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!!!

omg omg we are under survelleince (by god, how much of a typo did I just make)

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

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
