Hi guys, sorry to pester you but i have posted a small note in the wasteland section regarding my plans to move to australia and seeing as it looks like i will be staying at a pad owned by my partners in-laws, i thought i wuld drop you all a note in the area. Not a sponger, just til i find my feet then move into my own place with the better half.

I am looking for contacts in the comms world or any agencies you could suggest. I currently work for Shell IT on the oil rigs and gas plants in Scotland looking after all aspects of comms from data/voice to marine radio, LOS and at comms along with PA systems etc. I have also built a radio and tv station in Bosnia when i was serving with the Royal signals.

Dont expect anyone here to offer me a job however if anyone has any info regarding contacts etc i would be most appreciative. Christ, i will even pull cables just to get my foot in the oor or work in an IT support dept or something!! :(

Thanking you in advance for any help plus hopefully meet up with some of you in the not too distant future as i wont be taking the cr with me..........but will certainly buy in Australia if everything goes to plan :D :D

it jobs are somewhat hard to get hold of in aus i believe

seems everyone goes through school and uni wanting to work in IT and then theres too many people for the number of jobs,

ur experience would help you greatly id say.

there are a couple of job search sites for employment in aust that you could try

ill get the links and post em in here when i find em, they are writtin down round here somewhere.

any help appreciated. As i said, i really dont want to work on the `IT` side and would prefer hands on telecomms in a maintenance or installation role.

No, not taking the 32, its just not financially feasable or possible, hoping to pick up a new car once i`m setled.

Yes, not interested in programming.

Installs, commisioning , maintenance, anything to get my hands dirty although i can configure routers,mux and PABX. Beggers cant be choosers i know but no point in being stuck in an office as netwrok tech when i would have no intensions of staying , if you know what i mean.

Will speak with the missus and get back to you. What have you in mind, a project you are involved with or something?? Cat5 /fibre , no problem .etc etc.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • 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?
