Deffs not mad , I got mates who did 4 years of uni running 300-400mjllion dollar sites and the laborer earns more. That's is not a sustainable business model

I think the wages will tumble the pipeline of work is tiny so you will have way more workers than projects so people will bid lower for contracts profit margins get squeezed from top to bottom gold coast is a good example - not a single crane in the sky.

I tend to agree with al here... it happened with chef's over the years. if people are willing to work for less the wages will all eventually crumble. The union's think that industrial action will save them, but in reality it's just a temporary solution and will eventually head the push for more and more sites to use non unionised builders.

Strikes cant last if the strikers aren't getting paid anyway, and people like grollo (who has on many occasions used non union builders) know this. he will just wait. afterall he can afford to lose as much money as it takes during the strike, whereas the builders can not.

You'd be amazed how people will change their moral stance on things like strikes or doing jobs that they feel are beneath them when we tell them they have 31 days before we foreclose on their house.

people like accountants etc that eat at successful restaurants regularly and see the owners strutting around eating, drinking having a good time etc get very misled about the hospitality industry.

They think that their office jobs are "long hours" and "tiring" that owning a restaurant will be an awesome lifestyle change, and it is, but only by the 1940's definition of awesome. :rofl:

In reality they spend their life savings on a poorly thought out restaurant, spend the next 3 years doing 100 hour weeks and stressing like they have never stressed before, and then losing everything when the place closes down.

end of the day, it's a VERY small margin of new restaurants that even survive, let alone do well.

Hospitality in Melbourne is the pure definition of an over saturated market. If you find a new niche and exploit it at the right moment, it IS possible to make serious money, but it's HARD work and very unlikely.

I know Ash probably doens't want to read this but unfortunatley it's how it is.

Ash, if you need any advice on this, you have my number

Bovis Lend Lease (I'm working on an LL site) held out for about a week, then they caved.

Grocon held on a bit longer but they gave in as well

exactly... it's just not possible unless you are managing to have money come in while you are striking...

also we are talking about people that run like little girls at the first sign of a few drops of rain... how much resolve can they really have? :P

You seem to be misunderstanding...

The builders caved, the CFMEU won the fight against Bovis, and Grocon backflipped accepting the talks that they turned down a few weeks earlier because they didn't think the strike would last.

I'll happily work in the rain, if it's safe to do so, but our EBA says we don't have to, so we don't. Morons take that as being soft.

get home at 5am, neighbour cuts grass at 7am....

my neighbour does shit like this as well 6:30am sunday decides its time to start installing sleepers with circular saws and a massive f**k of bolt hammer(god know why he needs it) I had enough last time and went out side and told him i'll be calling the council if it continues.

i dont mind if its kids playing in the back yard n shit - they're kids. but when your a f**king adult. next time my draw full of fireworks will be aimed at his house.

You've not lived till you've had Ash's Wang burger.

or is it you won't live after having the Wang burger.

meh

haha yeah cooking for 100 people on the DECA "BBQ" isn't the easiest thing in the world

Nice! What's the plan or can't reveal much at this stage?

As for tradies I rkn they are in a massive pay bubble cannot see long term sustainability of the wages, more so commercial sites

All will be revealed shortly.

Still a bit of legal to finish off - it's a good thing, a lot of homework has been done.

    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
    • The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?
