Plans employment wise is through Unisys working on their immigration and border protection contract. Just providing general IT support, I'm currently working with them in Sydney and they are letting me transfer.

We have been looking at places in the north side where we used to live so around Casey and Crace as well.

Unisys, on the Defence desktop support contract, was the biggest mess I've ever had the amusing displeasure of being a part of....though I'm 99% sure it was entirely due to the immediate management structure, or lack thereof. Too many mates in "Team Leader" positions, one of which directly reported to her husband.

Workplace domestics between an employee (team leader at that) and her manager were simultaneously hilarious and extremely disconcerting. Mostly hilarious though. So maturity. Many professional.

Much better where you are though I'd assume Dan, lol. You're actually driven enough you'd have f**ked off after a week if it were the same :P

Yeah Unisys is a walk in the park compared to iiNet. Looking back I don't actually understand how I stayed at iiNet for so long. The good thing about Unisys is that I'm getting experience on an actual IT help desk, rather than the general network troubleshooting I did at iiNet.

Hopefully within a year or so I'll be able to sort out some kind of manager or team leader position in Unisys or another company.

Good stuff on getting the place in Crace :) especially with those added bonuses haha...I'll be looking to move Gungahlin/Belco in the next few months. Starting to get the shits with Queanbeyan, what with being just far enough out of Canberra you more or less NEED a car to do anything. The shithouse road quality is driving me insane as well. Most roads around town, including the arterial ones to get the fk out of this place, feel more like derelict rollercoasters.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
