My bro applied for Industrial Design at Monash Uni. Got letter saying, we want you but not enough places, wait till someone drops out.

Decided to go through Monash College; a private college meaning no hecs, so its full fee (loan from the college)

$20,000 for first year. Course was full of bullshit arts subjects. In order to get into Industrial Design or Architecture, you needed 80% average. Which is bullshit because how can you grade artwork. Comes down to how the fag arts teacher "feels" about your creation etc

All they "feel" is that if they keep your average below 80%, thats more money for them lol

Dropped out, before the 2nd year starts ($15000) and re-applying for the course in the new year.

Industrial Design at Monash is super popular & is a massive pain in the ass to get into. I've done it & my little brothers doing it now but neither of us got straight in, I started a mech eng/design degree (also at monash) & then transfered across & bro did a couple year furniture design course through RMIT then got in when he re-applied.

Tell your brother to keep at it though as monash is the ducks nuts for I.D., the majority of people go and do something else first to build up their folio which makes it heaps easier, northland college is pretty popular i think.

The main issue is they take stuff all people, think there was 25 in my year, when i did eng there was hundreds of people in a class! But at the end of the day its worth it, think only 3/4 people from my year didnt walk straight into work after graduation & if you want to get into the automotive field its your best shot by a long way.

random wasteland stalker comes out of the shadows with the goods!

haha

yeah, he's managed to build up a portfolio from his $20,000 college stint and will be presenting that now. Hopefully that will be enough this time to push him over to the 'A' letter. (got a 'B' letter last time)

Hows the job future for this career? Sounds quite specialized and probably tricky to find a job in Australia?

nothing worse than driving and having a hundsman run across your windscreen...

I rekin having one run across the inside of your windscreen at 5am in the dark is worse...then when you pull over asap because you're as close to being arachnaphobic as possible without actually being arachnaphobic, and it's disappeared, then you find it on your steering wheel, so you hit it with the only thing you have, your work boot, and it disappears again, only to find it on your seat 5 minutes later...

Then you drive to work in the dark with no street lights, and paranoia kicks in and it feels like there's spiders crawling all over you...that's worse.

Dezz do you still have your stock a-pillar plastic? Getting rid of my twin gauge holders but its an el cheapo and i have a hole for a screw in my pillar

Cheers

It's been up for sale for like a year now...and you missed out by 24 hours.

Jobs arent too bad, i.d. is pretty good in that you come out being able to go into a heap of different design areas. for example from my year, couple guys went to i.d. companies in melb (companies that do basically all kinds of work for clients), ones designing characters/environments for a video game company in port melbourne, few doing furniture design, ones working for dyson in the uk, couple doing web design, another went to italy to do his masters (now working there) & a heap of us went into automotive. 3 are designers (1 holden, 1 ford, 1 merc in china but previously honda in japan), 1's a photoshop artist at ford, 4 or 5 are alias modellers (ford, holden, hsv, they do all the 3d computer modelling during design process) & me & a mate got clay modelling jobs at ford. We make the concept/proto-type cars out of clay, generally all full size & do interiors too.

There is heaps of auto work overseas, generally contract based, & pretty easy to move around once you've got about 5yrs experience. Auto design took a massive beating during gfc but pretty much back to full speed again (here & o.s.), I've been out of ford for about 18mths now (I worked on fords new t6 ranger so finished up at end of program) & have just been sluming it in factories since but as i said its all good again, currently have 2 offers & just working out where i wanna go.

As i said earlier i dont venture into vic wasteland all that often so if you/your bro have any questions about i.d. at monash or just in general shoot me a pm.

cheers, Tim

sounds alot like studio art :\

the lecturer at RMIT was telling me its all design based, you get to team up with bitches doing fabric design etc to design materials n shit(hopefuly their bitches)

ill get some pics of what i made on saturday.

oh and RMIT ships you off os for a year of study/work experience :D

pretty much what i wish to do, i tried to make a small scale clay prototype but that failed miserably, wooden under structure wasnt strong enough, collapsed, hurts my brain thinking about it

You still wanna buy that turbo? Just Borrow my heat gun when you pick it up

Maybe not such a bad idea to upgrade the turbo while I'm at it... And I'll need to change exhaust, intercooler, etc.

You found the clutch yet?

Still looking for reasonably priced 20det, everyone is asking drug money for one.

nah.... annoying huh... it's a thousand dollar fkn clutch and it's totally gone missing when i moved house :P

nah.... annoying huh... it's a thousand dollar fkn clutch and it's totally gone missing when i moved house :P

I hate moving houses, stuff get lost like one of my toolbox... It's MIA since I moved houses 2 months ago and I need it to use it to remove the nut on rear coilovers on my R.

fixed

no jamie, i was walking down to the milkbar one sunday morning and there was a garage sale, saw the deer n also found out they had other stuffed shit. paid 50 bux for the lot and took them home and scared my mum with them (imagine her reaction coming home and finding a deer in her kitchen lol)

so i threw them in the garage, chucked them for sale and yeah, got a solid bite from a bloke in adelaide

still have a stuffed german shepherd if anyone wants it

same dog, less shit, got that one seperatley though

You crazy kid!

:P

It's fucked!

LOL!

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
