Hey Dezz, come work in the mines. Big money if you don't have family in mind.

Nah not for me. Sure you can make some cash but f**k that working 2/3/4 weeks straight shit 12 hour days etc...If I worked those hours here I'd make the same amount of cash...

I can make enough here to keep me happy without having to move to the desert and have no life..

the spray gun and liquid wrap arrived today. looks the goods! I'm pretty excited.

went to autobarn and grabbed some plasti dip glossifier. all plasti dip stock is $30, was pleasantly surprised. however they wanted $240 for 3.4L of the non aerosol paint :/

Anyone know a good machinist/turner that can cut some new circlip rings in my Bilsteins? I'd go to Quadrant but they want $35 a cut and are out in Berwick which is a trek for me.... Closer to inner suburbs would be bettahhh..

true that, you would have to work 2 weeks on (1wk Day & 1wk Night) & 1 week off.

However if you do the maths... 2weeks * 12hrs = 168hrs worked over 3 weeks (2 weeks on + 1 week off) = 168hrs / 3weeks = 8hrs/day (incl weekends)

So it works out to be 8hrs/day on average (over the year) but you end up on a salary around the $100,000 - $200,000 mark - http://iminco.net/mining-job-salaries-how-much-can-you-earn-mining-careers/

but you're only home every 3rd weekend if you look at it from the other side haha

...and you have to move to Perth, who would do that :P

Spieth Engineering in Baywaster has cut circlip rings for Bilsteins before.

So thread has been inactive for two hours.

I'm watching a doco about the Fairlady Z on youtube. Just mentioned the fact that the Korean War was basically what kept the Japanese car industry and Nissan in business. So without the Americans, we wouldn't have Skylines.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • 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.
