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.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
