Good thing about commercial/industrial is they get you doing actual work straight away where as in domestic unless you're working for a relative or friend you're basically a labourer for the first year or so doing just the crap stuff like digging, cleaning up, getting tools etc.

You start tafe next year yeah? Hope you like using the reg book lol

Always heard the opposite, that you get lost in big companies and end up being a cleaner/labourer for the first year, whereas in domestic you get thrown straight into wiring up houses coz it's just u and the boss or 1 a grader etc. But yeah so far it's been good, the other guy that started with me has been cutting/filing cable tray so I'm sure I'll cop that soon enough. Gotta be done.

And I read AS 3000 before bed

yeah maybe if its just you and the boss he'd have no choice if he has no other more experienced apprentices but most of em dont wanna waste time teaching while working just want you there as an extra pair of hands

And I read AS 3000 before bed

Cute

Holy f**k Twin Turbo 300ZX's are cheap!!!

Having to pull out all the drivers side intakes and shit to get to the PS lines/pump 5 or so times did my head in but now for some reason I want one, Stockholm Syndrome?

Never filed cable tray before, makes sense though I guess haha

I'm a 2nd year at a domestic/industrial/commercial company. Mainly doing bunnings stores at the moment.

Small company = learn more

Big company = earn more

Depends what's most important to you IMO, I get the bare minimum award wage, but I learn a hell of a lot more than people I go trade school with who earn a fair bit more than me, but it's an apprenticeship so I'd rather gain as much knowledge as possible and then earn more than them in the long run haha

Summer is just around the corner. Shoulda started a lil while ago lol

I'll take a tray load. no homo.

Yeh I did start about a month or so ago, don't get me wrong I'm definately seeing results just want that little bit more, I guess I gotta work that little bit harder and eat that little bit better / more. Guess there is no tricks for speed other than that or roids as Alex said :P but then you get shrinkage amirite?

and after replacing all the balljoints and bushes on one, it ain't gonna be cheap anymore.

Agree and disagree...

Not just a case of 'what's most important', for some it's a matter of what they can/can't afford to do. I'm 25, almost 26, and have a mortgage...So domestic/small company/non EBA is out of the question for me. Sure you might learn more to begin with, and probably wire neater, but it evens out in the long run (got mates in domestic, mid size companies and the big boys) after around the 2/3 year mark everyone is pretty much on a level playing field...At the end of the day you'll learn as much as you want to learn. I know I've only been there 2 days, but I can tell the guys I'm working with are happy to teach me as much as I want to learn, and aren't just using me as a labourer.

As for the pay side of it, a 3rd year apprentice on an EBA job makes more than a domestic A grade, so unless you own the business or you're doing work on the side, there's no comparison in the pays.

My mate is 3rd year and on $40 an hour....

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
