IT is a great industry for work and salary especially in Canberra, it has been great for me. Yes, most of us would love to be passionate about what they do (a few are lucky to be paid to do what we are passionate about but most aren't). I mean who wouldn't want to be a highly paid professional racing driver or some other highly paid sports star with the associated benifits??? Unfortunately the hard reality is that most of us will never achieve this in our chosen profession. The important thing is that we get some job satisfaction and enough $$$'s to be able to live a quality life and don't forget the friends we make along the way.

BTW I am a IT systems engineer.

Next career. Maybe something in the Financial Services sector. Dream job? some highly paid sports star with heaps of beautiful groupies woman chasing me :domokun:

I'm an IT Project Officer for Dept. Industry, Tourism & Resources.

In my position I've got to be whatever they need me to be regarding IT. My main work centers around web design & development with a fair bit of database design as well, and Access/VB(A) programming.

I co-manage the website for the Australian Building Codes Board (The current site is prehistoric and sucks arse, hence we're making a new one at the moment).

The rest of my stuff is IT equipment work, specialist hardware/software setup for our branch that isn't covered by the department's service desk.

I'm a jack of all trades if you will.

I like my job because of the opportunities that I'm given, I get to do training whenever I ask for it (more or less) and I work in a pretty good team.

I suppose the downside (if you could call it that) is that because I'm a pube I won't get the $$$ that working in the private industry will get me but the security of a permanent public service position is something I really like.

And I'm about to start doing a bit of website/database work on the side as well.

I sell rock cocaine to school kids that own computers, and who use the "wikipedia, flickr and myspace"

Does that count?

jokes, im a java programmer who sips Pepsi Max, munching on caffeine tabs, sitting in front of 4 24" LCD monitors, backed by $30k worth of server hardware, and hack satellites in my spare time

jokes, im the creator of spam and want your ebay account details

Serious jokes, im a TSO geek, that does a little bit of everything in the small to medium business i work with.

I don't really care what i do, i just wanna make the $$ to pay for my cars, friends and fun...

(this has been written while jaded and looking for another job)

I scan products in front of a red laser and a currency pops up in front of me. I repeat this step until completion.

I'd rather be passionate about something and following whatever that may be.

Lol, I didn't realise you were a IT project officer. You know you guys probably create more work problems for others HAHAHA(not for me, some other IT Project teams do that).

Me, I'm the one who sits on the phone pretending to know these new projects, and try to fix them.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
