i guess that means no more bludging and less skyline time lol :(  

You dont know how wrong you are!! Some people find getting up at the crack of noon hard but not me! Uni life is good life.

One piece of advice that I've found thru experience is workout if the course is right for you early. Many of my friends went into courses because they wanted to have a particular title, they knew there was money at the end of it, or the course name sounded good. Eg a mates sister wanted to do Aviation coz "It sounds fun". Her problem was she hated physics and maths. She then wondered why she couldnt find the motivation to do the work and hence kept failing. Another friend started 2 uni degrees, a tafe course and dropped out of all 3. He is now doing Mech Eng and averaging 92% and aiming for 1st Class honours. Something to think about.

Anyways, Have Fun!

yeah i go to uni, just finished first year

i love it, so much fun to be had every single day!

i live on campus so its a lot more fun and means waking up 5 minutes b4 class and arriving ontime!

my tip, u can miss lectures every so often but yeah try not to miss any tutes! they are the things dat matter!!!

and yeah i did no work until the week b4 exams, only failed 2 subjects out of 8 all year

2 much :P i think

Compared to year 12 uni is sooo easy. Just be smart and do a little work and you'll pass everything. I hardly do any uni work, work at a bar 3 times a week and do an Arts/Mech eng double degree and havent failed anything yet in 3 years, not even come close.

And you can have mini SAU meets at uni, thats what we've done at monash. :D

il cya at melbourn dude, i just fell a year beghind... HA im drunk HA, cya there, ima gunnat take u to the pub and show u a girl i know by the name of quincy, and she swallows..................................

lol sounds good mate :devil: what course u doing?

Uni was fun.

Some work... but not much. Not compared to the real world anyway...

Enjoy it while you can :devil:

Engineering - E'Week Beer-lympics were a highlight.

You'll drink a lot.

Well your uni life is 10 times easier by not going to F*CKING RMIT IN THE CITY!!! THE SHITTEST UNI TO EVER GRACE THE FAIR LAND OF MELBOURNE!! ahhh..... So yeah. ...

I'm doing Bachelor of Design (Multimedia Systems) - Sounds swanky, it's shit. Basically i'm just using this post as an outlet for my uni frustration so i better bring it back on topic. As GTR-R34 said, grab yourself some friends if u don't already know anyone in the course. I was lucky/unlucky in a way in that i started my course with 2 guys from school who i'd been friends with for yonks. But doing a computer type course, trying to socialise with ppl is hard. Can't seem to find the time to leave their computers!!! :) Anyways, Melbourne def has more of a "campus" feel than RMIT institute for the retards. So i think socially you shouldn't have anything to worry about at Melb. And like the other said, don't worry about the work. Nothing compared to yr 12.

Oh.. also, this is uni so if one of your tutors/lecturers/whatever is shit, tell them they are shit. You're not going to get a detention. Half my people couldn't a) speak english B) teach c) both. It's very satisfying to tell teacher-type people exactly what you think about their inability to teach :D

So far for me, uni hasn't been anything special, and really, no great difference from school. And i guess i'm one of the few who won't look back on it as the "greatest time of their life"

cheers.

EDIT: I'm waiting for Smallville to d/l so i thought i'd make that post hella long. Oh.. and Kristin Kruek is HOT!! ;)

I think Uni goer's are bums and have no right to bitch.

Adz- " Look at the hollidays and time you get all this time off and the social life"

Uni goer - "Yeah but we get assignments and i spend all my time on them and blah stress blah exams blah blah"

Adz- "Bull Sh*t, You have no set wake up time on your LONG time off, you DONT have to drive to work every morning in peak hour traffic and you dont have to deal with customers every day so quit your f*cking bitching!" :D:)

Hehehe my 2c

PS - Oh yeah RMIT is the biggest hell hole waste of space in the UNIVERSE!!!!!

Hey, being a uni student myself i think i have to rebut your argument there adz.

Most uni students work as well, im working 1 full time job at the moment over summer plus my usual 15 hour a week casual job. Ive only had 2 weeks holiday, if u can count working 15 hours a week a holiday.

Also, having a fulltime job is pretty cruisy if u have one of those jobs where you just drop everything at 5pm and go home. Your weekend is yours, after work you never have homework, its pretty easy.

But i do agree that dealing with customers is worse than uni. Exspecially working at a resturant and having to explain to a pregnant lady why there is a little sharp piece of plastic in her caesar salad.

i rekon its so much easier walking into a job each day knowing what needs to be done just doing it then going home and FORGETTING about it all... like who cares if u had a **** customer for the day, big deal, what about if u got a **** assignment

BUT i rekon everything is as bad as each other, unis got its ups n downs, so does working, lifes a bitch, dig it!

Yeah ok goog point but then again I guess it all depends on what type of work you do hey. Oh and assignments dont bit your head off and hassel you on mobile on the weekends do they. Some people dont have the lessuire of "forgetting" about work when they go home because all that work you forgot about its there when u head back. But meh, Work can be good and bad, same as uni. I say they both suck, lets just party! :(

Waah Waah - uni is hard. Boo hoo - I have homework.

We all had to work summer jobs and then part-time semester jobs when at uni - you're not the first. Uni is a blast. You'll meet great people, drink heaps of beer, sleep with some great chicks - enjoy it!

Make the most of it now - the real world is not the 'leave at 5, never on weekends' utopia some make it out to be. Hell - I'm at work right now :(

And despite popular theory - I don't spend ALL my time whoring forums :)

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
