Hahaha dun i feel like a tool bag... come on give me a little break im newish to this scene!! if it isnt in Hot4s i dun know about it LMAO :banana:

there's re runs of the show on SBS, just check your tv guide.

Never too late to get into top gear. Good entertainment

back on topic...

I work for Nissan in new vehicle sales, It's in a large multi-franchise dealership so it's not like working at some dingy car yard.

Lots of perks such as brand new company cars, company supplied fuel card (life saver at the moment), lots of bonuses from nissan like gift cards and vouchers for doing what I'm paid to do already.

Turns out I'm pretty good at what I do so I'm making a killing and I've been where i am for almost 2 years now, I see lots of guys not even last a month.

Downsides is long work hours, have to work most weekends (just means I can't stay out as late as I used to), some people can be pushy or just d#ckheads, same story when I was working in retail so meh.

evens itself out in the end i guess.

It was all by chance for me lol,

my dad was buying a murano and I came along to keep him company, had a quick conversation with the manager and he invited me to an interview.

I entered the industry as a trainee which means you get stuck with all the bumb jobs and usually a probationary period (average 3 months)

I guess you could ring around and enquire about traineeships at dealerships near your area if you're not experienced in sales.

(I had previous sales experience working for telstra, so it helped a lot).

There were lots of times when I thought about quitting but I stuck to my guns and now it's paid off for me.

It helps if you are motivated about the product you're selling, I couldn't work for Kia lol.

Downsides are long work hours/weekends, but as I said before I was already used to that when I worked in retail.

Some customers act like @rseholes, but you get used to it and just becomes like water off a duck's back.

There are also lots of perks to the job, so you take the good with the bad i guess

If it's something you're passionate about doing and your personal situation allows you to try out a new career for a few months then go for it.

I'm turning 21 this year and I can afford to pay off (and maintain :P ) 2 cars and I'm saving up to buy a house by the middle of next year, nothing special but something to get me started.

More than I can say for most friends/people I know at my age :)

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.

      There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.

      Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
