  1. Nek minnit How to make MX5 fun, Hai yah:
  2. Hey it's SAU, we are all talented in many different ways, I'm sure I'll come to you for things one day too 😊
  3. 100% this, no point delivering a steam oven when the client just wanted a toaster
  4. Think of it as a fancy iFrame with the auth passed through to PowerBI as you're already authenticated logged into Teams I'm the complete opposite, I hate everything on Prem, it's slow as shit, you need VPNs to get anything happening, then when you want on-prem DBs to talk to say PowerBI you need to install/setup data gateways to essentially VPN back into your SQL instance. I suppose from my perspective, on-prem sucks, but from an infrastructure perspective, your environment is somewhat air gapped to the web via your firewall(s), etc. The curse of knowledge, the more you know the more you suffer. Farken philosophical shit.
  5. I prefer IATs post throttle body, however probably no real difference
  6. When you do the hours I do, and deal with the amount of morons you'll understand. Also working for a corporation, they're always monitoring you, they're always expecting you to work and be available for fixed hours of the day and never seem to notice the hours you do outside of the prescribed hours - but in some way they expect you to do it anyway. I'm just burnt out. And not really, it's not lucrative and easy AF as you may think, I spent about 2 to 3 solid days per loan (if you were to condense them down). Most of the time you spend going through talking to the client, going through lenders/products/options then the document analysis, etc. then the gruelling part, the data entry 🫠 Once I leave the corporate world, no more fixed salary, as a broker I'm working on $0 salary, 100% comms. Depends, if you worked for a broking company then there would be deals/targets. As I'm a contractor to another broking firm, I just work to my own terms and serve my own clients and if I choose to, I can take leads from the company too. All my comms are clipped by the company I contract with, however they provide me with software, licencing, insurance, branding, etc. You'll be surprised what Australia Post pays, you'll be crying, especially those who joined a while back, e.g. the boomers and early Gen Xers. Not to disclose too much, but an average postal truck driver that would do normal hours and pick up 1x day on the weekend would earn as much as me in my corporate job. I came from a Tableau background, so at the start fk me PowerBI pissed me off, especially when you have datasets (like sales data) with missing continuous dates, the entire dashboard would shit the bed. I literally had to create a dynamic date table (using min(invoice_date) and getdate()) to create the table, THEN link all the sales data back to it. Pain in the arse! But after 5 years of fking about with it, it's ok.. I don't mind it lol. I'm lucky all the PowerBI publishing I do is all internal, and authenticated using M365 account, no fancy shit required and I just embed dashboards into channels inside Teams.
  7. CSV? Come on lad, I'm all about PowerBI these days. I would consider working as a PowerBI or ZOHO DataPrep consultant, but nah, I've had enough of IT. Two decades of being in somewhat in an industry I kind of just chose because I had zero guidance when I was younger.
  8. Depends on your LVR and also loan size Happy to help out, flick me a PM with an email or mobile
  9. Well technically it's still being sent to the grid, so it's 100% purely for their use but a good portion would be for them.
  10. Are those Garrett G series or copies?
  11. Oh the irony! Most people hate China, but can't live without them (cars, phones, appliances, etc.)
  12. Might be an option when the business grows, never too late to teach an old dog new tricks. Mid life crisis dis dat, also means moving forward I won't be too inclined to buying our future house anywhere near the CBD or Metro Sydney. Come at me man shed and hoist and motion racing SIM and maybe a dyno? Lol. Dyno Tune your Car and Home Loan.
  13. Finished studying already, mortgage broking 😊 Started working already too, have settled a handful of refinances and learning the ropes. All have been simple PAYG clients (all family and friends, can't thank them enough, trusting me with their finances). Will say goodbye to the IT world for good one day, nearly 2 decades of ups and mainly downs lol... I'm burnt out from corporate, constant moving targets, constant scope creep, never a fking clear definition of an end goal. Hope I've made the right move, if not, I hear job seeker allowances aren't too bad LOL.
  14. Not much car shit happening as of late, been so busy with work and decided to also study to do a massive career backflip. So yeah, working 2 jobs, means no time for Dose Pipe plays with toys time. Anyhow, new Philips XL Air Fryer came today. Went for the non Wi-Fi version which is like $50 cheaper. New air fryer, who dis?
  15. Welcome to a place where you just spend endless amounts of money to have a car that doesn't work, or barely works.
  16. Haha... The SAU old timers, we've been there, done that and still haven't learnt our lesson(s).
  17. Could just add material, grind down and use something like this. Lol... Or just drill out, reweld on another firewall, maybe from another GT-R or a GTS-4, Gracer vibes lolololol.
  18. Haha a polite way of describing Greg... If you've ever followed his many builds, you'll see he constantly gets Greged or Gregged up. Him a few others on here are masters of BW EFR propaganda, don't mess with them because you'll get EFRed up Dad jokes are strong as of late.
  19. Probably on a container ship heading to either the US or a very hot country.
  20. Yay, I'm so happy this is back! I'm sure all the small F&B, hospitality businesses are super happy too.
  21. Issue with this are gaskets failures (x2) as mentioned above also it raises the turbo up further which may cause packaging issues etc. I suppose if you have an experienced fabricator around, you could cut off the T3 flange and weld a T4 divided flange. Another option (probably better) is to find an experienced turbo builder and they can machine a turbine housing to suit. I would even ask Tao at Hypergear to machine and send one over to you. Might end up cheaper for you.
  22. You might need an experienced turbo builder to machine a turbine housing to suit the Garret G30 turbine profile. I'm assuming you're in the US, maybe hit up ATP?
  23. Which brand turbine housing are you getting? Garrett seem to have dropped focus on anything twin scroll as of late. They only have it in T4 1.06.
  24. GTX series turbos, albeit reliable are quite dated now. I run a Garrett GTX3576R Gen 2 with a T3 1.01 divided housing and I get 0.8bar of boost by 4000rpm and about 4600rpm is when it's all in (1.8bar) on a 2.5L, VCT NEO, 264/272 cams + usual mods. Makes a sensible 437kW on E85. I do rev the motor to 8600rpm but at about 7500rpm or so it's not making anymore power. If I had the opportunity to do it again, I would get a Turbosmart 6262 or a Garrett G35-900. Probably same response but will go 500kW+
  25. either that, or the said LSD is worn OR the initial torque setting (being a Nismo one, I'm assuming it has the adjustment on the RHS when you pull out the stub axle) it is set so low it's not engaging
