Lol i got no skillz, haven't concept sketched in over a year now. I would be hella fail. I do all 3d stuff on computers now. I could probably model up some cool stuff

Yeah for sure.

Holden need 3d modelers to show the concept designs before molding it out.

Or what you should do is get into 3d animation / game development.

I assume you 3d model out the playgrounds you design..?

Yeah man, Most of the time they just come from the drafies downstairs premodled, I just import, texture, light and setup a scene then render out the previs stuff then comp it in photoshop ;) I like to model stuff but there isn't enought time in the day to model every playground.

yeah if you want automotive you've gotta go to monash, I think they're the only uni in australia that teach auto design & clay modelling. Holden actually sponser the 'clay room' & their chief of modelling & fabrication, Mike Chester, teaches the students plus theres is currently 3 former senior designers from ford in the i.d. faculty. Like I said earlier, companies pay a lot of attention to monash students during their final year(s) which makes it heaps easier getting work.

Also for anyone doing i.d. (regardless of uni) make sure you apply for the co-op positions at holden/ford, they have a few each, as they are almost a guaranteed job once you graduate (unless your useless...)

Mr windsurf you say your ok with computer modelling, if you have any skills with alias autostudio holden & ford are both hiring right now (plus designers, clay modellers, colour/trim, etc.) so check the ads on seek & contact flexitech.

cheers, tim

haha yeah nothing on telly so im reading everything for a change!

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

Cheers for the wise words Tim! I will pass on the info to my bro. Thanks

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt
