Got the call today to say that Geoservices were pleased with my test results and said my interview was great!

I was offered a job on the spot and start as early as Monday :) sooooooo stoked and soooooo much more money then what I used to earn. Double infact!!

Gotta do helicopter under water escape training in Perth and a week of in house training before they send me off to a rig somewhere in the world!

After my first stint away, when I'm back I'll be looking for an EVO :D

Congratulations man,

What were your studies, i.e. what did you actually study and what cert do you hold?

Good stuff Kye, congrats! How long were your studies for?

And Luke.... gah, why do I bother :)

cheers mate, im stoked!

just a 2 year full time course mate. it made life hard not working and living out of home but its paid off big!

Congratulations man,

thanks man

i did my cert 3 in mining exploration and diploma in geoscience

sound boring but really interested me and would recomend it to anyone

as a trainee ill be on $2600 a month base rate plus $126 a day for ruffly six months then around $80k a year plus the $126 a day :D 12 hour days 2 weeks straight 2 off but could change.

Very nice income man :D Congrats and well done for someone to actually make use of their studies. So many people study these days and then end up working in a servo for the following 40 years :)

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
