yeah I was born in 81...

 

alinche... I'll b seein u at uni :cheers: whatever you do make sure you buy a red pass for your parking permit you'll be much happier having spent that extra 70 bucks. wut course u doin? I'm doin Comp Sci/Graphic Design.

Im doing info systems/business. Thanks for the parking tip hehe. By the way im doxx's friend, the one who came to a few meets with him :D Hope to see you around at uni.

Not that I'm all that surprised, but looking at all of your education standards and seeing that most of you had tertiary education I've come to the conclusion that I'm the dumbest c*** on this forum by a f***ing long way.

yeah mate but you can throw a ball better than most of them!

Al... we drive GTS's n GTSt's n u drive a GTR... who needs a tertiary qualification when you have a GTR? Personaly it dun matter what you do or how you get your money, as long as you value your place in society and do your job to its fullest.

But on the other hand you could get a loan for a GTR and then live on bread and water for the next 5 years while you make the repayments on an average wage :D

But clarkey seems to be well off enough to afford one comfortably.

People that have degrees do not always make the big $$ or are smart coz a lot of people that have multiple degrees are only good in the theoretical world of uni. When it comes to the real world and real world problems they are useless in those situations.

I recently found out that a guy I used to go to high school with is now making 150K a year. He was not smart and infact he went to work for Telstra straight out of high school laying cables, then he did some IT course and got a lucky break somehow and now is some supervisor in a big IT company and making the big $$.

thats right

the only reason I did a second degree is cos I was getting shit jobs after I graduated from the first one....you really dont need a tertiary qualification if you have brains and business skills...and Id say if ur driving a GTR you have em :(

Obviously you haven't met him! :D

:flamed:

Just joshin Alan! Personally I reckon tertiary degree's are overated. I only say this cause I have one and know it means shit all! Id rather have a GTR and a good throwing arm over a degree any day! :D

well al has excellent mobility in his right arm... hehe

nah this was when we all met up at the last cruise, al was by far the best vortex thrower of us all... danny was next best but he bitched for the next week or so abot his arm so he dun count... :(

if you compare society to ants, ants always have drones, workers and soldiers, without one of em the other two get f**ked up... same with society... you need people doing jobs other than high paying IT jobs... respect to those that go down that path too I know I wouldn't last a day doing that.

What really shits me are people who judge by the job you do and look down on others that earn less. I know a few guys who's dad's do 300% more manual labour as plumbers than any high rolling white collar worker. And yet these guys are so rich their grand children are set for life, they can retire any day yet they still go out and do the same old job with the same dedication...

getting a little off-topic I think...

btw there aren't that many high paying IT jobs anymore...its just another industry now, which in many parts is struggling!

now get back to SKOOL :( [threads]

I know alot of extremely wealthy people and I would say 80% or so dont have a uni degree... The wealthiest of them all dont, full stop.

You are either born with business smarts or your not. To be successful at uni the only skill u need is to be good at memorising facts, this is the reason many grads are useless at real world dealings as denham already said.

An interesting fact is that there is a huge number of lawyers driving taxi's in each state in australia.

Not that I'm all that surprised, but looking at all of your education standards and seeing that most of you had tertiary education I've come to the conclusion that I'm the dumbest c*** on this forum by a f***ing long way.

Well someone has to clean the toilets... :(

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
