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....

good to hear you got back on track, Col ..

By any chance is your R33 S2 .. yellow? ;)

I've seen you fillin' up at the BP on gympie Rd near the maccas,

Don't own a skyline yet, but yours is one of the ones that has inspired

me to go that way ;)

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
