4k manual TT will be a piece of shit IMO. Been a while since I looked at zeds but the manual TT always held their value pretty well; I'd be shelling out ~10k for a decent one.

As for the pay side of it, a 3rd year apprentice on an EBA job makes more than a domestic A grade, so unless you own the business or you're doing work on the side, there's no comparison in the pays.

My mate is 3rd year and on $40 an hour....

Reminds me of Ruffels... mother f**ker is rolling in it

It must be cheap cos the engine is still in

Yeh I did start about a month or so ago, don't get me wrong I'm definately seeing results just want that little bit more, I guess I gotta work that little bit harder and eat that little bit better / more. Guess there is no tricks for speed other than that or roids as Alex said :P but then you get shrinkage amirite?

Just eat lots and work out really.

Or drink lots of milk if you can't stomach the food.

Where's he working? Big company or got his own business?

Seems to have a few cars/bikes/boats...

He's with an agency (Frontline)... 4th year atm I believe, but he's EBA/commercial so as you said the money is off the chain.

Yeah too many toys for his own good lol

If global economic climate doesn't improve I think these unions will have priced themselves out of jobs my mates who run the major sites are not getting any work laying kents off left right n centre it costs to much to build in Victoria sure u get the odd cash cow west gate / desal plant when it's good it's good but I had mates on west gate before that no work for 6 odd months was doing handy man shit to keep busy and earning

And before anyone has a cry, I'm not paying out on domestic, just saying there's more to it than those that want to learn more and those who want more money...

In the end of the day, it's worthwhile if you enjoy the job.

For me, I'm not picky as I desperately want to leave Coles so anything better than domestic is a bonus.

lol if you're an A grade with your own business running domestic and making less then commercial/industrial then there's something seriously wrong with your business

I know of domestic A graders making on average $10K+ a week clean in hand ;)

$10K a week. Sheittt...

Do they all drive Fezza's and Lambos too?

lol the engine bays all been resprayed, not worth the asking price imo.

I wouldn't pay 15k for ANY commodore, let alone one that's 23 years old... but it's a fair way better than all the lebo spec thrashers out there

I dunno...Safety (employee and environment) is a big thing these days...The little guys aren't gonna get the big jobs because they aren't up to the standards the big builders demand...

I did say 'unless you own the business'...

when it comes to timing belt time? =(

Yeah :/ replacing all the external belts wasn't too bad with the radiator out though.

Quick look at Carsales says you're probably right. It'd still be alright to thrash about in till it went bang though.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
