AFAIK, Andrew is a sub-contractor. Meaning he has to pay his own super, his own tax, his own sick leave, holidays, etc. If so that $1200 gets less attractive quickly

Even so, for a full week that's good money :domokun:

I did intend that to come across as a light hearted jab to Andrew, hardly being serious.

We all live within our means so earning less to what you normally do will hurt whatever budget your usual to

I wasn't having a dig at ya, just saying :domokun: It would be all well and good me telling you I earn $2500 a week, but if I'm a subbie, I have costs that come out of that $2500 so the take home is a lot less...

As you said, we live within our means, having your pay cut usually does help. Andrew is lucky his missus works too :D

Yeah Luke is dead right .... for a start I have to give 1/11th of that money back to the Govt as GST, then I pay $10k a year PI Insurance, not to mention run a company, car, phone, computers etc .... but hey, I know it will get busy again when the market heats back up, so at the moment I get to have some family time (went to the Gorge Wildlife park today for 4 hours with the wife and 2 year old) .... and when work gets busy again I go back to 18 hour days like I was doing a couple of years ago.

The joys of running a small business eh? It can be rewarding but you work f**king hard for it too

A place in Salisbury called All Make Motor Repairs & Restorations.

They have a hub-pack dyno, for extremely accurate results. No wheel spin or variable settings like roller dyno's.

214.7 at 5500rpm with a diff ratio of 4.300

Thought he was missing presumed dead like usual i hear?

Last I heard too, that's why I asked :thumbsup: He usually works out of there.

Man would be so frustrating trying to contact him if I had issues with a tune he did

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
