Hey guys,

I'm sick of my maccas job, and I need something different. After working for such a big company for so long, I want to find a job at a small place where they will treat me like a person, and not a number.

I can work from 5-5:30 (earlier if I dont need to have a shower before hand, I'm an apprentice mechanic) to about 9:30-10 Sunday-Thursday, 5-5:30 to when ever on Friday, and all day saturday.

Any ideas guys? I REALLY need a new casual job!!

Rhys

try serching catering companys in perth......... most are very understaffed and offer work on sundays which pays usually 20+ an hr and alot will do it in cash....which means no tax man ripping ya off which= more $ for the line.......

^ +1 for dodgy asian style cash jobs too...

seriously man look into retail but the thing is they don't offer after hour kinda shifts, umm... heard like night shift guys get alright money at like COLES/KMART and those alike, give them a shot...

my mates used to work late nights at KMART in year 11/12... bought their first cars with that cash

haha like the dodgy asian idea as well :P

n bit off topic but isn't that a uras kit on pottsy's 34 andrew??

rhys try askin woolies? i heard they pay like 17 an hr n some even said they get 20 an hr :(

but if u wanna stand there all day hearin the beep why not?

lol, are you trying to shut down my ego Leo?

he has a nice URAS kit that's painted with no scratches...

my car is going to AutoSalon next year, hope so anyway... wait and see...

and by they way Rhys, i have HEAPS of family that have work for you, the pay probably isn't as good as Maccas though and not as close as it is to your house...

and the work won't require for you to have a shower beforehand... might be preferred though, let me know if you're interested anyway

ANDREW!!! STOP WHORING UP MY THREAD!!! :P

Leo, dont your not helping either...

Kylie, I looking into that job, but it looks like its mainly during the day? Thanks anyway.

Andrew, any more details? Like I said, I'd prefer to work in a small place.

I have 2 jobs atm, my apprentiship is at a small workshop, and maccas. I get treated MUCH better at the small shop, then the larger money making business.

Cheers for the replies guys, I'll look into it

i used to work at the iga distribution ware house (same as the coles job kylie posted)

its good pay but boring a hell, basically you get given a forklift and a head set, and it tells you how many boxes of something to stack on a pallet

then you wrap it up in gladwrap and dump in in a truck

its a repetitive cycle that makes you go insane thats why they pay you well for it :P

I work this job(the coles one), we don't have headsets, just labels... headsets are coming in at the new dc which Im not going to till septemberish.

There are different roles, what Karl described is what the pleb pickers do....

Like I said last time RHys, those rates are base rate, grocery has incentive on top.

Im doing Ok compared to other guys on the fork, but still get an extra $300 a week cause I do my job properly and don't bludge.

if your lucky enough to get the shifts you want i know that Bunnings pays very well about 2-4 bucks extra an hour than youd earn at any supermarket store ie coles. Also theyre open sundays obviously so you have more room for extra shifts if you want.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
