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.

    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
    • LOL well, lucky mine doesn't have some R shit on it. Around town, it handles so much better than the R33, R33 in the wet is pretty dangerous to the untrained hoon, especially with 13kg/mm front springs.
