I had this but gave it up for experience & challenge

Nothing worse than being bored/comfortable at work within your peak years. This is the time to explore, challenge and make mistakes.

Work to live or live to work.

I prefer to be challenged at work as long as its paid well. Hence why I'm off to the mines.

9days @ 12hrs & 5 days off.

Come at me brah

yeah each to there own, I consider myself lucky I like what I do, am good at it and earn a decent enough quid out of it.

Median wage for 2012 I think is about $50,000

Or $60,000 for full time employees

Still quite high imo

You can live quite comfortably if you were a couple on $60k each. That's if you dont have a big arse mortgage

The Min wage to wait on tables full time, is 44k/yr or 47.5/k if you add in the super. That doesn't include any overtime etc.

Even that wage isn't bad as a couple to be basically on 90k combined if you are living/working out in the burbs. Agree CBD travel would suck to the outers (40mins+ on train for eg if you chose to do that)

This country is f**king wages insane.

Exactly

Money should never be the only motivator for work because the high will wear off and you will be working more hours making you even more depressed.

Motivator should be doing what you like and expecting the company to provide the respect and recognition of what you put in.

That way both parties win.

not a smoker myself.

oh so hookers then :P

infact I was planning on watching Anthony bourdain's the layover for Amsterdam tonight!

cool... good episode that one... his constant statements about not being stoned are classic

look into the houseboat idea

My view has always been people in this country are overpaid for a lot of jobs.

My base rate at my old job was 55k per year and i had a f**ktonne more responsibility than someone waiting on a table for only 9k difference!

I couldnt/wouldnt work in hospitality. Plenty of other jobs with less skills and shitloads more bludging, I think waiting on a table earns their dollar (in some restaurants) and thats why i dont tip :P

Agree with this. I don't know what people do with their money...blow it on unnecessaries, alcohol on the weekend, or overseas trips? Would love to see some monthly budgets!

When I was working a 40k a year job and my mate was on 80k, we were both living at home and both putting away 2k a month in savings...go figure!!!

I understand inflation and cost of living rising, but it's been slower than the wages surely. We now have office secretary / admin roles bringing 60k to the table and people still think that's too low. How can people feel they deserve so much for so little? Still have 50k planted in my head as a decent salary from when I was a kid lol. If people can't get by on 100k combined these days, they either have some serious addictions, or are living way outside their means / have high expectations about what it means to be a young couple.

    • 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.
