Hey

I am a fitter and turner and I am looking to move to brisbane.

If anyone out there is a machinist or fitter can you give me the heads up on what people are getting paid these days and maybe a few good places to drop a resume??

cheers.

Being a Fitter myself I can tell you your job prospects are pretty good. Depends on what what you want to do. i myself have changed jobs 4 times this year chasing bigger dollars but have settled on a good job wth Co car and negotiated my own package at a decent rate. I applied for everything I could, went along and saw for myself what they had to offer then decided which was best for me. DONT sign on with a labour hire co because you can do it all yourself IF you can afford to take a week or two to do all this. Look at the long term. I found that the high paying jobs were the ones no-one else wanted and involved tasks that were dangerous and short term or just plain boring.

The best place to look is CareerOne and is where I got my job.

The highest paying jobs are in the mining sector and are mostly fly in fly out, the next best is the Ipswich area as no-one wants to work or live there, your best bet is the south west area of the CBD as they have good workshops and are offering decent wages.

I settled in the Logan area when i got here and held out for a job in this area where the wage is a little lower but is close to the coast and Hoons are a part the lifestyle.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
