nothing wrong with apprenticeships don't waste your time at school if you don't want to really be there . Thing is most kids coming through now want to sit behind desk's the amount of quality trades people is getting thin .You do have the chance to make a pretty decent living in the future but don't except to earn very much while doing the apprenticeship.

Most of the good jobs aren't advertised in the media but more by word of mouth , ring around a heap of places try to sound half switched on and you might be suprised at what you come up with .

take the advice from the others on this forum, stay in school man, get a job that pays real money and has benifits.

i used to works at a really good workshop on good cars but youd be surprised how fast it all goes to hell and you find yourself working on crap for no money.

i hate school, learnin bout shit that is no use

apprenticeships suck

just make sure you try it out before you jump into an apprenticeship, because its a lot of hard work, making about the same pay as a forklift driver (in any car trade), and thats when your fully qualified. did i mention apprenticeships suck?

but yeh just try it out first, because it might not be what you think it is

If you leave school you’re going to regret it. Your just one of those too cool for school kids aren’t you. What year are you in? Does your school offer VET/VCAL?

Have to admit VCE is as hard as they say, almost makes me want to drop out but im not going to end up anywhere good in the long run if I do.

you know wat really shits me is when people say stay in school

wats the point of sitting there and doing nothing for 2 years when you could get into wat you wanna do 2 years earlier?

thats the mistake i made.

if you know wat you wanna do go out there and do a trade and be proud that you can do things yourself.

not just anyone can become a good tradesperson.

but any clown can sit behind a desk and play with a computer.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
