I agree and disagree with Andrew. I work for Telstra and have worked for Optus and IBM. It really depends which part of the organisation that you work. IBM is a big company - this means red tape. Telstra has this and so does Optus - All big companies do. If you want to work on Big Networks, these are the sorts of companies you want to target - Forget working for Cisco or Nortel - these guys just want to just flog products.

You also have to consider the area within IT that you want to work or aspire to work. Operations (good grounding but you wouldn't want to work there for ever) Architecture, Design, Product Development, Systems, Testing ? There are heaps of areas.

In terms of IT Operations, Telstra , Optus, IBM - they are all the same - Obstinate roadblocks :P

"Cisco or Nortel - these guys just want to just flog products."

goto completely disagree with you there - that could be said for any company you work in especially if it's in a project manager or sales role.

while working for cisco as a tech support - I learnt a hell of a lot more there than I have since - working for a vendor gives you an in depth knowledge and access to information the general public don't get.

forget the csiro,or mscs and what not, try getting a J.O.B that would be the best thing i suggest.

Cos i'm sure working at mcdonalds will really help you break into networking..

he's trying to find out what he can do to get a better job in an industry that he wants to get into..

geezzz...

we have heaps of IT dudes in here :)

im another one hehehehehe

Hmmmm i think skylines are made for IT guys :)

Im kinda in the same shoes as you champ.....

finished studying network engineering and CCNA preperation for CCNA exam....bu didnt go for it cus i was lazy lol

and now just doing level 1 help desk, until i get my CCNA and experience and then go for a proper network support role.....

But yeh bro i feel ya man it is hard without any experience and proper certificates under your belt, these days network engineers with CCNA are applying for level 2 help desk roles, so how are we gonna compete :):(

good luck bro hope you pass your test and find a good job

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
