Not sure if non-FBers can see this or not, but check this out. Loved it.

Yeah seen that plenty of times. Funny as. Reminds me of my Grandfather. He was a boxer in WW2 and he could still hit em hard before he died at 82yo.

Troy i used to have BFG sports 235x45x17 they were a decent tyre

then i heard they were stopping that one or something cant remember this was 3 years ago

yeah old man pwned that noob

EDIT

are these sort of what you were thinking

EDIT

hahahah these are semi's

thanks matty, definitely good to be home. never been OS before, bit of culture shock for the first couple of days, but when you get used to the 32+ degrees and stupidly close to 100% humidity, its alright. stayed for 10 nights, just enough time to make me enjoy coming home.

yeah and more $$$

f**k it, ill keep sliding the 31, dont care what others say.

eventually it will more than likely come to an end, THEN ill worry about another set up.

Kye, organise a private day!

i cant say iv ever driven a CA, its just the thought of a 4 cyl makes me feel all dirty

Think you need to come for a drive in my car as well Craig, nothing dirty about a 4 cylinder champ....

ANYONE HERE WORK AT THE MINES OR RIGS?

Getting close to finishing my studies and need some hook ups.

Cheers

if i still worked at BHP I'd have been able to put u in contact with a HR manager... ;\

best bet is to get a copy of any certifications you have (such as forklift licences, heavy vehicle licences, tradie stuff) and forward it to the HR manager @ 55 Grenfell St, Adelaide, 5000 and make sure your cover letter is 100% awesome enough that they put u on file. They will eventually be turning OD into an open cut mine which will eventually be very labour intensive, I just don't know when its going to happen.

Other thing is, there are a few other natural resource companies that are based in SA like petratherm, they are small outfits now but just about all of them are projecting exponential growth once their mines/taps become operational, so I'd also be doing some research about the different companies around here. Some are based around ores but there are also LNG and thermal/solar/wind to consider too

Whats your trade?

-D

What sorta stuff you interested in Kye???

Hey mate, I'd really really like to get into mudlogging on a rig but I'm not overly fussed.

I'll be qualified in pretty much geoscience areas so I'll have to work around the geologists mainly.

hey bud, I'll be qualified in mining exploration and diploma in geoscience.

I've got first hand information through an industry orientation lesson about a few places (mainly rig based) and all my info regarding PIRSA.

Also my girlfriends dad worked for Rio pretty high up too but I'm trying to attack this job hunting every which way I can through as many different contact as possible! Due to this stupid tax purposal, a lot of natural reasource companies have slow production till it's all sorted so getting in can take some time right now.

I've got petratherm on my list a long with beach petrolium. Hot rocks seem to be the way of the future but at the moment their only small areas in a huge industry at the moment.

Going to be busting out the resumes everywhere just seeing if anyones got direct contact so I can bypass all the crap along the way and hopfully snake a few people :)

cheers

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
