Remember seeing ad's for a joint in the western suburbs looking for 2nd and 3rd yr app's but i can't for the life of me remember the name of the place, they specalised more in aussie drag cars than jap cars though.

Another option though (and what I do :down:) is doing an apprentiship with qantas. I used to be in the same boat as you, wanted to work on cars etc. but figured I could do that at home anyway, why not doing something different at work and had always had a keen intrest in airliners so deicded to do that and couldn't be happier!

It sounds like you have already started an auto app with someone and want to change though, best thing to do I would say is just send your resume around to everyone regardless and see what responses you get back.

thanks for the response bud, couldnt be more happier. I have started with Bayford Coburg, working with.. YES YOU GUESSED IT.. FORDS!! its pretty good i enjoy it and i am a pretty good worker when it comes to knuckeling down and getting the job done within a timeframe, but i want to go and do more high performance work and more stuff revolving around imported cars.. i want a challange. Not jus oil changes and services and stuff. But more around japanese high performance cars. Heck i have done all work on my r33 and havnt had a problem with it. Just the fact that i dont exactly have the money to let others do it and if i want the job done properly i would need to do it myself also i want more experience..

I think your best option would be to ring them yourself rather than try for second hand information from someone else

i just posted this because a member or owner of one of the workshops may be reading this, but i wanted to see what was out there anyhow. I will be calling them in the next few months. Where else should i try? JPC? Chasers?

Well i know G wont check (ICE)... cause he has no net @ work at the moment, and doesnt check SAU, being he'd have to do it through my PC here at home :)

It also looks far more professional if you take yourself and go face-to-face rather than hoping someone will see over a forum which really leaves a lot to be desired, and also can see "desperate" if you know what i mean!

Just my thoughts on the matter to help ya. :O

true, i will be ringing workshops and speaking to them. But going to like ICE performance just to speak to someone is a bit out of the way especially if the answer is no... just my opinion. But yeah i will be speaking to a number of different workshops when the time comes. And if they are further interested i will be visiting them to speak further.

thanks for all your advice. thanks heaps. Its true, if you can go out of your way just to shake their hand and ask about a position it will show commitment and determination. i will be 18 this year so i will be driving and i will make the effort to pop in to any workshop.

Oh shit you're from thomo!

haven't tried any of the local joints?

Also, i know what you mean driving to ice, i used to do deliveries near there and it was always a huge drive (then half hour stop at ice for a chat).

but yeah, going there 5 - 6 days a week, late hours at times i'm assuming, would not be the best

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road.

      Forced Performance Hta Turbos

      That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...

      Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
