Go to tuner

Ask what they recommend

Choice made

I haven't made my mind up regarding a tuner... Danny from springy is pushing for Autronic. My new auto elec (who is not from this world) knows mostly people from professional motorsports circles and he recommends products/brands/people that import forums haven't got an opinion on.

It's tough from a consumer perspective to read the brochures and opinions and get a feel for how it works and its limitations. I'm wary of tuners who push for certain products because they are distributors.

I didn't know Danny was back at Springy motors?

Yeah but...in this case I'm for it.

Before we get high and mighty about keeping the jobs "in Australia" how much per hour is the union also demanding the person holding the go/stop sign gets paid?

Performance based increases would be nice instead of standardised, negotiated for all rates. Then we know the dude holding the sign would be going the extra mile for his dollars.

I don't see how he can lay claim to a pay increase over anything but inflation - it's getting harder and harder to flip that sign 180 degrees.

It's just pathetic.

We got 4% last year and have another 2.5% coming this year for a bunch of people that are already paid above average and get annual bonuses + shares to boot. This was negotiated less than 12 months ago.

This isn't good enough for the union however and they are dropping pamphlets around trying to rally people into complaining for more based on our group profits. Its f**king rediculous.

I'd rather skip a payrise and keep my job away from the Philippines thanks. This has already happened at other banks and they keep pushing.

Unions do NOT just have workers interests at heart.

Why the f**k should we have to give jobs building shit in Australia, for Australians, to Australians.. It's ridiculous. f**king militant union thuggery.

China, 75,000 work related deaths in a year. 200+ deaths a day.

Australia 180 work related deaths in a year.

55/100,000 vs 2/100,000 (before anyone wants to try pull the population card)

There's a reason they can build shit faster and cheaper, their workers lives are just another consumable.

Haha you psychic. Someone is talking me into some UK 4-cyl specialised shit. Cheaper than most standalones too.

Cheaper until you realise that hardly anyone in Australia knows how to tune them, so those who do charge out the butt... or they actually don't know what they're doing and you're up for the cost of a new motor (again).

Getting ripped on my private health insurance

Fkers are charging me $55 a fortnight for cover equivalent to $40 a fortnight

Have been keeping me on an old plan because it pays them more and they can increase the premium every year without changing my level cover, in spite of reducing the costs offered to new customers to be competitive with other funds - criminals

That's not a viable argument it would be built here under our laws and regulations. Who's the union to stop private enterprise keeping their costs down ?

What happens when they bring in the Chinese real estate agents willing to work for less commission? Do you cry foul or accept that your job isn't worth paying what it used to be?

Which could be a bit of a near reality given the advantages to having mandarin speaking agents these days...

i know what you mean, but the DTAFast ECU's are a pommy company. apparently popular with big motor jags and cars running ford/cosworth/zetec/millington engines. someone out there must tune them!

it may be a shock to some, but there is a world outside of turbo imports and ECU's outside of the US, Japan and Aus. and i guess im trying to find out what does what better than others.

Omg this shit again. Real estate is un regulated and has been for ages you peanuts. So it has been happening as long as I've been working in it and even longer

People pay us what they choose to pay and willingly no government or union intervention

Try again with your failed arguments, seriously it's embarrassing arguing uneducated points

Fwiw it's the Indians who work for fk all but guess what they are rogues do a crap job and the owners get thousands less for their home rather than pay us a couple grand more they 'save' .5% but get $30k less. Smart huh.

    • Yeah good luck out there! Will be good to see a mighty GTST going harder than the GTRs
    • i will be there 😁
    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
