Well my day just got interesting, my yardie (bloke that cleans cars and shit) was driving me to our other yard to pick up a car and he ran up the arse of a lady that i think was Indian driving a little Corolla.. she stopped in the middle of the road when there was nothing coming and the bull bar off our BT-50 did work of her rear bumper. My yardies up for a $500 excess and more than likely lost his job.

Hektik!

Well that's an interesting turn of events. Probably won't lose his job for a once off, would he?

Yep haha, yeah well my boss has been talking to me about wanting to f*ck him off because he's not doing things right anyway so i reckon this is the last straw. I reckon he'll have to wait a few weeks though or else it can be a fair work issue if my yardie tried to do anything about it.

He's a bit of a loser, wouldn't be suprised if he wasn't here tomorrow.

Damn you need to come up here, it's nearly 30 degrees by 8am i'm sick of it!

Major problem, its too expensive to get to the snow from there i <3 snow

also i dont think theres too many software dev jobs in Mackay!

High Vis is where it's at in QLD...

Used to bag a mate that QLD is the land of Hi Ves and Low IQ

Snowboarding > Most things

Absolutely love it.

Pity all the mining companies don't pay their office staff anything like the 'hands on' people and engineers.

They pay their office staff ridiculously well... Depends on the job thought. Internal accountants are circa $100k.

I know a head environmental officer out in the mines that makes close to $170k a year and i can't imagine she does a hell of a lot of "hard work"

about time it all evened out anyway - sick of seeing people who i know dropped out of school and are as thick of 5 bags of sh*t earning 150k and buying Range Rovers just for shuffling around in the dust at a mine site, while i worked my @ss off at school so i could spend 5 years at uni and have a massive HECS debt and a long climb up the corporate ladder ahead of me........<RANT>

+1 to all of this!

I've spent the last 6 years studying and still have one more to go as well as 3 years full time work and im still not earning that good money.

Although relocation overseas is now looking like my best bet :/

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
