Well great news... Im still there...

It was over a $500 item i had to give away for free.... But over all the deal was still profitable and the customer spends 10g's a month with me so it was all good....

I stood up for my self and confidence took over. I would not have any trouble getting another job its just the hassle and the having to tell people i got fired... That would suck...

In the end im paying for the 500 bucks and all is back to normal....

I have learnt for this situation and have learnt where i went wrong and what to do next time.... Yes my profit is too high to be fired.... But in their words a loose cannon is far more un-profitable....

So im great... Going out tonight to coffee club to have a nice dinner with the mrs and enjoy....

I also recieved my cams in the mail today so it was a double win....

Plus i got a raise to stay..... LOL

Yea its pretty harsh to threaten someone to be fired from a few minor mistakes.

If you never take the risk of making a mistake you can never achieve to your full potential. If employers were to realise this, they would get a lot more from their staff as they would not have fear holding them back.

Yeah that is pretty harsh to threaten a job over $500!!

When someone fcuks up at my work the cost to the company is usually in the 5 figure dollar amount, and we dont threaten their jobs...... one guy even stuffed up 3 times in a year, and he still works here, although every job he does is triple checked :P

Good to see it has all worked out in the end though!

Wait, they made you pay $500 for your f**kup but gave you a payrise? Wheres the logic in that. If they were giving you a payrise you'd think they'd cop the $500 and say don't do it again. O well good for you ;)

Col dont be so hard on yourself, youve got the goods to earn 50k with one company, why cant you do it with another? Surely your Co. has competitors and would they like the insider view of thier operations, clients, new products etc. If they are dumping you for thier own political gains what do you owe them?

I know it sounds backwards but yeah an extra few bucks a day to stay... And i only had to pay part of the 500 bucks... So this weeks pay was a little low but they may take the rest next week.... Does not matter...

As for the compitetion.... We have surposed competition but really we smash em every time... So i would not help them. Plus its like leaving a family or something.... Ive worked there so long i am one of the longest serving employees....

Also they are sending me on a holiday in 6 weeks to fiji (FREE)... So i feel i was delt with fairly.... I calculated my annual income with bonus's and it more like 70k and the amount of products i have won or got for free is worth it too....

So i really dont wanta leave as its a cool job.... So ill stay unless i get a better offer in the mean time....

sounds like it' all working out!

enjoy Fiji - I used to do some IT work there. Interesting place when it comes to IT, but the people are great.

6 weeks on Fiji time, will seem like 6months!

just remember who did the back stabbing...

I wish it were 6 week in fiji... I meant im going in 6 weeks time for a week.... However my holidays were rejected by the big boss,... So i got to re-arrange the time to suit other staff....

But yeah... fiji here i come... one day soon....

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
