I know a few people who did uni subjects in year 12 and they all got marks of 95-100. Its coz uni is so much easier than year12. dark im sure youll go better than you think up against all those uni students who just drink all the time.

There are way to many people in IT and alot of em dont know shit either!

Going for the big bux job hey?

Amen to that, I work in IT for a hardwaresoftware sales and support company and I tell you what I could have half of the jobs of our clients in-house IT co-ordinators, they are dumb as dog sh*t. It is far to crowded now.

Thats because of those computer power training courses that tries to teach people who have never seen a computer before to be tech's in a few months and them get them a job when they really dont know what they are doing.

And then on the other hand you get the computer geeks that do a 2 year tafe course with a fancy name which teaches you basic stuff and then they get jobs trying to sort out problems they wouldnt have a clue about.

try ringing up dell tech support, the call goes to india, enough said!

haha.. same with HP (i think) and also telstra... lots of companies do it because it saves the money on employment costs, and they can give ppl jobs over in india

lol funny thing is, most techies in india are attending or have attended MIT, which amongst other things is ranked number 2 in the world for IT degrees, and number 1 outside the US. If any of them were to come over here to work, they would not only know more than us, they'd also be much more highly qualified than most of the managers running around in the IT industry.

But, by the same token due to oversaturation, there is no room for them to come over here, and thus they work in india in callcenters...

Theres are about 5 Indian PLC programmers working at the building joining ours on the new PLC Holden Engine plant in Adelaide. Its a sub division of my company.

I was getting a coffee in the lunch room and started talking to one of the guys and he asked me how long i have been in aus, i said 20 years. So i asked him the same question and he said 1.5 weeks, of which 1 week he was working!!

They may know their IT stuff but know farkall about geography of australia :P

F*** uni!

advice tho: dun go overboard partying(heheh..yah rite..)...go to classes (esp. if ur an international!!!) make friends with the smart kids in class... dun matter if they're geeks or loud or whatever... long as ur passing everything have as much fun as u like...i found out the hard wayyy....not like yr12 at all... couldn't party my b*lls off and pass everything.... n 1st years a bludge...get all the partying out of ur system then!!!

PS - seeing everyone else (friends and peeps) graduate and still having 2 yrs to go is..... feels .... f*cked. keep passing aite!!!!!!!

can't believe i found my fails funny then... bloody st*ner......

PS - i think the right course is directly linked to ur motivation.... been doin accounting for 4 years now...and am only going into 2nd yr... sheesh

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
