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

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
