People who can't merge properly, can't change lanes properly, can't negotiate roundabouts properly, can't indicate properly, people on the freeway who can't do the speed limit, and people who don't in

what WGMG c**t employers that knock you back for a job because they find out that your dad bought you a car, they think you are a daddys boy,

thats just been stereotypical, the bitches dont know under what circumstances the car was bought under, and then when ya try and explain they question whether you are actually the age your drivers license and birth certificate say you are, judging a person by appearance....

then they call you and tell you to come in for a chat and they say you wernt qualified even tho they wernt looking for a qualified person at all....

THEN you find out the person they did hire for the job has an extensive criminal record, one of which time was from his previous employer

so i hope this business burns to the ground and they go bankrupt :whistling:

its a real kick in the teeth :P

i have pretty much have been said yes to a job over the phone by about 5 different employers now as they needed urgent staff with no qualifications needed, when they see me all of a sudden they look at you like a little kid and say they arnt hiring any more.... things can be tuff sometimes :)

rant over :)

I am sharing your pain - I finished my apprenticeship @ 19 and I looked like I was 16 and I had a really hard time for 3-4 years. Just take consolation from the fact that it will happen, you just have to wait a little while longer for your balls to drop (jks)

Besides, when you are 40 and only look 30, and you have 10 years more experience than other blokes (who look) your age, who will be laughing then?

lol high school and thats it, but obviously im not applying for jobs that require any specific qualifications, i put in applications for jobs that specifically say "no qualifications required" and "will train on job" etc

i quit working at "the boat" which was really sh*t hours, mayb 1 hour in morning and 1 hour in the afternoon lol

but at the moment im looking for anything possible, for example shelf stacking etc

lol maybe i should just apply for jobs that require 15 year olds or something lol and i wont say im 19 turning 20

I feel sorry for all you baby faced munchkins.. I've had a goatee since I was 15 which was great for buying alcohol with :thumbsup:

Sammie, I think you'll find that the people advertising these lame jobs with no skills required are probably looking for someone under the age of 18 that they don't have to pay adult wages to. Get a job pushing trolleys while doing a 6month CAD course at tafe then get a job drafting.. ask Dale, we make lots of money :D

yes, yes we do, especially if we are nasty money grubbing contractors

*does a happy dance*

most of my mates don't believe me when I tell them how much per hour we are getting, but to give you an idea, blokes with 10+ years experience have been getting offered $72 per hour lately.

I came into it from a trade background (best move I ever made was getting off the tools) but if you can find someone who offers traineeships then you will be set for life.

retiring at 50 FTW!!!

      Need to see other side of PCB in that area...ie; I don't see any thru-hole mounting, just soldered vias (smd zeners in SOT23 have 3 legs but only 2 are used, as reflected by PCB tracks)

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      4 to 5 is fine. It will be slow, but that's better than blowing turbos. I don't have a PS pump idle up solenoid on my car, because... I think when we put the Neo in we retained my R32 lines. But.... From inspecton of the R34 vacuum hose diagram, you can see that the solenoid needs to be connected to the turbo inlet as source of clean air) and the plenum (as source of vacuum - which is the place for the air to flow to to cause the idle to increase). So 3 to 1 is VERY WRONG. 3 should go to either the turbo inlet, or the plenum. Follow the other hose from the PS solenoid and if it goes to the plenum, then your 3 goes to 2 2 would also serve as a bleed port for a boost solenoid.

      Pull them out and pull more apart. You can't do shit with them still bolted to the floor of the car.

      Yes it is. ZD1 is on the other side of the board. Where ZD1 is marked is clearly opposite a 2 pin device. Our 3 pin device here is not a ZD.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Alright, a little update on this... I called Fulcrum, who used to be the distributor in Australia. No Bueno, they don't service them anymore.  Called shock works, who don't service them but offered to dyno the shocks for performance, and suggested DNA in Sydney might service them.  Called DNA, who also do not service them and basically said they try to steer customers away from tein for this exact reason these days- there is just no support for them anymore apparently.  Both SW and DNA said they are a not necessarily a bad product, but they just don't service the brand or know anyone who does service the brand anymore.  So... I could keep calling around but at this point I think I'll probably just spring for the shockworks product, unless anyone here knows anything.  Cheers 🍻
