Mackay is the HSV capital of Australia, why are the locals letting you cut in on their market? watch your back while your up there... :nyaanyaa:

With regards to that 33, considering its got no rego i'd expect 20K for it. Considering he was asking 23K for it before, it seems pretty normal.

Haha yes i know but when the local dealer is charging 5k more for the same product and offering crap service then it is easy to move cars up there. They should be making a killing up there but they dont.

Morning Mangs. Nother day nother dollar fiddy. :thumbsup:

I only get the fiddy :(

On the flip side I get free steak and my job description is "make sure hot chicks get drunk and have a good time" so I guess it kind of evens out :)

I'll ask some of my mates if they're willing to go take a look.

Also, what makes it dodgy?

It is as close to stock as you will find, low km's with documents. Price is comparable to other BNR33's of the same year.

If you know anyone in that area, I'm willing to pay for their time to drive out there etc.

I thought it looked a little bit dodgy due to it being "stock" and for some reason having carbon bits on the exterior and through the interior, as well as the engine being too clean to be 15 years old. Having said that though, could have just been given a full detail when it was brought into the country. He says he has 12months rego, I might send him an email today and ask more about it.

I will have to drive it back to brisbane so I'm hoping it won't fall apart 20 k's down the road. It seemed dodgy because it looks just too good to be true, considering the cleaner, *low* km ones are about 23-26. Having said that it I'd be kicking myself if next week someone else posts up they got it for a steal and it's in tip top condition.

Mackay... ugh. I lived there from year 11 - year 12. At our year 12 graduation I was surprised at the lack of ambition amongst the kids there. We were asked to say what we wanted to do after school and the presenter would read it out as we came on the stage to accept the certificate. 98% of the girls said "Become a hairdresser and marry a rich miner" 98% of the guys said "Get a trade and work in the mines." Needless to say I jumped ship that day and drove to Brisbane (on my L's whattuppppp) 4 years on I'm now IT for BHP.. so I guess I went the same way haha.

Get trade, work in mines, ?????, Profit!

Truck drivers up there make at least double what I do, tradesmen more like 3 times what I make. I often wonder what I am doing running pubs... But then I go back to finishing the cocktail I'm making for the hot blonde with big tits ;)

They're also dropkicks. I've been up there a few times and they certainly work for their money .. well most of them do anyway. Talking 12 - 16 hour shifts for 7 days in a row with 3 days off, or alternate rosters such as 5 on 2 off etc. My favourite is 7 on 7 off but that's either Mt Isa or Groote Eyelandt.

I think a lot more people here in Brisbane are catching onto it, certainly a lot of the younger guys are anyway. Mackay 5 / 6 years ago when I moved up there was hard to find rent for our family when I was living with my Mum, I'd hate to imagine it now considering how flooded it is with young guys and HR licenses.

Agreed. Most contracts you see via Brisbane are 14/7 or 8/6 FIFO so not too bad when you're pulling down six figures plus. I've looked at jobs running the camps and F&B operations in the mines as well. Great coin for what I basically do now, not sure if I could handle the isolation and the lack ofcontact with people other than CUB's.

I honestly wouldn't relocate or work up there full time in my field. The work is better but there's only a 10k site allowance on top of usual salary now if I was on the usual 5/2 roster for the bowen basin, I'd be getting on a flight on a friday night and flying back sunday night, with a group of mates here and into cars etc, I'm not sure the extra $80 a week is really worth it which is why I go up there for the occasional switch upgrade every once and a while, it works out better financially as they pay for flights up and back whereas normally you would be on your own there.

I should also add that IT are the lowest paid on site.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      If your tuner can't make the car idle like factory, I'd get a new tuner. These injectors are fantastic and I'd have very serious concerns about a tuners skill set if they couldn't get them to idle well.

      It's highly likely you will find something. Alternatively, a quick design and order online from chaina and you'll have a perfect solution

      Idle Lambda target is off by .4 but I reckon the VE table is not correct. If my tuner has no issue using these injectors I will keep them, they are good quality after all

      I already have an Apexi. Just wondering if it is worth putting in something new since the Apexi is likely well over 10 years old, if not 15. I know the injectors work but they already run at less than rated fuel pressure to make them work properly and idle is basically 1% duty cycle or less. Could be better

      By Duncan · Posted

      Nice, I would never have thought in that direction. The actual motor is a cylinder....I wonder if there are any cylindrical heat sinks with the right ID  (and if there is clearance to other components). I think adding airflow is still a thing as well....will check it all out next time it is in the air. Wish I had a hoist...
