I'ev been bumming around SAU for awhile, anyways, its a great site, but lets get to the point, im currently studying in yr11, i wanna get my Vet auto completed (We start our Vet in yr10) and after this year, i was think of doing a apprenticeship, thats if i feel that school just doesnt cut it for me, im very devoted to cars, being part of my life, i guess i cant live wit out them. What im trying to say is that, is it posible that performance shops like CreatD, RaceLine motorsports and Ice Performance , in melb, me for apprenticeship. I know this sounds kinds dumb :D , but i wanna work with imports, not just your average family cars you know, doesnt intrest me as much as imports. I have a fair bit of knowledge, thanks to everyone in SAU, i try to read most of your post, and High Performance Import mags, and learn from your experiences. I just wanna know what you guys/girls reckon, is it possible to even get into working with performance shop, but more get an apprenticeship with them, My brother owns a Skyline GTS25T, so yes i'ev worked around imports before. :)

Don't take me for another fool, who just says they like imports because their cool, and wanna work wit them. Im very serious about this so yeah.

Feel free to comment, i wanna know what you reckon.

mate, sounds like you have a good attitude and that counts for a lot. If you can show dedication through background knowledge and a genuine interest to stick with it and put the hard yards in, you're probably in front of the pack already.

If you have a photo/work log of your Vet, take it allong as a kind of portfolio for your work. Use it as a prop to get them into a convo about possibly taking on an apprentice. Let them know what you are interseted in and where you see yourself after school.

good luck!

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
