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.

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
