1 in 8 sounds false.

But look at all the footy players. Same thing. A dealer can make a lot of money if he infiltrates a local footy team. "The boys" will all jump on board if everyone else is having fun and no ones girlfriends are around.

Once i stopped to get fish and chips at some seedy street few blocks from Dandenong. Legit 2 people standing next to the milk bar with brown paper bags. One was african the other wasnt. Looked like a f**king scene from The Wire. Id never seen anything like it (outside of north richmond)

Did they have a testing van outside a festival

or are there really this many people on drugs these days??

I've been booze bussed and or breatho'd dozens of times, as have most people who drive on the road.

I have never once been drug tested, because I don't look like a druggie... So it's probably 1 in 8 that they have profiled as suspicious and initiated a test (which takes 15-20 minutes to complete IIRC)... In which case 1/8th isn't actually that high, if you look like a druggie, you've probably done something in the past few days that will be detectable.

They should have set up a drug bus to test people leaving Bluesfest in Byron Bay, that'd be a laugh... But they wouldn't have room to put all the cars.

OK that's interesting.

Not gone through a Booze bus for more than 8 years

(had the random cop on the side of the road but not the whole booze/drugs bust for years)

I assumed that every-one got tested just like for drink and it was a near instant thing.

So 3-5 minute apparently.

So yeah if they are targeting then that would impact the results in a huge way. so 1 in 8 is probably a very low number then.

Feeling better now.

got random drug tested on stud rd earlier in the year, they pull in 5-8 cars, everyone sits there for 5-10mins waiting for results... 2 million cars pass by. Luck of the draw really.

In my suburb there is a 1 in 8 chance of finding someone sober or not on methodone. The police generally stay away as if they ever cracked down on it, there would simply be no population left. The town runs itself anyway, sort of like a Walking Dead scenario.

UNIVERSITY graduates may have to start paying their loans back sooner after a report revealed many students will never earn an income high enough to repay their HELP debts.

hahahaha

How are schools going to sell that uni is the right choice now?

Edited by UNR33L

I don't think many are jumping at uni courses with $$$$ in their eyes. Graduate pay rates are pretty well known to be horrible and it's widely accepted that you're going to be doing it tough for a few years proving yourself or moving up. Nut many careers in certain industries require a degree, so if you're passionate about that, it can be the "easy" or only way to get into what you want to do.

you'd think there would be an uproar on social media about the government wanting to change how HELP/HECS is paid off, but there isnt. and no one can say shit because its reasonable and legitimate.

I blame KRudd. he wanted 40% of the population to have a degree. and it comes at a cost.

not everyone can or will be paid over $50k a year full-time.

Family member in QLD is a draftsman and has been for over 8 years with only work experience, doesnt have a degree (currently working towards some TAFE thing) yet somehow has become very reputable and has successfully applied for jobs that require a degree. I dont see how that could happen in this age. He must have contacts. His resume would only find the bin if he applied like everyone else, surely.

years of experience make up for a degree, unless you want upper management.

we looking for a lackey for me currently, Degree a must have, ideally some post graduate.

Wonder how he will take getting told what to do by a dropout...

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
