Lol yeah because I chose to stick around with dad and learn shit than go do shit with friends. Go from school to work then home. Also. I don't think wearing clean gray tradie shorts and a collared t shirt with the actual company logo stamped on the front of it. As well as hair that's done nice and neat.

As I said. I don't go to sus out shops and stand around and talk shit. I go in, pull out the equipment, measure up. Note what's needed to remove etc and then report back to dad.

Maybe in a few years I can rock up and actually look like a manager etc and have workers do what we have to do now.

As for the age and experience thing. I cop that alll the time. Get people coming in asking for Mohsen. Then they proceed to go on about how young I look lol

Yeah I'm the youngest bloke at my work - When I have to work in stores (computer upgrades / new store / what ever) just got to walk in LIKE A BOSS! I actually use to wear nice pants and shirt when I started but it makes it a bit hard lifting / screwing around with computer boxes and shit, so these days just been wearing jeans and a t-shirt.. no complaints yet. (I work for the body shop) - I.T though so..

no homo.

I don't know what it is exactly that Mohsen does for work, but sometimes looking too white collar can offer up a negative image for your client. Really depends on what industry you are working in.

Take for example, when I used to do sales repping for my family's oil distribution company. Visiting automotive workshops, I found the owners treated you more like one of their own if I was wearing a logo'd up polo and a pair of steel caps. There's also much more sincerity to your "how's business going lately?" than if you are wearing a shitty tie and target spec shirt, looking like you've never picked up a spanner in your life. I've seen a lot of wanky looking reps in my time...so many of them fail to break the barrier between supplier and client because they can't meet them on the same level. Which is a shame, because it does help with customer loyalty.

Another point is that, if you already have the client on board, they probably won't give a shit what you are wearing from then on out. First impression is the most important one. After that, focus will be on the job being done properly and how you can save them money.

this

such complicated issues tackled in here

reminds me of pillowtalk on the austereo network

or the "net at night"

No idea what any of that is!

Apparently my brother wants to buy my GTR and sell his GTST after going for a spin the other night hah

Now I can get a new Ford GS ? do want :D

By 'proper' pants/shorts I meant hard yakka pants/sorts etc....So you actually look like a tradesman there to do a job, not someone walking in off the street for minimum chips and a chiko roll.

Apparently it's not on and you should wear dress pants and a button up shirt no matter what...

when clients come over (after hours) to see my old man about quotes/plans etc he's in trackies. but when I/he go to see clients at job sites during work hours ofcourse you'd be wearing appropriate clothing although i've met up with clients a few times at sites in trackies but that was after work and being told by my old man to go coz he cant make it. if you're a tradie they don't give a f**k what you're wearing, your company's reputation is what counts.

just coz salesmen sleep in suits dont mean we have to.

Psst...dezzy...Pat said to buy a suit / some $10 slacks from Target (pronounced Tarjay) and Alex basically +1'd his post.

Wasteland detective out.

If that's the case then f**k that, tradie world is completely different. You don't rock up in a suit if you're a tradie, and if you do, you're a fuck head.

    • 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🙄
