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

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
