Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

Tafe cert 3 is a waste, Ben and I had this discussion a few weeks ago,,, the IT market in Adelaide is saturated which drives the pay down, but hey if you want a job, EDS helpdesk will hire you... they will hire anyone with a heartbeat and can turn on a PC..lol

a few good jobs exist in IT, mostly working out on military projects in the dirty north.

too many kids will work in IT for 25k in this town..lol when before they would command 45k + which is still lousy pay for how much you have to know

Yeah it took me a long time to earn the wage I get now, and its all based upon actual skills (I'm not yet RHCE certified but close)... $35-45k jobs were all I was able to get up until a couple of years ago when I had some specific skills that were required (and my 15 years experience in the field).... EDS, CSC, etc are all big corps that pay a decent wage for their employees however it can be a bit like shooting yourself in the foot - you can get stuck doing mundane work without actually learning anything and thats where the problem lies - in IT you constantly have to be upskilling as the industry changes every few months (hardware, software, marketing directions, financial climate etc)... and it can change very very quickly.

If I was doing in Syd what I'm doing here, I'd probably be earning another $20k on top... that seems to be the general rule of thumb... only downer is Sydney is expensive and that extra $20k really negates itself in terms of lifestyle.. hopefully we start getting paid more as our cost of living increases but so far its been a bit disappointing.

Other thing with IT is that there are loads of people who say they deliver services, such as onsite companies and PC repair shops but the actually skilling is generally disapoointing. There are also a lot of dodgy people in the IT game that don't care about reputation or the quality of their work and they let it down for everyone. I've had the fortune to work at some great places (like my current employer) but sad to say at least half the places I've worked have left me very disappointed with their ethics, management or simply their procedures (or lack thereof)...

-D

EDIT : The only things that are defence related in IT are generally software development. DSTO is a client of ours and we look after their infrastructure and certain niche applications but the lions share of defence work is code.

the GKtech stuff is normally pretty good i have not really ever heard of any complaits on NS which is where Greg sells most of his stuff. Reason it look shitty on the inside is because it's welded on the inside, pretty much all the other dumps (Advance, CES) are only welded on the rear of the flange and not on the inside.

If you get your money back go and get an advance one piece, they are as good as CES IMO and they are in Adelaide.

      NC MX5

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
