Pays the bills. Still I'd love to get into banking

Haha first person i think ive ever heard say that. But good luck to you. Have you tried going through a job agency? i think there are acouple bankers on here.

I drink coffee think of crap to do email everyone I like have lunch put some more thought in to work.

then go home

Point to this is if you don't receive a email then either i am to busy thinking or i don't like you LOL.

That is what I do for a living.

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 :)

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
