I hate you

1. Get a Job

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

Rant

Damn, that sucks massively dude. I feel for you. I'd go insane for sure.

I hate stupid people.

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.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
