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.

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

    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
    • I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain. 
    • OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
    • Yeah that looks like great caster, but I'd suggest trying less front camber some time and seeing if it helps with braking without reducing mid corner speed too much
    • I ended up setting the rear 5mm higher than normal to give some clearance.  My plan is to run the least camber I can in the rear which I think with the extra width is going to need to be -1.75 to -2.00° just to get clearance.  Guards have been rolled and pulled as much as they can/I would be wanting to.  front has the Acostal knuckle with the KPI change and the drop etc. So should be okay with the existing settings I have run with AR1s etc Front: Toe total -2mm(1mm out each side) Caster +7.5° Camber -3.8° Ackerman +15°
