half my good friends have all left to go and work on mine's mostly kalgooly(i think thats the spelling) adn olympic dam. the advice i was give from a couple of them were. save as much cash as you possible can and take a trip to these places. in kalgooly a mate of mine applyed for 5 jobs before lunch apparently and had 3 call back in the after noon, and a 4th from a company he didnt know about.

I may be able to to a contact or too from a mate thats just got back today from roxby,

If you dont want to travel that far away... you may want to get in contact with Australian Zircon..... They are building a brand new mine not to far out of Murray Bridge, i see it everytime i go to Adelaide.... im sure they would be hiring soon and you can still cruise back to the city easy....

i posted my reply on ns.com but i'll post here too. I go there once every 3 months for work and its defintiely a thing i'd do if i didn't have a family, if your single then go for it! I've got about 5 mates up there at the moment all pulling 130k per year, have been offered 3 jobs making this sort of money but its just not worth it in my situation!

I'll pm u my contacts i have up there.

is it something u can do if u dont have any qualifications?

u can but its a lot harder to get someone to give u a go, its not like it used to be where they will just take anyone on. It costs them a bit to hire someone nowadays so they wanna get there moneys worth!

If you are condisering mines you should also consider onshore rigs (mostly oil and gas here). FIFO, ususally 2-2 rosters i think. Some of the contractors are Ensign and PDI. I did some engineering work over summer with an oil and gas company based in town and went out to the rigs SA/QLD. Looks ok. Have you thought about FIFO from mines in WA? Thats worth a look too.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
