far out

my 33 costs me $169 a fortnight to run including insurance, rego and fuel

i can get a brand new dualis or cruze for 160 a fortnight on a lease with everything paid for, tyres, servicing, rego, insurance, fuel card etc

that nuts

According to Careerone the average wage for a fully qualified electrician in this perios is $94500 a year

EBA pays more than that, then add in all the allowances and OT :).

Summary on Flynn is my post on the previous page.

cos it just means i get a newer car and dont have to worry about suprise bills etc

rego is annoying when it comes and so is crap like buying tyres etc

to be fair the lease car costs around 330 a fortnight

but the tax benefit translates to -160 a fortnight in my paycheck

You know what mayne i only make $40k a year and very content. Good luck with the sparkie job and landing a EBA or what ever :)

I had to take my US trip on a credit card and looks like i might have to do the same again when i go in the next couple months :)

$160 a fortnight of tax saving you sure? Unless you are in a high tax bracket or do alot of kms salary sacrificing a MV may or may not be beneficial.

yeah ive checked it a few times

the pre tax cost is like 330 a fortnight and after tax is 160

im in a high tax bracket but only do about 15,000 a year

i got my 33 on a novated lease agessss ago and its a bit annoying, but the cost savings is stupid

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • 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
