Hey dudes, i've just come out of a four year uni course and have commenced full time work as a town planner. It's full on work, with lots of stress and deadlines, but the money is good.

I'm going to continue work in this field for about another year or so, and then i'm thinking of heading more into the design field. Architectural drafting / building design is what i'm thinking of entering into.

Are there any architectural drafters out there? What are your thoughts / experiences in this field?

Astro,

Get into Architectural/Building design over town planning, any town planners i know hate their jobs as its the same shit everyday. Your work will be more enjoyable as a designer as it wont be so repetitive.

Put it this way, would you rather be going through others designs all day or would you want to be designing your own stuff?

Its as simple as that.

Drafting and Design are two different things all together though.

I considered doing the tafe course part-time (Advanced Diploma of Building Design - Architectural) as I enjoy designing buildings and such in my free time, and starting a weekend company, but at 5 years part time and 26 grand I decided against it - now I just need to find a drafter to redraw my extension plans for council approval...

If you want to get in to a real autonomous design field....I recommend civil designing....

designing roads, sewer, drainage, water reticulation, etc. I can state more applications..

It'll open up a fair few opportunities and not too much of a leap from town planning I hazard to guess.

I've done a bit of building design albeit small residential stuff low story etc...but definitely for more design involvement and challenging opportunities try civil.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
