hi. ive recently split with my partner and need a change. im currently earning about 45k working fulltime as an engineer in a hotel, but want to do something different.

anything really, but with similar or better pay. my current position has no room to move up through the company, so i need to move. Any industry but preferably not on the tools anymore, but i am used to being flat out everyday so i wouldnt mind at all depending on the work. I really would like to get a less physical kind of job tho and see where i can take it. maybe entry level but with room to grow quickly.

i have plumbing, carpentry, electrical, plastering, painting, interior design, lighting design, tiling, cabling etc etc skills. i build hotel rooms basically, as well as caring for the plant equipment etc. for a large sydney city hotel (300+ rooms, 2 restauraunts).

i have previous experience in window retrofitting with Sydney Windows, was a bike assembler, designed and built racks for an electroplating firm and a few otehr things. whatever i try i can do. Customer service is a given, i meet a lot of guests in the hotel and they are always pissed off when i enter and happy when i leave, as i can fix anything quickly while having a good conversation.

i was also a qualified pool lifeguard. i think my resus has expired but i still have bronze medallion and first aid.

also have uni-level chemistry, biology, engineering and mathematics education (3rd year arts/sciences, first year engineering) but quit for financial reasons, the plan was for me to work while my partner was at uni and then swap, but i guess that wont be happening now so im stuck working

any help is greatly appreciated. i realise i have few qualifications but i have a lot of experience in a lot of areas. i am a fun young man, who is happy to work hard. wish me luck.

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
