  1. I would take a stock GTR intercooler over a Hybrid any day of the week. Although I haven't tested the flow or pressure drop of either, and I'm sure no-one else posting in this thread has either. Since you're buying one for looks anyway, and aren't really going to be pushing the limits of it, ANY core will be better than your crappy stock one and will do the job.
  2. Congratulations Looks like Jim is definitely on top of these GT-SS turbos What are you plans for the car? I wouldn't put a pair of GT-RS on a stock capacity RB26 if I were you. The car won't be anywhere NEAR as fun to drive. Full mod list?
  3. Merli > Skez Shut you n00bs
  4. Click here for a tutorial on stupidity
  5. What makes you think that IBM gives weight to certifications over experience??? You couldn't be MORE wrong You could have every certification under the sun, but with no experience you won't land a job ANYWHERE. CCIE or not. Although, I'm interested in where you formed that opinion from... It really is quite an ignorant statement to make, especially since it's so perfectly wrong. You must have gotten that opinion from *somewhere*? Surely you wouldn't just say something like that as a joke? You don't become a company of 350,000 employees with one of the most marketable brand names in the IT industry by having sub-par employment policies Meh. I'm not going to get into a slinging match between companies. Everyone seems to have different opinions on big corporate giants, and I'm above slagging other companies like that.
  6. I can't admit to studying the stock solenoid system too much (it's one of the first things to get the bin ) But I think that some people in this thread are mistaking the 3-port setup of most aftermarket EBCs and the 2-port setup of the stock solenoids
  7. Wow... That's surprising from a little overboost. Depending how much you turned up the duty cycle of your boost solenoids, when that leak closed up again and gave proper duty cycle, surely it wouldn't have overboosted *THAT* much Oh well... Welcome to the club
  8. Much like 90% of Swans followers today, I've been a devoted and PASSIONATE supporter of the team for all of about 2 weeks
  9. Did you buy this from psybic less than a month ago???
  10. I'm sorry to say that I'm pretty sure that you'll be found at fault. Fact is, that you should have made sure it was 110% clear before you started reversing. The whole "going down the wrong way down a one way passage" could give you ammunition to fight it though.... Worth a try I guess? Good luck mate!
  11. Sounds good... You should be fine to get that kind of position with the experience you've got. You just have to wait until a position comes up. It's all about being in the right place at the right time I work for the Advanced IP Technologies branch of IBM and we work with all the cutting edge applications of IP Network architectures. IP Tel, IP Communications, Tandberg/Cisco Video Conferencing, Vocera Wireless Communications, etc... I'd say we do 90% Cisco, and a mixture of Tandberg/Vocera/Nortel/Nokia/HP devices for the remaining 10% when clients request it. Obviously these adv technologies all run over your basic data network, so we have the need for "lower band" engineers to take on the job of setting up LAN/WAN networks, getting QoS running properly to provide us with the guaranteed bandwidth we need to run the above goodies. I know that we were looking for lower band staff a while ago, but I think we've filled those positions. I'll keep an ear open though. You should come to a few monthly dinners so I can meet you. No promises, but a lead is better than no lead

  13. I never thought my European car was a "performance" car BMW: Brings More Women You know, the money-grubbing, self-absorbed and ego-centric kind
  14. Congratulations Keith! Been following your efforts for a long time on GTROC UK edit: I just watched the vid, and I think you shut it down early!!!!
  15. I have a big wang.
  16. What kind of "networking" do you want to do exactly? How old are you? Do you have any tertiary level degrees/diplomas? What "networking" experience do you have? With that technologies? What kind of salary would you be chasing? Oh, and where do you live?
  17. heh People say they're in "IT" when they have jobs ranging from Level 1 Helpdesk to CIOs of multi-billion dollar multi-national companies. "Fields" in IT also range from software engineering (coding software), electrical engineering (building hardware components), networking (designing and implementing data networks), intergration (providing an end-to-end solution for clients, whatever it takes), services (selling your time and expertise to clients to resolve particular needs or issues), etc etc... What *EXACTLY* do you want to do? Tell me EXACTLY what you want to be doing everyday. Do you want to write software? If so, what languages do you want to code in? Also, what KIND of software? open source collaborations? Internal corporate software? or Develop your own software and market it? Do you want to play with networks? If so, what PART of networking? Professional Services? (configuring routers and switches and then going out to client sites and installing them) Pre-Sales? (Lots of client meetings and coming up with several solutions to their needs) Architecture? (Taking the lead from Pre-Sales and actually DESIGNING a working solution for the client) What about maintenance? (Looking after existing customer networks and troubleshooting) Sales? (Selling your companies services and bringing in business) etc etc... (Again, these above examples are job descriptions from the CORPORATE IT industry... But If you're looking to get a job at a smaller company that needs an "IT" person, then your path is easy. Get your MCSE, A+, Checkpoint, CCNA and other certifications like that to show you're an all-rounder and "know a little bit of everything"... Be warned though, those types of jobs (although very easy too land) don't command high salaries and have very very little room for career growth. If you want to be one of those "IT high-rollers", you're going to have to narrow down your skill-set and specialise in one or two areas) What you want to do *EXACTLY* will determine what path you should take. It's impossible for any of us to tell you "How to get into IT".
  18. I don't waste my money on silly things like modifying cars
  19. Mmmmmmm... I want Thai food NOW!!!!!!!1 I might head down to the local thai shop for lunch
  20. $80 for a 20x30 print is extremely cheap.
  21. rrrr: Very interesting car, but we only allow people to post For Sale threads about items that they actually OWN Next time, if you find any other cool cars like this, please post them in the General Automotive section of these forums! Cheers, Andrew. P.S. I have moved this thread to General Automotive forum.
  22. Your avatar works fine.
  23. Both a CCNA and CCDA are pretty useless certifications. They are so basic and easy to obtain, that they really don't give potential employers ANY guarantee of what you know. Seriously, even someone who has held a job in networking for 6 months can pass his CCNA with their eyes closed. Simply put: - a CCNA won't land you a better job in networking than you'd get without one. You'll still only qualify for a very very entry level networking job. - a CCDA is useless without other networking certifications. You're not going to be hired as a Network Architect with a CCDA . CCDA/CCDP is a cert that you chase after you have several years experience in network engineering (device configuration, staging and installs) i.e. hands on stuff, and then want to make the move into a more design/architecture role. Although most large companies worth putting on a resume will only hire CCIEs for architecture roles (CCNP at a minimum). Basically, if you're not going to go for your CCNP or CCDP, don't bother as they won't get your foot further in the door than NOT having a CCNA/CCDA. Oh, and comparing MCSE and CCNA is ridiculous. If you want a job in networking, you can have EVERY SINGLE Microsoft certification offered, and it won't help you ONE IOTA. NADA. NOTHING. GO HOME. DISCLAIMER: The above MAY NOT apply if you're looking for a networking job in a small company that needs a "networking guy" on staff to address simple routing/switching problems. In that case, a CCNA might land you that job. But if you want a "proper" networking role: planning, designing, configuring and rolling out medium to large ($2 million+) networks for external clients, take note of what I posted
