Brazil is much over rated.

and dangerous...

and a bloody bloody long flight(s)

for north brazil will be:

Melb -> syd

Syd -> santiago chile

santiago -> brasilia

brasilia -> mine..

count on 2 days at least.

ouch, the adventure sounds fun, but it will probably wear off after a couple of months..

considering Ill be living on the mine site, its not like I can do tourist things on the weekend.

doesn't 28 on mean you don't have a weekend anyway

lol they're letting you apply the new policy proactively?

I lose 2 of the 12 weeks that I have already used up as secondary carers leave

it is to be applied once the mother's leave has finished, so sept/oct/nov

doesn't 28 on mean you don't have a weekend anyway

yeah what I meant is that I don't have any time to experience the country so the appeal of the destination is mute.

The difference would be the commute time as pointed out.

yeah I got pinned @ ~135 in a 100 on the way back from the first buller cruise and he dropped it down to 19 over or something so I wouldn't lose my license.

It was just an overtake move :/

Country cops FTW!

Fk country cops

Whenever I get pulled over by them they make a big thing about me being from the "city". We don't take kindly to people like you fkin up our peaceful little town blah blah

How dare I cross over double lines to park at 2am with no one in sight

  • Like 1

FARKEN LOL

1st day back at work after 8 weeks off paid and a new policy is introduced that new dad's get 12 weeks paid.

looks like i'll be having more time at home!!!

Heard about this on Q and A lastnight...which was a disgusting feminist fest by the way...featuring an all female panel to make a point about female CEOs. Could have played a drinking game with the irrational contradictions that flowed through. Some of these idiots actually believe that females have a glass ceiling in industries where more managers are men...but in industries where there are more females in management, that's just because it's a "female dominant industry". I wanted to shove Lego bricks down their throats.

Anyway, I went off on a bit of a tangent there. Lucky you, Hamish.

Do employers HAVE to pay extra for working a public holiday (yesterday?) mrs worked it and now shes being told shes just getting paid normal rates.. (a casual if that makes any difference)

I was under the impression that employers had to at least pay time and a half??

Dunno about that, but they can't force someone to work on a public holiday

I thought organisations did it because it was hard to get casuals to work on them with normal rates

depending on your contract they can.

When I was help desk at telstra you could not say didn't want to work a public holiday, they would laugh at you. the helpdesk must go on.

prob same for nursing and such.

yeah, thing is they asked if anyone wanted to work it so it wasn't 'forced'

nek minit not paying any extra (She does like insurance claim stuff for a large insurance company)

I am required to work all public holidays. China doesn't stop because its Easter/Christmas.

No additional pay as its part of the contract.

    • 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/
