you should hear some of the ideas that our engineers at the power station come up with. we had a pipe hanger brace that need a torque figure needed to do it up. they came up with some stupid figure like 16000 nm, we asked if they were sure and they said yes. as we were doing it up all the brackets started to deform so we went back to them and told them what was happening, they cam back and said ' well just do it up hand tight then' !!!!!!! WTF

How far through your diploma are you ?

I only started 6 months ago, I'm only doing 3 units at night school, as i am also juggling a full time job..

But I'm looking to start my career in engineering.

so is it worth the $400 when i grad mid next year? my lecturer keeps telling me to "HOLD ONTO YOUR MEMBERSHIP" blah blah. to be honest i think IEEE is better for its international recognition.

advice for a poor uni student here.

Usually you get your company to pay it back to you as an expense claim. And/or (depends how dodgy you are) you can claim it on tax too.

Boss says you need it to sign off on drawings etc, but I don't think its a requirement yet. I'm about 70% through the career episodes "I did this, I did that, I'm awesome..." bla bla.

I'm pretty sure your boss is wrong, we sign off drawings all the time, and none of us are IEAust members.

That's why I think it's a waste of time, as writing some crap doesn't make you a good engineer, it just makes you persistant enough to complete the paperwork :(

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
