Ford Fleet is nowhere hehe

Yeah mechies wages suck - Ive worked in the car industry long enough to know that .... but what most mechies do is go through the ranks to become service advisors pay still not brillant but hey our service advisors get company cars and eventually onto running workshop/service/ parts managers.

There's always opportunities out there to make more money in your chosen field. :D

Haha nice another MITA apprentice. What year are you in? I'm in my second year atm going onto third year soon and work for NuFord which is about 100m from Northside Nissan. They are actually moving next door to us to join the masses of AHG delearships along Waneroo Road.

Yup AHG is taking over the world ...... buy your shares in time :lol:

MR HOLMES!! That f**king bald c**t! I hate that f**ker! I'd forgetten all about him... thanks  :) So he's still hanging around yeh?

What about that dude with the big beard? The stores guy... He went off at me for wearing shorts... Said "Are you going to the beach or something?"

lmao

yeh both are still there

Holmes just went out of our room, then a mate was saying some shit about him....but he didn't close the door, and heard him, came back into the class and gave him a talking to :D hahah

Yeh - he would say "You should respect me and blah blah blah, Im older and balder and know more than you" shutup :unsure:

Has that dude with the big beard told you his story about driving prostitutes around? He said he takes them to jobs and shit and told us that "if one of them were in trouble, you wouldn't want to be driving in front of him"... And that when people don't pay he takes them down the ATM by force and takes their money <_< and also takes shit from their house... :(

Who's the guy who flys planes... I can't remember his name... He has a beard (Then again most of the teachers there do) i know he drives the VW golf... He still there?

Mechanic eh - even some of the best of them only get $35k/year (I hear) Go get a professional sklilled job :(

people taht are outside the industy are sooooo naive.

an automotive mechanice is a very proffesional, skilled job. We have to know a lot of stuff, from physics side of things, right through to binary code, and priority messaging systems. Just because Bob down at the local servo is a yobbo, doesnt mean there aren't proffesionals in the business.

And yes, for the amount of knowledge we have to carry around, the pay is absolute crap.

sorry if that came off a bit harsh, i just get sick of hearing about how un-proffessional mechanics are

Totally agree CrazyMan

Dunno who the plane guy is, havn't seen a golf

Can't say I've heard the Hooker story, he once was going on about being in 'Nam though. He's all tough, and then it's funny when you see him cleaning the toilets ;)

Holmes last week made me and a few other guys do the tests (on paper, not ocmputer) for subjects (sorry, 'competencies' ;)) that we hadn't even started studying yet. When we where doing them the teacher that was looking after us (not our normal teacher) just told us the answers, and basically said we where doing the tests because of $$$, us being ahead (we weren't even behind before) made Holmes look like top shit and gets more Government money/employers sending apprentices there.....dodgy. Going totally against how he always saysthat we need to have all the 'underpinning knowledge' before doing the prac or test

/rant :)

Yeh holmes is a complete cockspank...

Mandy! Now I remember his name, its mandy! Its funny when he would tell us to do shit no-one would do it and laugh at him.

And the lovable competencies... Most of competencies would involve more or less going through the same shit we did in the last one... I was glad the day I finished there.. :D

Luckily for me I'm in the Ford building so I don't have to put up with (much) all the MITA assholes. Seriously I believe the apprentices have more brains than the staff there. The only person I respect from MITA is Mr. Bishop as he is now looking after us in the Ford building and he knows an absolute shitload.

Bottom line - MITA=shithole

go get a skilled job not like those trades WTF

i hate shite like that trades are highly skilled ( and underpaid)

we all spend four years just to get the basics

just cause we get dirty does not mean we arnt skilled

hehe i go through mita too but luckily enough i don't have to deal with any of em

i'm doing a heavy diesel apprenticeship so hopefully have better money in the end.

worst mistake i made going through mita all the guys i talk to at tafe are gettin about 50% more pay then anyone going through mita!

    • Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...
    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
