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

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.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
