Don't worry mate, if you're happy and getting good money, don't worry so much.

I'm still in the same job I have been for 6 years....

im getting decent money, but im not happy.

should have listened to the olds and got into a trade.

f**king loved construstion tech-wood

made so much cool shit and was my strongest subject, just never did anything with it

thanks Craig,

TBH i have been activly looking for a new job since i got back from Thailand in october. i was determined to move up not sideways, so that ground work goes a long way... got me a few interviews that i had no business attending due to lake of experience.

Yeah, a trade is awesome, good money, great people, and to me, suits my lifestyle. Finish work, then can go out shopping still, do banking/posting, etc as I've still got a few hours till shops close. It's never too late you know

I'm not sure on the whole setup but I think you can get adult entry apprenticeships that pay you decent enough money to survive on. Does your missus work too? That would be a big help. My point is, nothing is impossible, difficult yes, impossible no

Don't worry mate, if you're happy and getting good money, don't worry so much.

Yeah, nearly 5.5 years at the same job here - moved to Adelaide for the job from interestate. Job is still decent and pays well (IT stuff), so I haven't seen any reason to move on.

our new mortgage is only 270 pw :thumbsup: fut yes to a large deposit :whistling:

Bloody hell, I pay more than that in rent :S

carpentry, panel beating, electrician, plumbing...

Narrow it down to one or two, you'll find it easier, apply to a tafe course for that trade, you will get a placement.

our new mortgage is only 270 pw :thumbsup: fut yes to a large deposit :whistling:

yeah the missus works full time... dunno, id have to scope a few things out..

$270pw is f**k all, I wish mine was that low, f**k, I know a few people making close to those sorts of repayments on cars

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
