4k manual TT will be a piece of shit IMO. Been a while since I looked at zeds but the manual TT always held their value pretty well; I'd be shelling out ~10k for a decent one.

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....

Reminds me of Ruffels... mother f**ker is rolling in it

It must be cheap cos the engine is still in

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?

Just eat lots and work out really.

Or drink lots of milk if you can't stomach the food.

Where's he working? Big company or got his own business?

Seems to have a few cars/bikes/boats...

He's with an agency (Frontline)... 4th year atm I believe, but he's EBA/commercial so as you said the money is off the chain.

Yeah too many toys for his own good lol

If global economic climate doesn't improve I think these unions will have priced themselves out of jobs my mates who run the major sites are not getting any work laying kents off left right n centre it costs to much to build in Victoria sure u get the odd cash cow west gate / desal plant when it's good it's good but I had mates on west gate before that no work for 6 odd months was doing handy man shit to keep busy and earning

And before anyone has a cry, I'm not paying out on domestic, just saying there's more to it than those that want to learn more and those who want more money...

In the end of the day, it's worthwhile if you enjoy the job.

For me, I'm not picky as I desperately want to leave Coles so anything better than domestic is a bonus.

lol if you're an A grade with your own business running domestic and making less then commercial/industrial then there's something seriously wrong with your business

I know of domestic A graders making on average $10K+ a week clean in hand ;)

$10K a week. Sheittt...

Do they all drive Fezza's and Lambos too?

lol the engine bays all been resprayed, not worth the asking price imo.

I wouldn't pay 15k for ANY commodore, let alone one that's 23 years old... but it's a fair way better than all the lebo spec thrashers out there

I dunno...Safety (employee and environment) is a big thing these days...The little guys aren't gonna get the big jobs because they aren't up to the standards the big builders demand...

I did say 'unless you own the business'...

when it comes to timing belt time? =(

Yeah :/ replacing all the external belts wasn't too bad with the radiator out though.

Quick look at Carsales says you're probably right. It'd still be alright to thrash about in till it went bang though.

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
