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.

Bus driver for the State transit Authority...may not be the glitziest career, but its pretty relaxing and a fantastic perve as well...just think all those gorgeous city office girls I get to check out...of course the job has its moments ( like any job I guess )....but overall I enjoy what I do.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
