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.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
