almost impossible not to get a good grade.

Slack off and not turn up to lectures/tutes/workshops and try to get by doing just the assignments etc and most of the topics are difficult resulting in poor grades. ;)

Allthough providing you don't have issues getting your head around programming you don't really need to go to lectures etc. I've got distinctions by only doing assignments and an exams in the programming topics. :(

I didnt pass my SACE well, im too slack to go to tafe although im doing it this year and im lacking the motivation of the challenge. what do you suggest without giving me a lecture? Is SAIBT a way to go to further my studies, I'm lining up an online MCSE course I thought that woudl be a good idea?\

Yes i do work as an IT administrator only because of my abilities. not qualifications but i want the big money so i want to seek further study once more. i think im ready for it lol.

This looks better to me than upgrading to Vista fer my needs....

*waits tilll dx10 comes then does the inevitable jump fanboi ship

I think im gunna have to dual boot Ubuntu from now on. I need to format my pc now me thinks anyways, so might be the right time...

Ill run Xp for games only, and run everything i need through this GUI. That is untill i need to use something that only needs Xp again dammit...

Do i have to reformat to FAT32 instead of NTFS when i go for this dual boot idea???

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
