Hi Ladies and Gents

I've been looking for work for a few months now and I'm having a bit of trouble getting into something. There haven't been a lot of jobs advertised in Perth that are really up my alley. If I knew how to manage a store or something I'd be alright, there's heaps of businesses looking for managers, but I wouldn't know what to do in that sort of position.

I'm 21 and being a fully qualified mechanic is probably the best thing that I have going for me. I'm also really good with computers and electronics. However, I would be open to try new avenues of work.

It seems that the application stage here in the city takes ages to get through, because I've applied for some jobs and it's been up to a month later when I here back. I could really use a hand to get into some work, so if you know a place that's looking for workers or someone that can help me out please get in touch with me on the forum. PM is probably the best way to go.

What are some good employment agencies in Perth?

Cheers

Kinda depends on what you are looking for I suppose, but yeah, the labour market has taken a real shafting in the last 7-8 months and it really is a huge "buyers" market atm :)

My advice would be this - there is still plenty of work out there, but only if you are willing to drop your standards and do anything for teh ca$h. It can suck - hell, I went from sitting in an office in the cbd for 6 figures, to delivering newspapers in a 380 000km old van in outer buttf**k with 7 days a week of midnight starts, but it has kept the cash rolling in while I look for something decent.

Keep in mind too, that WA is about to start on the largest gas project this country has ever seen, so if you have any usable construction or heavy plant skillz, start getting your CV out to the big oil and gas recruiters NOW.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
