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 A 4 or 5 year course garanties everything you learnt in the first year is out of date by the time you have finished.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The "out of date" stuff is up to the individual to keep themselves informed about whats new, and coming soon.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.

Just thought id show off by saying im posting this while im using a Ubuntu live cd...

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???

    • Have you not seen geospy.ai? It can now give GPS co ords to within a metre from a photo, even if it's a random photo you take inside. Supposedly at the moment only the government/law enforcement has access to that... Supposedly...
    • I've got the rear ones, they're certainly beefy. I need to take them to my driveshaft guru to check over, he's very fussy about the quality of components so I'll let you know if they are made of cheese by a blind man.   Are you in Australia? A mate just had a set of EN26 shafts made for his K20 Lotus by our fabricator which were quite cheap (compared to Driveshaft Shop) so if you can procure the CV's and draw what you need he'd make them for ~$800 for the pair.
    • Had I known the diff between R32 and R33 suspension I would have R33 suspension. That ship has sailed so I'm doing my best to replicate a drop spindle without spending $4k on a Billet one.
    • OEM suspension starts to bind as soon as the car gets away from stock height. I locked in the caster and camber before cutting off the kingpin. I then let the upright down in a natural (unbound) state before re-attaching it. Now it moves freely in bump and droop relative to the new ride height. My plan is to add GKTech arms before the car is finished so I can dial camber and caster further. It will be fine. This isn't rocket science. Caster looks good, camber is good, upper arm doesn't cause crazy gain and it is now closer to the stock angle and bump steer checks out. Send it.
    • Pay careful attention to the kinematics of that upper arm. The bloody things don't work properly even on a normal stock height R32. Nissan really screwed the pooch on that one. The fixes have included changing the hole locations on the bracket to change the angle of the inner pivot (which was fairly successful but usually makes it impossible to install or remove the arm without unbolting the bracket from the tower, which sucks) and various swivelling upper arm designs. ALL the swivelling upper arm designs that look like a capital I (with serifs) suck. All of them. Some of them are in fact terribly unsafe. Even the best one of them (the old UAS design) shat itself in short order on my car. The only upper arm that works as advertised and is pretty safe is the GKTech one. But it is high maintenance on a street car. I'm guessing that a 600HP car as (stupidly, IMO) low as you are going is not going to be a regular driver. So the maintenance issues on suspension parts are probably not going to be a problem. But you really must make sure that however your fairly drastically modded suspension ends up, that the upper arms swing through an arc that wants to keep the inner and outer bolts parallel. If the outer end travels through an arc that makes that end's bolt want to skew away from parallel with the inner bolt, you will build up enormous binding and compressing forces in the bushes, chew them out and hate life. The suspension compliance can actually be dominated by the bush binding, not the spring rate! It may be the case that even something like the GKTech arm won't work if your suspension kinematics become too weird, courtesy of all the cut and shut going on. Although you at least say there's no binding now, so maybe you're OK. Seeing as you're in the build phase, you could consider using R33/4 type upper arms (either that actual arm, OEM or aftermarket) or any similar wishbone designed to suit your available space, so alleviate the silliness of the R32 design. Then you can locate your inner pivots to provide the correct kinematics (camber gain on compression, etc).
