Melisa has a doe show on at the races for her friend

Lots of drinking and carry on

As for me I'm fixing cars on Sat and prob Sunday as well

Basically, just have to put the engine & gearbox back in. I think the only thing that i'm waiting on is for Paul to finish the exhaust (you should see the front pipe he made - absolutly awesome).

Aim is to have the car running by next sat/sun and then up to Jez's for a tune next time i have time off.

I plan to start a build thread eventually, might do it tonight after work if the internet holds out (its dodgy in port hedland)

I've already got my trade but not sure if the mines are the way to go or not with all the talk of downturns in prices and the boom being over etc

boom being over yet there still hiring people and cutting into mines? i dont care ill take 75k for 6 months work man.

im not looking to own the mine i just want to work there, why would i care if it closes?

personally, i think that is a massive load of shit. does every country all of a sudden not need coal??

Parts of the mine industry are flattening dude... It should pick up again in the near future I think. Mines are getting very tight in some areas, spending is down. My mate works for rio and was concerned for his job. The company I work for is 100% mine focused, and we are all and have been twiddling our thumbs for weeks!

^^^my flat mate got a redunency last week, does a similar sort of a job to you. There's just no project work in the hunter valley atm. it will pick up again - there's just a bit of oversupply atm.

sparky mate i can go anywhere (mackay) haha.

im not limiting myself to the hunter

Yea sounds good mate, the lull in the market is everywhere though (with regards to coal) as the price is shit, and it's cutting their profit margins I think..

But by Xmas / the new year I think it should be a lot better, and I reckon in your trade you will be fine.

our super secret meeting will determine the next one, will be hopefully startish october thatll make me happy haha

on another note doing a small photoshoot tonight if your keen pm me or jarrad for details

Are you working in the mines Sean? Get me a job next year when I get my trade?! :D

FIFO out of newy, 150k a year?

Hahaha

Nah mate, i sell cars to loaded miners though :)

FIFO is pretty huge up here, hard lifestyle though i wouldn't want to do it even though the money is insane.

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG is has not responded to my emails so far after purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
