Pannawonica (200ks south of Karratha) & about 50ks south of Fitzroy Crossing are 2 places that spring to mind :) Not any more though because I got back into my trade where soon I will be earning similar money anyway

That's cool Ryan.. do they pay their drafties well? need another drafty? sounds a lot more interesting than conceptual mine/stockyard/port layouts.. probably doesn't pay as well though O_o

I had a lot more fun working for the automotive R&D company but the money just didn't compare with mining/resources.

lol, not sure what they pay the drafties. Don't know if they're looking for another one. Haven't heard anything at the moment anyway. If you like, you can have a look at their web site and get an idea of what they do. No harm in dropping in a CV if you're keen.

The web site is www.imp.co.za They haven't got the full Australian site up an running yet, so this one will be more informative.

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.

      No. Only for a standard ECU with/without Nistune. Standalone has no need for it. That's like the 3rd time I've said so.   And as to that sensor linked - yes, it does look like it would be the right one. I've never bothered to see how available they were - just assumed that they'd be hard to find. I think I'd be planning to go Link ECU rather than buy sensors I don't actually want to make Nistune work, if I did not already have Nistune. As you do not already have Nistune, you should realy consider your options.
