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

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?

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
