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.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
