What Do You Do 4 A Living?


Recommended Posts

I have three part time jobs:

1. Random odd jobs at a motormechanic, when I have time to go there in between uni

2. Making pizzas, and very occasionly doing deliveries

3. washing dishes at a resteraunt.

I'm also doing 1st year bach of mechanical engineering and business at Swinburne in Hawthorn.

do you drive past 'the hawthorn' at around 12:30 or so most mondays, as i am normally eating a parma and see a black 32 with stickers on it drive past....

I did a Bach of Eng (Robotics and Mechatronics) and Bach App Sci (Computer Science and Software engineering) for 6 years at swinny, worked part time as a software tester for the second half of my course, now have been a software engineer/developer for the last year and a half at a bio med company. Currently deciding what to do when my contract expires at the end of June, stay or go somewhere new

Ahh, the good ol' $10 parma and pot, they were good. I noticed the size of the parma go down over the years I was there though :D

do you like the course, its what i plan todo in 2008

i'm kinda disliking it now coz i'm struggling lol. alot of work, mostly theory and it's pretty hard (for me anyway).

but yeah first two years are in the city and they're pretty boring. mechanical/aerospace/automotive students are together in years 1 and 2.

years 3 and 4 are in bundoora campus and should be better coz we'll be doing more and bigger projects. 4th year there's the formula SAE project car which we'll be working on.

what makes it difficult, i know im going to suck with the maths, thats the only thing that shitted me in the course outline, everything else seemed very coold

Completed Year 12 in 2003 and absolutely had enough with school and studying so I didnt carry on to uni. That was back in perth

3/4 of 2004 Whilst back in Perth, I worked for a company called Austrahose, which is a Direct Importer/Supplier of Hose and Fittings (to the smaller hose+fitting shops and mining industry). I worked in Sales and service over there. Was good fun.

Being originally from Melbourne, I moved back over after getting a job.

Since September 2004, I work as a Full time Sales Consultant for Wurth Australia. Massive German company that is heavily involved in the Automotive/engineering industry. I look after the North Eastern suburbs (Cambpellfield,Fawkner, Reservoir, Thomastown, Epping, Lalor, Millpark, Preston etc) and really enjoy it. Im around cars almost all day, get to know plenty of good people, good customers in the panel and mechanical trade to work on my car etc. I look after some pretty cool customers as well,such as the FPR (ford perf racing) Supercar team, Prodrive, Monaro Performance, Rajab Racing, Promaz, Selectmaz, JPC etc.

I work for Just Car Insurance.

When I had finished yr 12 wanted to be a chopper pilot in the army, sorta want to live life a bit before big commitments.

In the last year my cousin has persuaded me to join the Police force, so in the next year it may be, I have my test in 2 months :laugh: .

I did that test. Seriously easy....if you know anything about maths or english(like adding up and spelling simple words) you'll be fine

Beef cattle farmer in the Yarra Valley, been doing it for the last 9 years now. :laugh:

Prior to that I worked in IT as well, last role was at Telstra managing the computer systems for a development group, I had a corner office on the 30th floor of a building that gave me sweeping views across the whole bay - I miss that office - do not miss Telstra though.

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
