Is The Mining Boom Making You Fly To Remote Places?


Recommended Posts

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

I live in karratha so im conastntly around red dirt, red rocks the green trees get red dust on them and then they look red, same with the grass and anything else. . . haha Its not as bad as everyone says. . .once you know people it can be an awesome place but there still isnt that much to do

Haha. Looks like there are a few people up in the northern parts. Where I am, food is ok, and people are pretty good. Just got to get used to the hot days now :laugh:

I'm a Mechatronic Engineer. At the moment, the project I'm working on is the commsioning of the biggest iron ore robotic laboratory in the world. It's pretty cool, but I don't like being in the middle of noware. :banana: I'm back in Perth now ;) for the moment.

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.

whim creek

its nearly the middle of no where, its 100ish km north of karratha, and 100ish south of headland, and 70km north of roe burn..

it gets boring being there for two weeks non stop as theres SFA to do, theres a pub, and a gym, thats all

Damn! Newman in the summer..and in a tent. Hard core. Mind you I have to get a searched by armed guards when I go outside the wire. I screw with them though " yes i have some gold secreted about my person - I dare your to find it" ...I guess it's what your used to

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
