Any Apprentice Or Recently Qualified Boilermakers On Here?


Recommended Posts

i love that this thread has had some new life injected into it... by a fitter! :P

i do almost zero welding at work, and when i do its only ever arc. i have never touched a mig or a tig at work... i do muck about with them at home though :ninja:

im thinking about buying a unimig procraft 240... any of you guys used one?

btw, good luck with the new job blaqqy, most rods are a work of art- so now your an artist :P

Thanks guys, im f**king pumped to start the new job! rapt as!

daleo - yes pride definatley has something to do with it, if your company does anything for CSL or is in the dairy industry then theres a high possibility.... although we were a new zealand owned company (spew)

No CSL, but I used to work for Dairy Farmers, we installed $42 million in upgraded plant 2 years ago.

16x 11000 litre batching & pre filler storage tanks and about 11tybillion metres of stainless pipework, That was a fun job...:whistling:

just wondering how many boiler makers do we have on here???

Ok i'll admit it, I'm a boiler maker/welder lol....Still haven't met one who drives a GTR, feel like I'm one out in a crowd when I pull up on site.

    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well  
    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
