has anyone applied for this one yet? I know Patrick and I applied for the Soft Eng position, but haven't seen anyone saying that they're applying for this one.

They also have a dyno in the building :)

I'm fixing up resume now.

Might give it a go. But i'm not moving for less than 70k.

Congrats to Patrick if he did get it :rofl: D'oh for me though lol, I thought my experience would let me down, another 6-12 months I should have the required C++ experience, but doesn't help right now :) I guess I should be expecting a commiseration call :woot:

Yeah, after three interviews I got a letter of offer today, starting there on the 31st of this month.

The gtr is in for some tough times now i think :nyaanyaa:

Best of luck with other jobs Justin, apparently they had between 50 and 100 applicants for this position. Honestly i'm surprised i got the offer.

Congrats :rofl:

I'll probably stay where I am for now and try to get my C++ experience up over the next 6-12 months. Of course I'd hope to get an inside word on any other positions opening there :O

They said in the interview that most people got the number wrong during the test, so I can at least take heart that I got it right :nyaanyaa:

Yeah that thing was easy, felt like I was back at uni again.. they did a few nasty things though, for example

Class c

{

public:

c(int x, int y) : mx(x), my(x) {}

private:

int mx;

int my;

};

(both 'mx' and 'my' are initialised with the constructor parameter 'x', 'y' is unused)

Once they got onto asking me about design patterns things got a bit more interesting >_<

yeah there were a few traps for the unwary, usually with not using y when you expect them to etc.

My design patterns knowledge sucks :( Uni never covered them, and I haven't had to use any, I could name a singleton though >_<

More study required! I think I may have to do some more personal projects to help, does the world need more Consult software? :(

There was an awesome job for Bosch advertised last year where you design new ABS, stability control and traction control systems and get to travel to places like iceland, germany (nurberg ring) etc and actually test the systems out in different conditions. Needed alot of C++ knowledge also. Dream job

Haha, though the thread title says otherwise, the position Patrick got was the Software Engineer position.

I heard someone went for the Sys Admin position and didn't like the number

Here's a reply to my email qn to them re:$$$...

Hello

Re: your query on salary range for the Systems Administrator position we have available, we don’t put a set salary on our positions available; we have a range, dependant on skills & experience, and work around that basis with the successful applicant.

If you would like to let us know the salary you are seeking, we can advise if this falls into the range we are able to offer

Regards

mmm.. It's definitely beer time, last day of bloody sinus medication today, bring on the weekend!

As far as the $ is concerned, it's competitive with the rest of the market, this rate is for a 6 month trial contract. I think there's a possible re-negotiation at the end of that.

    • Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.
    • Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).  
    • There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.
    • The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
    • Gee she looks a bit rear heavy in that first pic! Sounds like a great project with the kids, but as I guess you know R series stuff is getting hard to find and pre that is pretty much impossible these days
