Damn all you pubes although like amaru said it keeps people like me employed :ninja: I have never actually worked for the PS i had the opportunity a couple of times but i seem to always just move to another private company... go figure

lol baconer that is pretty funny more so because of the replies to the movie and how it's racist and then people calling each other crackers etc... crackers funniest word ever.

shuttup cracker!

Have my JOEs day today :ninja:

Anyway im applying for Aircraft Mechanic with my next options being Structural Fitter and Fitter Turner all in the Army

How long ago were you in the army and whats life in the defence force like, have heard different stories from different people about what its like.

Bloody hell this is depressing... Do the aptitude test and tech tests at my JOEs today and do well enough to be told I can apply for any trade of my choice pending results of my med test. So im sitting there for 2 hours waiting and waiting just thinking about which trade would pay the best/ be the most interesting. Walk into the nurses office and she brings out the colour testing. Fail first, fail 2nd, fail 3rd.

"Yea your a CP3, your employment options include; cook, dental assistant, musician etc"

Awesome... Now ive got 2 more days of no work to sit at home and think about this fact.

I discharged in December. Damn man that sucks, my missus just went into the navy as a chopper technician, its probly the hardest course in the forces, so you would have really, really wanted to do it.

In the army, it depends on what you do, but for the first year or 2, expect to be treated like crap, then after that, expect a bit more of it, but if you enjoy the job you sign up for, then it makes it worth while, so choose wisely :P

The Navy an Airforce get treated a lot better, but the jobs arent as hardcore, so it depends on whether you love the whole green hardcore thing, or just want a secure job with a good career option.

I could go on for ages, but the army has got a lot of things over the other 2 aswell. Pm if you wanna know more :D

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
