my boss is my dad. $200 per week is enough spending money for me at the moment. if i need extra cash i just ask for it

i bought a house last year that i'm renting out to some relatives and i'm also getting 30-40K towards my next car (assuming i sell the 34 for atleast 10K) so i'm not complaining :)

but otherwise yes $200 is too low even for first years

Thought you'd be on a shit load more than that...I make that and I don't even work 40hours a week...

I work in publishing, so I get crap pay compared to industry standard. but the workplace rocks so I'm happy. plus there's loads of benefits like phone, car allowance, free flights interstate, working from nz, singapore, hong kong, malaysia, UK or india when I want etc.

i dunno, for me I have to be in a place where I wake up in the morning and feel like goin to work everyday, otherwise I'll just quit. luckily my skills are leet enough that I'll get headhunted, but still, I care not for paypackets, I care more about job satisfaction.

I wouldn't be complaining if I was getting $40k given to me either...It is satisfying earning everything for myself though. But if it's family business and you get whatever cash you need when you need it anyway, then doesn't really matter how little you get paid for working... As for first years, ~$300 seems to be the going rate in domestic, which is why I can't work domestic. You and your dad need a first year or what? If so we'll talk numbers ;)

your selling your r34 for 10k? Are you positively annoyed friend?

It's auto and he's after a quick sale...

Yeah I'm not trying to say my job is better... I get paid a lot but it's not a career (you can make a decent career in the industry, and I could have gone down that path 5 years ago but I chose not too). If you can enjoy your job and make decent money then you're set. It's all well and good to say you love a job, but if you get paid $30k a year, I don't give a f**k how much you love it, almost no-one can survive on that.

$95,000 TGR with benefits. Wouldnt be complaining either :P

What would the industry average be then?

I was making 50k a year as a full time student at 20, and charged 3k for a days work consulting, that was good haha. A few years later and I've left the industry and I make 50% off what I used to. Doesnt matter to me though because I'm 100% happier. Funny how that works. I think the psychological term is 'affluenza'.

yo virginboy. if I bring teh ceffy to the cruise, I'll have to find out if it's faster than your shitheap. 4 door RB20DET stock auto mangs.

honestly, i dont have the balls to take it out..

edit: possibly joining the burgandy s1 33 brigade

Discussing about careers eh?

I'm in need of one but don't have any idea what I want though.

So it'll be a while when I can be bothered to do anything useful seeing everything I tried leads me straight to brick wall...

Currently forcing foods into shelves and telling 'tourists' where's this where's that, not fancy but it pays so can't complain.

think it's 100k once you include super as well. not sure, haven't looked at my contract since I threatened to quit about 8 months ago.

for what I do, in melb its about right, but in syd I should be sittin on 120k.

i said atleast 10K

i wouldn't say the 40K are given to me, i did work for most of it. i could've got ~$400/week, take away the $200 "spending money" and save the other $200 which would add up to almost 30K over the last 3 years. sometimes at the end of the week if i still have some cash left i don't take any money from him at all. i'm just gonna spend it on pointless shit anyway... but yeah being a family business definitely helps alot

hmmmz he's not looking for more workers at the moment but i'll let him know anyway

rimon, take over and give the old bloke a rest (if you know what your doing and what to do etc in the business)

my old mans turn is over, my turn to be the baws

funky reply to my fb pm

don't buy a VIV car you fucking knobgobbler. It needs to be fixed, then go through a VIV inspection by an engineer etc. too much hassle.

my current golf wasn't hail damaged, the one I bought just before this was, kept it for a week, then flipped it for profit and bought this one.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
