So any-one know what working culture NAB is like?

about two weeks ago they forced win 7 onto all the desktops without telling staff overnight

then they had to restore crap from backups etc as people lost their data

1) poor strategy

2) poor comms

3) local data risk

4) v behind basic OS lifecycle schedule

but otherwise its probably good

i applied for a role there a few weeks ago

i know two other people who work there too

Unrelated:

Today switched from 50,000km old KU31 235s on the front and nearly bald R1R 265s on the rear to AD08 255s and AD08R 265s respectively.

Wow what a transformation. Those tyres are unbelievably good value for the $220 each they cost me. So much corner grip it's ridiculous; just turns in so well with the 255s up front. And finally a set of road tyres that can hold my 2nd gear all the way through - time to break out the G-tech again Leigh :P

Mind you, those KU31 are an incredibly hard wearing tyre. Still 40% tread left on these. Awesome value for a daily driver not pushing too much power.

Let me know how you go!

I wish we tried it again when I had NT05s on

interesting.

got an offer from them on friday.

not sure if I want to work at a bank tho.

Not if you pay enough money to AASA... There is NO WAY we'd be able to get insurance for 4 people in a car with no helmets and 30 on the track at a time... but they classify it as a Cruise Event and it's all fine apparently...

im glad people are doing it off the street (though i doubt many at the event save it for the track anyway), but surely there has to be a better way of holding such an event without damaging a racetrack.

Don't be silly, they've all practiced on racetracks while holding selfie sticks with go pros

Lol what a load of bullshit.

We have been rolling out win 7 for about 6 months now and it comes on a new laptop entirely. The few desktops that remain are still running XP.

Before moving to win 7 you get 11ty billion emails explaining exactly what to do, when and how.

Nab is great. Work/life balance is amazing and the culture is very strong. Most people stuck around for a LONG time. We do pay less than the other 3 however generally have higher bonuses

(Which kinda backfires when you we buy failing banks in England and have to provision hundreds of millions then cut bonuses lol)

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
