2. Thats the same style as my mate has in his boat. Fits without cutting. But not 100% sure if it will fit a 32 without cutting...

So if anyone remembers my discussion about Sarina Russo the other week and them making me do some course dealy... that started yesterday. It's a proper certificate qualification in customer contact. Honest to god... customer contact needs a certificate now to prove you can do it...

I miss the world before it went stupid.

So for FIVE WEEKS I have to go to Saria Russo and do this course, that I could easily do in a night if they let me take the book home. But oh noes! Can'ts take teh buks! Apparently it's all so hardcore copyrighted that it can't leave the room with you. So if you want to do revision of a night. Too bad. It's a threat to national security. Seriously... the way the lady described it was like they had an Enigma machine and didn't want anyone to crack the code!

The "teacher" is as smart as my left ass cheek, so that's already made for some interesting "debates". Her grammar is TERRIBLE. Example of yesterday's whiteboard writing:

your on a Island to your left is a MYER'S to your right is a Macca's in front of you is a BP Behind you is water (were R. U. ?)

That is character for character what she wrote down!! My head almost exploded. I corrected her in front of the whole "class" while everyone stared at it wondering how it was wrong... *facepalm*

For those wondering here's the corrected version:

You're on an island. To your left is a MYER, to your right is a Macca's, in front of you is a BP and behind you is water (where are you ?)

She loves breaking everone up into groups too... to "brainstorm". I'm sorry... but how can there be a storm if the three people you put me with don't even have any electrical activity in their brain?!

This is going to be a loooonnnnng five weeks. And it's 0900-1530 every weekday, which really cuts into my job hunting time... so not impressed.

Hasing coffees nao to try and calm nerves before I go.

Oh! And one week we have to go to Caboolture! Caboolture of all places!! And she has the nerve to try and organise some sort of carpool because only a few of us have cars. I'm sorry... but if I don't know these people, or give them a ride to their job interviews, or to work... why the hell am I going to give them a ride to CABOOLTURE?!?! Keep dreaming lady! They can get there however they get everywhere else.

By the way... can anyone tell me why the first chapter in the book is about effective team work/working in teams etc. What does that have to do with customer contact? I asked the "teacher". Her answer? "It's one of the modules in the book". So... because it's in the special Enigma pages... it's part of it. I should try and sneak in something on deep fryers...

*sigh* I have to leave soon... I think I'm going to have to get V or Rockstar on the way. There's no way I can deal with this without copious ammounts of caffiene :D

1. Working on it! Being cockblocked!

2. Not much room under mine. I'd get pics... but you're not actually here, so there's no good reason for me to get on my hands and knees on the floor :D

Sucks donkey dick John. WTF is Customer Contact anyway? Is this a new form of Customer Service were you get to touch everyone? Is this some requirement for a job that you applied to? I obviously missed the discussion last time.

Just sorted out all my uni timetable shit lol. 168 hours in a week - 39 for work - 49 for sleep - 18 uni contact hours - 20 hours travel - 18 hours study time(They say optimal study time should be an hour for every hour you are in uni). So that leaves me with 24 spare hours a week. 17 of which are on Sunday.

you will quickly work out which contact hours you can drop, i didnt go to uni for the last 3 years of my degree, I found my time was better spent at home working on assignments and doing the reading, lectures are a total waste IMO

PS All my parts are now at the engineers ready for machining and balancing :D

The optimal amount of study time is 0. And you can halve those contact hours at least. Take it from me, and I graduated with honours :ninja:

I realise this but I'm english and I shall never pass up the opportunity to complain. Duh. There are two subjects that I am worried about that I will probably attend 75% of lectures. One is an engineering subject the other is measurement. The lecturer for measurement is f**king useless and never puts anything up online so I'll have to go to most of those. I'll probably end up doing most of my study on the train. Seems pointless to waste 4 hours a day travelling and not get anything done. Still going to be a flamin mongrel of a semester.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
