Well thers one particular guy at work who constantly calls me a hoon.. And when I showed him a pic of my car hes goes "Shit.. that exhaust would be loud" I'm like... err no.

He kept going on about it (he had the $16000 machine) so I said "For **** sake, pick up taht stupid machine, come with me and we will test it" he goes "ok"

So off we went (undercover carpark I might add so it was resinating off the walls) and he tested it.

Then he goes "Ok.. maybe its not loud" I said "I'll accept your apology shall I?"

Oh.. Hi Paul... (i think his name is :D)

I just got a phone call from one of the places I sent my resume too.. I got a job interview tomorrow :( Hooray.. A diesel supplies place. I should fit in really well :) Wear my stubbies and double pluggers. SHe'll be right mate!

Uhm. I work near the personnel area. They just whinge and bitch about each other all the time. I just sit and listen and laugh.

In my area, I'm the lowest ranking (AO2) I get along really easily with them. They are all AO6 - SO1, so they are all mature and don't bitch. We swear, muck around, joke. It's awesome. I love them but unfortunately I"m only temporary so I *NEED* a permanent job to keep my car.

I don't give a shit about other bills. Just my car :D

Whats a car dealership like?

I don't really want to go into a real estate type area.

I really want to work somewhere with cars. Either a car dealership :D or a mechanics or distributor. Anything to do with cars.

But, because I've only had public service experience where I dont know much of the dealings of a private firm, no one wants to give me a job.

Are you having major reforms in your public service jobs over there like we are here??

i used to do fleet management for the govt! now that was a Sweet job :D love fleet management! but with the merger the position no longer existed and i got shifted to a different one that im not enjoying!

Haha.. I'm only employed till the 30th of June too... Our area isn't included atm. Only personnel and finance. It sucks hey. But for someone in my position (and i suppose yours too) I look at it like for 1) they still have a job. 2) they have more opportunities and 3) its a great way to meet more people and network. I really don't see why people are going home crying everynight and going out on stress leave. Is this the situation over there too??

I just want a job. If they want to leave and get out, I"ll have there job.

Maybe we should start up some type of Female Skyline pimp business :D

Michael, I have a job and 2 and a half years experience to go with it and I still can't get a job. And I work for the government (particularly with all the security requirements).

I said to my boss at the moment at work "****en hell, I've got a job and experience and I still can't get a friggen job"

Most of the time I think it's because I am employed atm and the company can't be bothered going through the whole waiting period for me to leave my current employment and start there.

yours gets scanned erin? hmmm i know we've got systems in place we're allowed the net and email for ltd personal useage but with some of the stuff the IT guys send me - they would be fired if it got scanned!

Yeah people stress here too - hehe one girl gets blood noses - ok not funny for her but its such a wussy thing ot have!

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
