You forgot one major thing though Al (and I know this is going to be a can'o'worms) but proximity to good public schools.

No f**king way my Kid is going to St Albans high just so I can have a bigger bedroom

Rabble rabble rabble

Do you know how many successful people had their schooling at St Albans high?

How dare you, you ignorant piece of shit

LOL

Seabrook primary (public) was / is ranked top 5 in Victoria for a couple of subjects.

Aside from that a number of schools here are well regarded and have better amenities.

But perhaps the $500+ thousand you save on your house can cover a $200k private education

I doubt Jonoe is turning down grad jobs cause it doesn't fit/low pay/hard work.

If he is, then harden the f**k up.

If he having trouble securing any grad job, he needs to make himself stand out amongst all the others.

And I stand by my comment of grad jobs. They are hired by HR under their budget & have no clue what makes a good engineer. All they can go off is uni marks which is only one dimension of a productive employee.

Best to go for full time job if you can talk the talk as you are hired by senior engineer & not some HR muppet.

f*k no, i have to get interviews for grad positions first. You'd be pretty stupid to turn down grad job these days in engineering. lol. Move around later on, not choose what u wanna do now. Just need that big foot in the door.

I'm gonna try network though my boss atm. Since we are technically a subbie. High exposure to multiple builders. Blah blah blah. I dont have much confidence in those general grad positions/programs. Sure i'm gonna try. But gonna rely more on getting something through the industry. Instead of applying for grad positions.

Yeah that's how it is in the engineering world.

I've had multiple eng grads reporting to me picked by HR department/budget. All they have is high uni marks & 0 world experience/people skills.

Better to push for industry/position rather than a grad program position but it doesn't hurt to apply for both.

Deets on this

- Forget about looking for bargains/trying to save a sneaky $5-10k for your budget. The longer you try to play games, the more chances someone with more money will show up. Commit to your budget, don't go over or be cheap by holding back.

- take a copy of contract after inspection, allows you to send through a written offer via email on the same day rather than waiting until Monday AM. Helps you get ahead of the interested parties.

- watch out for clauses in the contract, one contract wanted me to accept tenants which are being taken to VCAT by vendor. That's not my problem.

- Set a deadline Monday 5pm & don't settle for any later. Agents will scramble to find another interested party prior to deadline if you put forward an offer they can't risk losing. Being straight after the weekend inspection majority will be caught out.

- also if they reject your written offer & take the risk, the auction will have to start from your figure (as far as I'm aware). Which would drive a lot of people away as they can't under quote to lure people in.

- real estate agent wanted me to put in a written offer 10k less than what I initially said & to hold an auction on Tuesday. Although that could mean $10k less payment, it means he can lure in other buyers and create a mini auction. Told him this is my budget & im not playing any games, if someone offers $1 extra by 5pm Monday they can have it.

- what also helped was that it was an unlisted property soon to be put on market. Real estate agent wanted to gauge market interest prior to advertising. Dropped an offer for a price I knew it would go for before the public even knew it was on the market. He did have some interested parties but they wanted another inspection on Thursday. My deadline 5pm Monday put a stop to that.

No doubt my opinion is wrong & could have saved blah blah doing x,y,z. End of day, I'm happy with the result & the realestate ain't. :)

I shoot targets

They make less mess than animals

Yeah I dont see the point in shooting harmless animals...unless they are in plague proportions /costing you money/dangerous to your well being. Leave the poor animals alone.. You are no hero for shooting one, wanna be a hero, go take it down with your bare hands... If it has teeth or claws you can take a knife...

Cleaning up the tool kit atm, as it's driving me nuts finding things.

other than a pouch any-one seen some smart ways to store spanners?

kit is my track kit so gets bounced around so non slip or thin plastic trays just not last.

Its a Nissan ...you need a 10/12/14/17. Pretty much covers everything, how hard can it be to store 4 spanners...throw a shifter in for good luck

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
