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.

    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
