since hes young but drives an import and an old school muscle car, would that still make him a bad employee because he drives an import too? a car enthusiast is a car enthusiast no matter what car they own or age.

not having a go dude, just dont like sterotyping :)

Word!

good luck getting a job there, few months back i did phone interview, then went there for another interview, they didn't get back to me for a month & when i rang they had no idea if i had the job or not lol

+1 lol

i had exactly the same thing happen to me, did the phone interview then the faced to face one and then nothing called and same thing happened, they had no idea

I had a on the phone interview, I then had the face-to-face interview, which was last week and I am yet to hear from them although they said they have several weeks of interviewing to go... Not that I want that job anymore as I just got a job at Westpac.

several weeks of interviewing eh, i wonder who's going to wait 2 months to hear back from them lol....

leaving feedback for that long is unprofessional, and i wonder how many positions are available? Surely if 2-3 positions, they wouldnt need to interview 3 weeks worth of candidates, thats what shortlisting is for.

Omg you got a job at westpac???? Are you like the security there or the person that deals with money!!!

Yeah at Westpac, doing collections. Early cycle phone calls, but really from here the possibilitys are endless and they provide all in house training etc for you to move up the corporate ladder.

oh man oh man.....you will absolutely love it down there man....work is pretty boring but who gives a f**k when there are so many hot girls down there....we did all of their IT stuff a while ago and it was awesome....got to chat up a couple of those lovely ladies....went on dates with a couple of them from down there....but dnt know if they are still working there or not.....security guards were champs....

i have been to all of westpac's call centers here in australia and it was a blast working there

well its not telemarketing so that wont be a problem.......you receive calls from people who want to do telephone banking.....and find out why they got charged so much yada yada yada.....they have a lot of in house applications which will need some time getting used to but not that hard after all.....i dont think they have internet access for normal users there.......not too sure on that

but yes some dayum fine ladies down there and some milfs too

Yeah, my roll here at Westpac is something like what you described but slightly different and it is deffinatly nothing like telemarketing or annoying people working for Telstra lol - This is totally different,

I have full internet access here too

ahh they must have changed the policies over or something.....as i do remember back then the average user wasnt allowed to be on the net......but you have to meet your call targets or whatever the f**k they call it.....there shouldnt be so many calls in the que et etc.....

Oh for sure there is a general rule that while you are busy with heaps of calls etc that you wouldnt be allowed to surf the net, how on earth would you be able to complete your job, but yeah. I best no be on the net while im still new there haha

Back on the Insurance Issue, I phoned Famous and they raised their age limit to 30.

So basically now that Im turning 25 at the end of this year, I don't even get good insurance premiums.

Anyone found someone except Shannons or Just Car to insure their import?

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
