Come on guys, get on it... You know how these things normally go, once we hit 5 or 6 people on the thread it starts to snowball into a big thing

Sure beats the crap out of 1st year junior apprentice $7.44/hour award.

how is that allowed? I know electrician apprentices often get shit-all, but a quick check on PayCheck Plus for full-time junior apprentice is over $15 an hour. i dun geddit.

Tell that to the thousands being made redundant

its sad thats theres so many positions disappearing, but not much different from food or manufacturing industry.

That is a really chitty pay mate

Don't know how they pay you less than a bloke that just flips burgers

How many years before you on a normal wage of say $50K p.a?

My first job in a call centre was $19 an hour I think :\ (20 years old)

Pretty shitty job too.

I worked weekends for time and a half and they had some 'issues' (bugs) with the payroll system so ended up on about 64k p.a

Terrible job though quit under a year.

at least you get paid something while you learn, unlike dem uni fees.

Yeah there's a difference between Uni + Part Time Job and Full Time and getting paid the same amount for twice the hours... Normally not left with a $30,000 debt at the end of it though I suppose

Still have to pay for tafe doe.

Edit: and really I learnt just as much about a different field as a labourer earning 50k a year. Spending a week at tafe out of every month although paid is for the most part a massive waste of time. Units rated at 60 hours and such really only take maybe 2 hours to complete and then the rest of the day is spent sitting twiddling thumbs waiting for a teacher who's busy with other students (because classes are far too large and teachers are far too few so the tafe stays profitable) to sign you off so you can go onto the next assesment.

that's baller money... there is overtime etc

when I did my cheffing apprenticeship, first year was $7.20/h flat rate - paid for 38 hours and working ~80

Lol Pat has a cry about Hamish demonising FIFO bogans... nek minit all public servants lazy and useless. Gooby pls

Completely different industry, never done any overtime as a mechanic.Although I'm sure it happens some places in my experience everyone seems rather more concerned with packing up 15 mins before knock off.

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
