I don't know how you do it. Been in Sydney 2 days and feels like I've spent majority of time travelling to and from the airport. The 1 hour flight still manages to drag on, sitting towards the back of the plane you can't hear your music properly (good in-ear headphones but not noise cancelling). Airports are f**king shit. I hope you get paid well because I probably wouldn't do it even if getting paid solid money

Not to mention time wasted in the hotel. Same old breakfast everyday. Living out of a carry bag.

Better than staring at the same 4 walls in an office every day though!

that said I'm not trying to complain about my job, I've been employed for a decent wage for 15 odd years.

yes some days/weeks suck, tell me a job that doesn't

next week is a cruisey week to catch up and will have change to drop into the local fabricator and hopefully get seat mount sorted and such in middle of the day.

this makes up for the occasional shit day/s

hell could be worse, growing up during calving season old man had to check on the heard every 2 hours max..for 2-3 weeks straight. still prefer what I am doing anyday.

plus I get to wear cufflinks made out of a honda F1 car.

Lol businessman gift

Yeah... And also no. Airports are like hospitals with Windows. Can't wait to get out but youre stuck there. Office work you get to go home every night, find decent coffee, your own desk, can bring own lunch and find a quiet place to eat.

(I would take a desk job over airport/flying job if paid same money) lots of airport/travel time digs into personal time. Some people don't care as long as their getting paid, but to me, time doing your own thing is time much better spent.

I can't imagine Martin's life of every plane and airport blurring into one when looking back on years as they pass

IN the scheme of things I chose this job.

I have no rights to comalin about it.

and in reality I get enough head hunters calling me that at the end of the day if I was unhappy with it I could move on easily.

but other than airports I love my job.

still asking for a pay raise tho....

How many gb?

I retired my old H-pattern motif cufflinks now that I have dat 6-speed

Workmate got me a sweet Hugo Boss pair as a gift, now I feel somewhat obligated to wear them all the time lol #versacevase

and we can see who the geek here is....

You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

  • Like 6

Don't look too bad for a gimmicky gadget actually

Sitting in my qantas business seat waiting for take off here

Refurbished cabin too so fresh leather

Take a selfie.

Catching the qantas red eye tonight to Melbs.

I have a complementary Virgin gold card, how do I trade with someone for a qantas club entry?

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
