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

Yeah that's what I meant, you're not getting 'paid' but you're getting money from your parents anyway, so it works out the same when it's him you're working for..Same way my cousins grew up...They worked a shit load of hours, didn't really get paid, but all lived rent free til they got married (pretty much the standard wog way anyway) and all had clubsports with petrol cards when they were 21 etc...works out in the end..

I didn't think you'd be after a first year, but thought I'd mention it anyway lol...I CAN'T work for chicken feed though...pre-app average score was 96.5% if that helps :P

don't buy a VIV car you f**king 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.

okay.

drive would be nice right now.. where to go?

no

if youre gonna buy a beemer that looks as pretty as a human foreskin cos you've got a limited budget, you might as well go back another generation and get an E30 M3 2.5L.

Goodluck finding a decent one though

It was a nice night so I thought I might go for a drive, first time over the westgate in my car at night in a very very long time... Highway patrol was setup on the westgate on the way home. Ended up going Lygon Street, heaps of cars out and about

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.

nice.

If anyone wanted to earn big bucks they would move to the mining industry. Those guys are handing out shitloads of dollars. Got a couple of friends who work on oil rigs. One of them did 84 days straight. Pays a heap but not an easy life doing 12hrs everyday and stuck on an oil rig

A few electricians I've met that have worked on mines in W.A have NFI. We had them help us with a job over there, and they couldn't even tell the difference of a DOL vs. VSD, and wiring a 3-phase motor in delta or star. I'm hoping its not the vast majority...could possibly be why they weren't working on the mines anymore.

As for my career, I'm contemplating trying to get my foot in the door eventually with PLC programming. Had a little taste of it doing maintenance at Schweppes a week ago, and quite like it.

Do you guys wire up new houses or just maintenance and installations etc in existing houses?

and it probably would break down + front tires are almost down to belts, so shouldn't drive it anywhere I don't need too...

i wanna go for a nice long drive tomorrow, where to go indeed...

thinking Shepparton but it seems boring up there

f**k that, not much to do in Shepparton and the drive is boring as well

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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?
