Anyone know the policy about a factory closure due to warm weather? Like, a law.. that says you have to close it once it gets to a certain temp like back at school?

its negotiated with the employer

my union at the airport is pathetic, they couldnt talk organise there way out of a paper bag... if it was soggy and easy to tear. hence why they dont get my monies.

we have to work regardless, last year out on the tarmac it was 50degrees, and we had to work in the belly of planes that had been sitting in the sun all day so imagine the temp there... no bonus pay, no leaving early you just work untill you drop

Yeah I remember school left early if it was going to be 38+. Even better in a double bricked, tin and asbestos lined roof. Oh.. and our 200+ degree extruders. Love it.

they did that at my school only thing was you were walking back home during the hottest part of the day. 45min death march for me :P although i didnt mind cause i didnt have to do school work.

Yeah its redicilous at our work. No climate control AT ALL, meanwhile machines running at 200degrees and massive hydro style lights hanging from the roof which are always turned on never off and theres like one every square M..

Fail factory. No A/C in the lunch room either :P

Treated worse then animals...

Yeah, how some of these employers get away with making staff do labour in 40+ weather is beyond me. Sounds like Rhys job is comparable with electricians and cablers, getting stuck in roof cavities in 40+ weather trying to fix someones aircon is pretty damn nasty. I feel for mechanics and other folks who have to work in such conditions... for the most part I'm on the road in my car with the aircon on full, or I'm in an airconditioned office or server room. Sometimes I have to go into the factories and when I do, I feel the heat more than the other blokes there (cause theyre acclimatized)

TBH if I was a labour based employer, I'd be giving the workers the option of working at night time instead (unless of course the factory is already 24 hours/split shift rotation) - even then, it doesnt cost a lot to get a monster of an evaporative cooler in a factory and run it, and those evaps work quite well when the building isnt completely sealed...

-D

They got us 'hired' coolers last years summer right at the end so there was 2 weeks of summer left, what wankers. and before then they gave us spray bottles so we can spray water on our faces? WTF does that do?

Of course the boss' office is climate controlled :(. The extrusion operators are the only people in the whole of PPI that don't have a climate controlled environment, Even the store boys and maintenance man have A/C's in their offices etc our lunch room doesn't even have an A/C... We ask and we get an answer just to stall the situation so its like bashing your head against the concrete floor. FML :P

If employers gave half a f**k about their employees as much as they do profits I'd be a happy man and I'd be more inclined to work my ass off in this heat. But when management will just sit on their ass all day in their a/c offices without a care in the world about my safety I'll be happy to turn my line speed down to 11 metres a minute and take it f**king easy.

Thats right,

PPI gave me the chance to buy the GT-R and they felt they could take it away, so a big coil of pipe was dropped on my front bar. Of course not on purpose... But none-the-less pretty disheartening LOL.

Worktime yo

Thats something that would shit me too

Theyre >sitting< in their offices and doing non manual labour - they got their aircons tho, probably reverse cycle, chewing up 3kw of power per hour

Factory workers, busting their arses in hot weather and they get given a spray bottle? Nigga please

Time for a riot (or to get the union to do their damn job for a change)

-D

years ago I used to do security during the Rio Internationals at Memorial Drive (which is always in the middle of Summer).

Whilst the tennis players could walk away after a certain temperature, we'd have to stay there for the entire day = Big Fail :P

Not sure whether they measured air temp or court temp but at a certain temp they'd throw the tennis racquets down and leave us out in the open.

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
