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.

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.

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!

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!

    • You won't make it out of your driveway. Both your rear wheels will go in whichever direction they feel. Your Hicas rack or a lockout bar is required to keep your wheels straight. 
    • Updating results.  Using ATR45SS-0 model VS UHF57-900. Those two are very different turbos, different wheels sets with different wheel hub profiles but yet with almost identical result. I’m intrigued with both turbos performance. ATR45SS-0 was a 61mm turbo first developed in May 2020, UHF57-900 was a 62mm turbo developed in March 2024 as a powered up alternative of a G30-900. On paper ATR45SS-0 maxed at 563rwkws, while UHF57-900 maxed at 568rwkws. ATR45SS was slightly more responsive with slightly better power band through the mid range.  Road driving ability, ATR45SS-0 had better throttle response, felt more robust under throttle, as it wakes up earlier. I think G series wheel hub design made it to have higher inertia under light throttle. Doing bit more prototype work in the next few weeks, will update result when its back on dyno again. ATR45SS0 Blue, UHF57-900 Red Chequered tuner's Dynapack hub dyno, E85 fuel. Mod list is in video below video_20240604_114214.mp4    
    • Did you run the power cables for the mac valve to the other side of the car near the fusebox? Utilizing the stock boost controller cables? or did you run new ones?
    • Hey I have a potentially stupid HICAS question 🤣 I'm currently doing a full hicas delete, Power steering pump modified to non hicas, all lines removed from the car along with all electronics. My stupid question is - Do I need a lock out bar? is there any reason why I cant just remove everything from the rear end? I already have a lock out bar but thinking to save a few extra grams I could also get rid of the arms and tie rods as well and just run it with nothing in its place? or would it have a negative effect on handling?
    • Hi how are you guys?  I know i have been absent for years but im coming back slowly guys just wondering if anyone know where the ball joint on the NISMO arm front and rear can be replaced with OE parts?  Also  i know this is not the thread looking for springs and blistein shocks for the 260rs. Please advcie     cheers    yudy
