My cousin is in a similar situation, already a registered nurse however shes been doing the Midwife upgrade course which entails having to do (x) amount of deliveries and they dont get paid for it. She only has 2 more to go thankfully, cause like you guys, her family could really deal with the extra cash (or paid work instead of unpaid work in other words)

Pretty rough really, hardly a surprise we don't have more nurses. What dept does Tracy work in at WCH ? Thats where my cousin is based...

-D

Yeah the last 6 weeks have been BS as far as finances are concerned. How the fark does TAFE expect people to work for free for 6 weeks?

Tracy works in the Rodgerson Theatres (Emergency Dept).

;)

^^^ BAH - try your missus having a baby and having a total of 1.5 YEARS off - plus copping around $5k worth of expenses in tests, ultrasounds, delivery, hospital stay on top etc etc. AND try and service my mortgage on one wage ....

Well thats what I was saving my Long Service Leave up for. So I could take time off work (paid) and use a combination of time off and LSL paid out, to finance having a baby. Unfortunately, thats not happening for us. Tried IVF and it just so expensive. With the wedding coming up and Tracy not being paid for working those 6 weeks ... I've given up on the baby thing now. I'll be using my LSL now to go to the IOMTT next year. 17 weeks worth of paid time off ... woohoo!

Got a Staff Review meeting with the bosses this week. Will be asking for a bigger bonus and/or part payout on the LSL so we can get back on our feet quicker.

Hey, thanks for your moral support at the 'wrecking yard' the other day too Jenna ;)

Heh - I wasn't much good for anything but standing around and offering a tool here or asking questions there... It was still an interesting day to watch you guys working on stuff. If I learn something from it, I'm happy.

I love working on cars (like a lot of IT people, I've found), and I read a lot on doing things - but I have little confidence in my knowledge, so I try and get somebody experienced to guide me when I'm unsure. I also prefer to tackle things I'm familiar with - general servicing isn't an issue (fuel filter, oil filter, oil change, etc - did a complete service on my N14 SSS recently which involved a changing of the timing chain tensioner - but, I got in help on that one :)). Either way, a snapped accelerator pedal was not something I felt comfortable with - one of those things that if you attempt to fix, and can't - you can't drive the car anywhere to get it fixed. Thankfully it was RubyRS4 to the rescue :bunny:

Ruby - did you have any luck recovering your extension lead today?

Anyway, it was good to actually meet some people from the forums and put faces to names ... Hell, I am an SAU:SA member ... Maybe I should drop down to villis on a Friday ...

Thats where I ended up Friday night aswell lol

lol! its quite the shithole hey

i was meant to go there but i ended up playing poker and winning :)

ahh good to hear!

not like that other bet you made at the bar earlier with Jack though - he's a freak! I lost it after watching him skoll that big pint of guiness in 2 seconds...

I've ended my night at Strats way too much.

I was there at 6:30am the other week... it's so awkward when you walk in and you find half your mates in there, too haha!

My mate got kicked out after touching one of the strippers. The best part? My mate is a girl! She's a crazy one.

But Strats is feral. I was playing pool against 2 strippers there the other week - one had braces on still and looked about 14.

HAHAHA i know the one!!! She tried asking us to buy a lap dance, and that's exactly what we were thinking too; she looked waaaay too young...

There was one girl dancing on the boardroom table next to us, on the outide she did look pretty cute but she was probably more thrashed out than a P platers R31.

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
