Hey,

im a full time bum ass student at UQ. Also work nearly every weekend at Caltex Toowong: fancy schmancy job name =  PETROLLIUM DISTRIBUTION ENGINEER  :wassup:  ....or just "servo-guy" (10pm-6am graveyards baby) so i have almost ZERO social life on weekends.  Also bit of bar work here and there....and also drive trucks in the ARMY part time (love it, great fun) always on da lookout for some tax free dollars!! NO Johnny Howard payments here people, bust my balls to get my toys. Even do a lil car importing on the side for hobby, plus all sorts of jap parts.

Haro

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA LOVE your signature mate!!!!

I do graveyards at Caltex too (in WA), and for everyone else, his sig is entirely true!!

It'd be the best job in hte world, if it weren't for the customers (and shit pay, and stacking the drinks, and sweeping the forecourt and cleaning the pumps...)!! hhahahaha top stuff

mechanical engineer,

sit in front for the pc all day and design stuff, i.e 3D design for vehicles being used in the mining industry ,,,

can't wait to go out to some mine sites,, and see some REAL big toys!!!

I install and maintain sound systems in nightclubs/bars/restaurants basically anywhere that needs sound systems or lighting be it architectual or Effect and a little bit of plasma , projector installs even sometimes security camera systems. What ever the boss tells us to do. I also run the hire department for all of your DJ/Party/Concert lighting and sound needs.

Kinda interesting and different every day. Average pay and loss of hearing.

What is this work? of which you all speak,and,most of you seem to dislike so much

Slip sell your car buy a house.buy another one next year, repeat this process for 5 years

meantime keep your job and in 5 years you should be able to support an R34GTR

Detective with the cops, hate traffic cops wankers - so don't worry. Been doing it for 27 years and tired of it, my toy R33 GTST series 2 keeps me sane and motivated. Been a rev head for years.

SPY!!!

Hide the books, stash the drugs and lock up the illegal immigrants working on the moving parts.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • 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.
