If I decide not to work in the rain or infact walk to the job and get wet then be expected to work on electrical equipment and tell my foreman that it's to risky what do you think would happen? I KNOW They tell you to get f**ked...

it works both ways people, thats why we have union and safety reps on the job to say when it ok or not, some SS do the wrong thing and get a bad name and some good SS do the right thing yet still get a bad name...

I have worked in countrys were it is against the law to be a member...or even start a workers union...this certain country has similar construction death rate to that of singapore...

we could all go on for hours..

Safety, Unions.....

The point is people get upset that they take things a bit too far.

We are in one of the best countries in the world with a wealth of oppurtunities and they want to milk it for every friggin cent. Then they cry when theres no work, go figure.

This thread will go nowhere and could go forever. And the last thing we want is for another week of tools down because a member read this thread and cant work because he is emotionally scarred we cursed his blessed gravy train, i mean union.

Thats a no brainer though...who in their right mind would get you to work with electrical equip in the rain...But wiring up a panel that isnt live etc etc???

Yeh, could go on for days... ;)

Biggest thing is, if union sites were so much safer then nbo union sites where managers/supervisors are encouragign all these dangerous practices...then why is there no difference in accidents/fatalaties/injuries etc?

    • Thanks for the reply, So i've continued playing around, and fitted the injector adaptors onto the injector, the fuel rail is not able to be mounted now as the injectors sit a bit further out. I suppose the point of the adaptors is so that the injector nozzle isn't so deep into the intake? I suppose 1mm extra on the o-ring would do it but still can't mount the rail onto the intake haha. Waiting on a reply from Aeroflow I'm sure there's something stupid that I'm missing...
    • EMJ33 or EJM33 - west end
    • I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?    
    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys.
