Hey guyz,

just wondering if any of you know if your work place needs someone to work?

Been looking for a job for a long time and cant find one...

Went for an interview at BP the other day and got an email back sayin i was successfull but there are no vacant positions at the moment and if they have any they will contact me (and they say it might take 2 months)... why call someone for an interview when you already know there arent any positions. Pissed me off.

I managed to get a programming job but the employer needed someone to work full time and i cant work full time coz of visa conditions.

anyways looking for a job in retail... something like in supermarkets, fast food, warehouse.. bleh

Just need some extra cash for extra expenses on car and other stuff as the cash my parents send is not enough for the things i want to do such as car mods lol.... i cant ask them to send me extra coz they will just say "Piss off, you are there to study not to blow money on the car"

anyways any help will be appreciated.

Cheers..

Vish.

i was thinking Bristile /Austral is all full time and to start they get them from integrated or they used to when i worked at the Malaga plant as an operator.

Try Caltex they always need staff and they use lots of Uni students etc .

Or if you go on Antilag forums in the off topic section they have a jobs board and quite often Carlton United are looking for warehouse staff on there as a member is in charge of job placement etc.

Was it you a while ago asking about work at JB Hifi ?

Try someone like them ... back in the day when I worked for them I was offered a job before I was even given the form to fill out for police clearance....none of this 3 month wait + induction + training day shit that the bigger companies like Coles / Woolworths put you through (worked for Woolies as well).

Some shopping centre websites list any vacancies their stores have too, Google the nearest big shopping centre, if they've got a website you might get lucky ?

Thanx for info L-Boyd, Gazza and Nic,

Yeah Nic it was me asking bout the JB hifi one... they were looking for full time so i couldnt get it as i told them i needed part time when i went for the interview.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
