I'm just going to have a bit of a rant-

I work on a measly $600 p/w wage, with commission paid monthly. Now i say measly because i live in Mackay and for those of you who don't know it's a very big mining town so prices for things like rent and food are through the roof.

I don't have huge amounts of traffic in my yard as it's new and still getting on it's feet, but i do okay. I just got my payslip for my monthly commission to see i've been taxed literally every cent of the commission i made, the only thing that i got extra was a bonus incentive from my boss. Apparently on commission i get taxed 28% of earnings and my boss gets taxed 34% so he says. I am not happy! Definitely not fair at all.

End rant, time for a 3 day holiday :)

I paid close to enough in tax to cover 2 people's doles last financial year. Need bonuses to allow for extra purchases etc due to current financial issues but most of it goes to the dirty homeless b**(((78 who doesn't have a job but can pop out kids left right and centre.... Just sayin!

Me and my mrs want to move to Brisbane next year, and Infiniti in Brisbane are taking applicants as of end of this year.. Might end up working for them when i head down there. That would be awesome!

Know one of the consultants there. Let me know if you're interested.

Thank you... i agree 100% with you. Also in regards to my rant, i have done 3 deals today i am on f*cking fire. Best way to end the day and start my few days away :)

Definitely will hit you up, if i do end up coming down. We want to come down mid next year, need time to save and get things organised. My mrs wants to do animation at brisbane uni and wants to start around the beginning of semester 2 or 3 i think.

Over the weekend my passenger side window started playing up, and my drivers side lock.

Expensive weekend:(

how does your lock play up, as in when you hit unlock on the key nothing happens? I get that sometimes, shits me to tears. Especially in public.

Checked your battery mate?

Meh, I know nothing about horses and the like.

Nor do I :P deposited $50 into betting account. Walked away with $90. Can't complain.

It unlocks my passengers door but not my drivers door. Super annoying!

Mine does that every now and then, not very often though. So annoying i agree.

im looking into replacements parts at the moment... might tint the front windows while they are out and maybe install some new speakers

Good idea to swap a few things around while you've got the bits off the car. I need some new front door speakers, i also need a new ipod plug thingy as mines all tattered and shitty. Can anyone recommend a good brand i can pick up from Autobarn or Jaycar?

    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
    • lights are on just the one click.  
    • Absolutely matters because, while a temperature change will eventually reach a sensor at the end of a static line, the response time is far far far too slow to be useful. Might as well not have a temp gauge at all.
    • When I was eyeing off the 370GT (after deciding I didn't want to spend 30-40k+ to relive my early 20s in an R33) I thought it'd be a good project to add a turbo to it. Now that I have a 370GT, and I've had a couple of chances to open it up, I'm pretty stunned by how much power it makes 🫠 Honestly, the way the VVEL opens it up, it almost feels like there's a little turbo tucked away in there somewhere. It's like Nissan looked at VTEC and said "hold my beer" 😁 Has anyone thrown a turbo into their 370Z or 370GT? Is there a conservative boost level you can run without having to upgrade the fuel system, or are bigger injectors and a bigger pump a given?
