Man, am I going to be busy next week. :mad:

I've got 4 CAD projects to start and complete ... a Locality Survey for ETSA to draw up in CAD ... not to mention a MYOB Audit and new file creation in preparation for the new financial year ... then there's the EOY tax time shit and bonus calculations to work out for our consultants! :P And I'm squeezing in a trip interstate soon. :thumbsup:

Good thing they pay me well ... I'll need alot of booze to get thru the week!

Heh u should work for me ;) I got 1000 odd things on aswell. Always complicated that Im a subcontractor for a national company who subcontracts for another multinational. We got monkeys in india always stuffing things up, more sub divisions than worth counting. Im doing security audits, decomissioning/recomissioning rack units, servers, domain controllers, fixing blackberries, laptops, desktops, doing tape backups with a pool of 100 terabytes (700 odd tapes in the pool), fixing obscure softwares with their support team in india (eurgh) as well as replacing all the printer drivers on 3 sites (not including stuff at Olympic dam.)

Oh the JOYS of subcontracting :D

Got in early at work this morning. Locked my office door and put up a 'f**k off' sign (read: do not disturb).

Got alot of the workload for the day out of the way so far. :) Had a meeting this morning which I cancelled. Got no time to talk to clients or the business owners ... they can wait until I'm ready :)

Sadly there arent really any entry level jobs in the mines. They usually recruit from all over the world and get the best people for the job ;\ If you got a degree in ore refinery, mining, OH&S or anything like that, theyd probably look at ya. In any case if u guys want a job at the mines, check seek.com.au cause thats where all the jobs get advertised.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
