anything to do with domestic....pretty much...but if the job is to big then i sorta dont wanna touch it as i cant really do the job all week...i gotta still do my apprentiship:P

Of course you know and have been told by your staff at trade school that if you are caught doing any UNLICENSED plumbing by the P.I.C., your apprenticeship will immediately be terminated.

as Reece's motto goes 'Dont risk it, Use a Licensed Plumber'.

Im a third year and wouldnt risk my years of crappy pay only to have it all thrown away for nothing.

Its ok if your boss signs a cert of compliance dude, but im pretty sure any job over $500 (incld materials) must have a cert of compliance. also any jobs regarding sewer, gas or roofing regardless of their $$ value MUSt have a Certificate of compliance. Ask your boss nicely and im sure he will sign you off mate :yes:

would just hate to see a skyline driver lose his apprenticeship. i drive 2 skylines and believe me 90% of my wage goes towards them. servicing, rego, insurance etc.

I'm a fully qualified Electrician and I get the exact same thing. I'm forever having people ask me to do some odd jobs around their house, but for the risk of my license, it's simply not worth it.

Plus, I do enough electrical work during work hours, I don't want to waste my weekend doing it too :nyaanyaa:

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      By f00stx · Posted

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.

      I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
