This is where the cost of a Tax accountant that knows what they are doing outweighs the costs   FYI $300/h

What's a med cert

My work doesn't magically go away if I don't show up, only doing myself a disservice if I take the day off 

non union lyf

and if you can work from home even more this.

your not infecting others and still getting the work done.

Anyone used/using Nankang NS2Rs? Already thinking of next tyres for the GTST. RSRRs have served me well and were great value when new, but starting to lose their grip under power. Plenty of life left in them for regular driving but they're still noisy as fk and that's only an acceptable trade off if you're getting grip.

I "think" these are what richo runs on the wrx and was very happy with $$ for grip.

 

EDIT:

Sorry he running the AR1

Unfortunately if I don't come in to work for more than 2-3 days so much stuff grinds to a halt. It's why I'm hesitant to take more than a few days for a holiday. When I went to Japan for 3-4 weeks they got someone to run things while I was away and they ended up cancelling the job before I even got home because they weren't prepared. Trying to organise work for myself after it fell through was a pain in the ass.
Its like if you book a holiday too far in advanced it's f**k things coming up you're not aware of yet, but you can't exactly do things last minute because it seems convenient.
February went to the gold Coast for like 5 days or something and ended up having to come home early for work. Typical.

Live to work or work to live... If you're just an employee the decision is an easy one

Was just about to type the same thing.. work to live or live to work 

I feel like too many people live to work, has it always been like this? 

#quarterlifecrysis feel like all I do is work and not much fun these days

Granted I'm in the middle of a major mid life crisis, but more and more I start to think like that... Too often I hear shit like 'I'd love to do x, but I have to work' meanwhile said persons boss/company owner is on their 5th overseas trip for the year.
f**k that shit.
It's not living, it's just waiting to die

My work (yay govt) has two types of leave, has a certain amount of sick leave per year with no cert, and a second allotment of leave with a cert. The leave with a cert is very generous and generally used for people with sick kids/carers leave etc.

Life quality is a thing and really should be everyone's primary aim, however the hell it suits people to achieve it.

Some people have it easier, some people have it hard. Some people make it hard for themselves. Some people have earned and worked their way to having it easy.

 

The older I get, the more I realise how a lot of people who have it hard comes down to decisions they have made as well as how they approach work/life. #CISmaleprivelige

 

(obviously some people are just thrown curve balls their entire lives)

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Any recommendations on a decent replacement manifold that doesnt break the bank or require additional mods for the stock turbo setup? I figure if I'm going to pull the manifold off anyway to fix the studs might as well replace it.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      So I checked the turbo out today. Very minimum play at all just enough for the oil to take up when it's running. I did find an exhaust leak at the manifold. 1 stud all the way in the front is missing and the one all the way in the back is broken off. Front has visible signs of an exhaust leak. I'll fix that soon but that's not my problem still.  I also found that the nipple coming off the turbo had the hose capped off and a hose ran from the j-pipe by the bov going to the wastegate. I removed that hose and capped that nipple and put the turbo nipple hose back on the wastegate.  There was a ton of oil residue all through the charge side of the intercooler piping going to the throttle bodg. I'm thinking that's from the pcv. Doesn't seem to be coming from the turbo that was all clean on the pipes side.  Haven't had a chance to check fuel pressure yet, haven't had time been having to pull a lot of doubles at work. I did pick up some carb cleaner to clean the iacv but wanted to make sure I had a fresh gasket in case the old one rips when I pull it off.  I'm waiting on a MAF that was supposed to be here today but delayed to Monday. Have a double Monday and Friday and work all of next weekend so going to try to find some time in the middle of the week to try that out. Did about a 10m trip around the block today and towards the end the issues were coming back. Fingers crossed on this MAF but if not just going to throw a fuel pressure gauge in and see where I'm at.  Did notice today that I can definitely hear the injectors pulsing. Very audible clicking coming from them. Assuming that's normal? Should also mean CAS is functioning somewhat properly. After it warmed up when I started it the intermittent misfires came in again. Did start doing that before it was fully warmed up.

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.
