lol after holding it in for awhile i got a confession to make

I work for Jetstar

Been in their customer call centre for about 3 months now and i tell you - they are a bunch of cheap skates. The only reason their airfares are so cheap is beacuse they have strict-ass policies on everything. No compassion or remorse for those flying due to death or family reasons. Its a bit of a hard job especially when ppl call up urgently needing to cancel/book flights due to deaths and we get told we can't help them. My first bit of advice given was to leave my heart at the door.

Also, i've never known of an airline that has so many schedule changes and cancellations with their flights.

These delays pale into insignificance to what I once endured.

Airr New Guinea isn't nown for reliability.

Delayed in Syd for 4 hrs, then delayed inn Brisbane for 3 days (no, that's not a typo) Plane was due to fly @ 6am on day 3. Arrived and was delayed until 18:30 that night!

We got owned!

Omurru your probably right bout the jstar asia 320s being the same age....

So where do you work? Qantas hangers? Im always down there hasselling engineers on when the planes are gonna be towed up to the gate!

Jetstar suck ass! was flying back from whitsundays to melb via brissie. we had a 3 hr stopover in brissie before boarding a qantas flight. but jetstar being the morons they are, we were 4 hrs late and missed the qantas flight. jetstar wouldnt pay for anything. no free food or drinks on the flight. no taxi vouchers at brissie, no hotel room for the night. nothing! PEOPLE, STAY AWAY FROM JETSTAR!

Qantas FTW!

last few months I have been working up at the terminal at qantas domestic. But as of tomorrow I am back to the workshops :P most of the time i'm in the main qantas 737 hangar though. The jetstar 320's get done by aaes or whatever the f**k it's called now, john holland or something. Went for a drive over there the other day to have a look around, it's like a boneyard over there random planes all over the joint missing bits :P

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
