What happened to ya job birds?

I quit man, had been wanting to for years but just got too comfortable in it and was saving money really well. It was a piss easy job with perks (basically my own boss) and relaxed lifestyle...but family business = income / career path limited...not enough for the lifestyle I want. Onto bigger/better things and hopefully use the degree I spent 4 years earning!

Hmm should have my A grade by the end of the year, if all goes well I'm thinking some sort of ///M in a year. E60 M5 tuff

Rich mother f**ker

Gotta be sensible man :( can't say I'm not tempted though!

Edit: mirin mates rates

YOLO

Yeh fair point! I'm same in comfort zone massively but kinda hangin for a new challenge.

What's ya degree in?

Any of you engineering students doing mechanical engineering?

Mechanical engineering here.

It's tough, lots of contact hours, hardcore crazy !&@^$!@*%& maths....

Have to graduate with atleast 3months vacation/internship in the industry and do a final year project in your final year on a topic from your professors which needs to be researched and a thesis/ massive report. Mine was like 120pages without the appendix. Well that was from my uni atleast.

Quite a few people drop out in the first couple years, oh and don't think mechanical is anything like becoming a car mechanic. So many people think a mechanicAL engineer is a car mechanic. :unsure:

Also, girls in engineering is like a needle in the haystack.

^ Standard engineering fun times... :D

... :(

But end of the day, even if some things may be a complete mindf**k etc, other things (or maybe even the same things) are just pretty cool.

Yep, if you have the passion for engineering. You'll love it despite engineering screwing your mind over.

lol @ girls in eng

and you only have as many contact hours as you want to have :P

this semester i think i have 6.....

lol yeah, in first year i had 4 girls then by the last year only 1 girl went through from what I was aware off.

i think we had a few, couple were in aero tho

too hard to actually keep track of whos still around after 3rd year anyway, 4th year is just lazy elective time :D

we had quite a few girls doing engineering in my year (melb chem eng)

including one who we found out was a stripper at Bar 20 at nights...

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
