[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

I sort of did that with my Skyline off J-spec. I wasn't even looking for another car at the time hehe

But your R34 GTT is nice and clean!

hot

ive had my 33 for 7 years now

it's done 23,000 each year since i got it

broken radiator

coilpacks died

alternator replaced

diff is grumpy

usual wear and tear - clutches, tyres

37% more power than stock and held up pretty well considering

hehe. I'm in a similar situation but not. I've had my Pulsar for 7 years. Done a bit less than 10,000kms per year as it spends most of it's life off the road.

I've broken well...EVERYTHING.

Should be making 200-210fwkw with the manual behind it. Bit of an increase over the 50fwkw it had stock.

It's not really as clean as it looks. It was just a really attractive price at the time.

Well done That's impressive!

What's it like having so much power at the front wheels in such a small car?

[llama_au]

Fun. It's not nearly as hard to control as you might imagine, stopping is the hard part.

[jezza boii]

What brakes have you got on there? Stock? Coz if so then I know what you mean by 'stopping is the hard part'

Sort of stock. Front and rear calipers and disks upgraded to SSS items (single piston, but a fair amount bigger.) The car came with a drum brake rear end and piddly little front calipers stock. It could do with better brakes but they still pull it up okay (even from 200kmp/h+) and I have other priorities.

Poles help?

Arse

Poles stop cars very quickly, much more effective than 8-Pots

web development, I'm guessing its the same thing Pat's goin for but a more junior role?

nah mines for a graduate engineering position in a flexible plastic packaging manufacturing company. (beer wrapping on 6packs and cadbury wrappers etc)

The tests were pretty lol, the maths questions were overwhelming haha

Ah well, will see what I got next week and if move to 3rd stage which is another interview zzzz

[paulr33]

i wouldnt stress too much re: getting the answers correct

i mean obviously there is merit testing your technical and maths etc for general assesment

but sometimes they give you bullshit ones where there is no correct answer

they do this to see your lateral thinking and problem solving tactics, even though there is no correct answer

ive done this a few times when interviewing techs, give them a problem and provide multiple choice where all the answers are wrong

the guy who stands one is the one who scribbles near it trying to debunk the correct answer and goes on to discuss the possible causes etc, the ones you dont want just circle an answer or leave it blank

[ARTZ]

Kind of like the Men In Black movie where they have the test paper but no table or clipboard and WILL SMITH stands out because he is black..............

lol at men in black.

Yeah, will see how it goes.

On another note, my dad blew up his mitsubishi express van engine.

Does anyone know where to get a replacement engine or another van? I see hundreds of them on the roads yet there is nothing on ebay, carsales, carpoint, autotrader.

I guess people selling them are old tradies and dont bother advertising online.. Where would be the best place to search for these vans? Probably notice boards at pubs or something haha
