sparky mate i can go anywhere (mackay) haha.

im not limiting myself to the hunter

There's loads of work up here but it's a shit town to live in, the only attraction is the pubs and titty bar.

The mines up here certainly do not seem to be slowing down, if anything some of them are getting bigger. Jobs won't be slowing down up here for a long time to come.

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

Too much wild life around at night,and my liner is filthy. :action-smiley-069:

Awesome to hear Sean,

I'd only be able to do FIFO I got a house and a girl down here. 7 on 5 off would be ok, depends on the roster I can get. 6 month stint maybe 1 year or more if I like it?

Might buy a car off ya :P

A lot of the blokes do the FIFO. From what i've heard the rosters are pretty good you can choose from a variety but i guess it depends on the individual. I don't know a lot about the mines but i do talk to many miners each week being in the 4X4 and Commercial industry. I have a mate that's 19 does 5 on 5 off and makes $2500 a week driving a dump truck and he loves it!

a few guys up here do FIFO from coffs Harbour (Port hedland - perth, perth-sydney, sydney-coffs harbour) all flights paid for - so anythings possible

It real;ly depends on the company and what there willing to pay for.

yeah righto, hmm i could get the train haha f**k thats alot of traveling...

i honestly think id prefer qld, im guessing itd be a tad cooler and a tad less expensive and easier to get into? because everyones plan is "im going to WA" ya know? ill just apply for everything

New radiator fitted and bleed the cooling system

Now to do the wife's car when she gets back

It's a faily easy job once you know what your doing. I was pretty impressed how easy it ws to remove the radiator from a 34.

Good stuff Joel!

On another note. Chookie wants to take off his wing on his car. Can every please remind him what will happen to his bum hole if he has a 34 without a wing??

I'll start, it will be raped by big black gay men. :P

Well i've started a build thread. Just waiting for approval.

I've written out the first half dozen or so up-dates too, so it might look like the first the fastest engine build in history.

Looking forward to the read!

Good stuff Joel!

How long did it take for your build thread to show up matt?

i think it was a day or two... Wasnt too long but was annoying after typing for ages and knowing you then have to wait lol

Yes- they do FIFO from Newy i was speaking to a client about a week ago that does it and lives in merewether just not sure how it's structured. BMA is a good company to work for (so a lot of people i talk to say) same with Haynes (diesel fitter)

I sell 4X4's up here so i speak to a lot of miners. In regards to Mackay being less expensive.. think again. It's insanely expensive, say for instance in the clubs- King st Hotel $3 or $4 spirits, up here it's $15 for a CRUISER lol. The mines has made everything really expensive, i was told once Mackay is the 17th richest city in the world. But that's just because of the resources. Mining is a really good thing to get into if you are keen to work hard and make a f*ck lot of money!

Weather is great, compared to Newy it's probably a little bit hotter but it's never cold. FIFO miners have their flights paid for it's part of whatever package it is that you get upon employment

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
