I lived with a bloke up in North Queensland who worked out at the mines, brang home around $1600 in the hand a week, but its very long hours, very hard work and basically its a shitty lifestyle, but some people enjoy it, bloke was 22 and owned a XR8 Ute outright.

I just got accepted into the Military, excellent money there and you can go in at 17, and apply at 16 6 months. :sorcerer:

Like F@#k thou, no qualifications and ya pullin over 80grand, id be smart with my money thou, like now ive only worked for a bit over 1 year and have 3,000 in a 'Geard share fund' thats about half my income per year..

Id work in t he mines for a while and just invest in shares and property. (that is ofcourse after i get my R32 GTR) :no:

If i stuff up in the HSC and dont get into the gong uni, then ill defo go there.

Military aint really for me, the chances of gettig sent overseas is high i would think, i would rather be in a mine then killing people.

Each to their own about the Military.

But in the mines you can work shifts like 10 hours a day if not more, so be prepared for some really tough, and long work. But it can be rewarding when you give your hard earned cash to that man for his R32 GTR. :no:

If your in maintenance trades in airforce you fix stuff and generally leave the killing to the army infantry, sas etc. So it's ok, believe you me.

ahh yes true, i forgot about that side.

Cant wait, my 3cyl Daihatsu .9Ltr just isnt really doing anything for me atm... i guess theres a good side to it, no fines off the cops. Speeding really isnt an option :(

      ER34 AT ECU and HKS SLD pins

      Any chance you can get a Nistune board installed instead and set the speed limit to whatever your tires can handle?

      ER34 AT ECU and HKS SLD pins

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

      Slimline sub on the rear parcel shelf is doable. Pioneer TS-WX140DA is only 70mm high.

      Rear suspension upgrades

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.

      What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
