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!!!

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
