hey just thought id start the same thread as the one in NSW. I know its copying, lol but it seems like a good idea and a good way to network. And it gives a headsup to students at Uni or tafe and what they can expect in a particular industry.

Well im a second year Uni student, doing a double major in Accounting and Economics at Monash Berwick. Still not sure whether Accounting would be challenging or boring as everyone says lol. If there are any Accountants on here give me an insight in your typical day. Cheers

lol where bouts in dandy sth... hammond road? im in sth too. Im doing my Eco subjects this year and accounting ones next year, and im doing pretty good.. but yeh not everyone that goes to uni is smart.. i realised that this year. caus they could have gone to tafe, got people to do all their assignments and then transfer to uni.. but you cant do that at uni caus most subjects have exams with 70% of your total mark... anyway a bit of topic but jst an insight lol.

I sell fibre optic cable, accessories, rack cabinets, etc. Basically I sell anything to do with fibre optics (the data type, not the decorative lighting type.)

I started uni back in '03 and realised it was a waste of time for me so I got straight into work. I was always going to end up with a job in IT/Telecommunications.

my friend is currently studying telecommunications enigneering and needs to do Vacational work experience. Would your company be interested? PM us :ermm:

The networking has already begun!111 :whistling:

Im studying Industrial Engineering & Engineering Management at Monash Clayton.

Will be looking for vac work this year, so if any business looking for lean manufacturing, six sigma, performance rating etc send us a PM :blush:

Work for Tru Energy connecting gas and elec. Studied IT though but hard to get a job in that area. Worked full time as a comp tech before and do "backyard" jobs whenever I can. Just hard to get a decent paying job in the area. Studied Network Engineering.

I am an accountant and it isnt too boring but like any job it does have its moments.

I worked in tax for several years and it is the hardest and least paying area of the profession. Try to get into working for a big 4 firm in financial reporting or even auditing. THis will give you a good background to work for a larger company in commerce and away from public practice. Time sheets and shitty clients will bother you.

Working in commerce generally pays a lot more and is more rewarding IMO than public practice.

First few years out of uni suck but once you a qualified CPA or CA and gain a further 5 years plus experience you will not work for less than $100k.

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
