Mining Consultant (Metallurgist)

Presently working in the middle of China - Good, bad and ugly.

Good - US$ and little tax - I should have me a GRT by the end of the year

Bad - middle of bloody no where, few other expats, crickets for dinner....

Ugly - 12 hour days, 120 days straight

I represent  a manufacturer of printers, look after WA,SA & NT.  

The GTST is my 'work car' if the tax dept ever asks any of you. I get a car allowance for it. And those mods I did are actually "repairs" to worn out components.:rolleyes:

i need a job like this or become a contracter so i can pull the same swifty on the tax office.

I have similar deal, as I am a contractor with my own Pty Ltd. My company owns the car and I have to pay FBT on it, but if your modifying (oops I meant repairing) you come out in front. Other bonus in WA is multi-nova infringements get sent to company, and you are asked politely to inform them who the driver was. There is no law obligating the company to tell them, so you just ignore it and they go away. I have had two of these I ignored over 2 years back, so no fine/demerits/record that may effect insurance.

    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
