Never been on a jetski, sure it'd be fun but I'd never use it.. barely use my motorbikes and they go on the ROAD!

On another note, what's the normal rise when getting promoted? keeping in mind it's still similar area of work etc.

3%

Remember how much fun your DRZ was? Picture that on water where you can't really hurt yourself.

Buy one second hand and flog it off if you don't use it? Or a spark, they are like 8k

What shits me about this is the same thing as ticket scalpers

Buy it with the intention of profiting and some true fan who actually wants it misses out

Same thing happened with the 86s, people were selling base model for 40k when there was a waiting list

Ninja 250Rs, people had $1000 premiums on them over brand new, selling second hand

no doubt like the "sold out" 86s plenty of people wont follow through with the orders and they'll pop up, have to be an absolute fool to pay such a premium on a certain to depreciate thing.

I've had anything from 1500 to 25K...

So depends on how good your negotiating and how desperate they are.

pants rise

Wouldn't call that a rise, a 3% increase is only just above WPI. Any less than that and you're technically getting paid less than you were last year thanks to inflation.

Well that was my pay increase, and other people's that I know of.

Yeah, but you guys already get paid too much seeing as you only work like 7 hours a day for maybe 30 weeks a year...

In corporate world, your job banding has a min-av-max salary.

Depending on your experience, they will place you somewhere on that scale.

Rule of thumb is to promote & shift you towards the middle of each band.

If you are below average a promotion yields more, if you are above the promotion will be less.

This prevents employees earning more than their bosses which would be a +1 job band jump.

most people would be lucky to get 2% a year... used to get it when I was on EBA. I can see why management wanted to get rid of it. people who sit there for 15+ years milk the cash bin dry.

Yep, I don't really persue careers where it flatlines with a 2% increase. To me that just feels like a wasted year, either you should be working to get in a higher position or move companies. Most industries aren't like that though, at least being a contractor it can be easier to negotiate your wage.

as a contractor you can charge whatever you want, just depends on who is willing to pay it. or you can undercut everyone to win work and then charge out the ass for extras.

im happy on my wage, overtime fluctuates a lot so that keeps things changing every few months i guess. havent had a consistent paycheck in a very long time.

lol @ timing of this topic. News just in, what I expected with the continual downfall of the commodity price...

No doubt will hit the news in the next 24hrs.

Somehow I don't think you coming out will hit the news

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
