Well thers one particular guy at work who constantly calls me a hoon.. And when I showed him a pic of my car hes goes "Shit.. that exhaust would be loud" I'm like... err no.

He kept going on about it (he had the $16000 machine) so I said "For **** sake, pick up taht stupid machine, come with me and we will test it" he goes "ok"

So off we went (undercover carpark I might add so it was resinating off the walls) and he tested it.

Then he goes "Ok.. maybe its not loud" I said "I'll accept your apology shall I?"

Oh.. Hi Paul... (i think his name is :D)

I just got a phone call from one of the places I sent my resume too.. I got a job interview tomorrow :( Hooray.. A diesel supplies place. I should fit in really well :) Wear my stubbies and double pluggers. SHe'll be right mate!

Uhm. I work near the personnel area. They just whinge and bitch about each other all the time. I just sit and listen and laugh.

In my area, I'm the lowest ranking (AO2) I get along really easily with them. They are all AO6 - SO1, so they are all mature and don't bitch. We swear, muck around, joke. It's awesome. I love them but unfortunately I"m only temporary so I *NEED* a permanent job to keep my car.

I don't give a shit about other bills. Just my car :D

Whats a car dealership like?

I don't really want to go into a real estate type area.

I really want to work somewhere with cars. Either a car dealership :D or a mechanics or distributor. Anything to do with cars.

But, because I've only had public service experience where I dont know much of the dealings of a private firm, no one wants to give me a job.

Are you having major reforms in your public service jobs over there like we are here??

i used to do fleet management for the govt! now that was a Sweet job :D love fleet management! but with the merger the position no longer existed and i got shifted to a different one that im not enjoying!

Haha.. I'm only employed till the 30th of June too... Our area isn't included atm. Only personnel and finance. It sucks hey. But for someone in my position (and i suppose yours too) I look at it like for 1) they still have a job. 2) they have more opportunities and 3) its a great way to meet more people and network. I really don't see why people are going home crying everynight and going out on stress leave. Is this the situation over there too??

I just want a job. If they want to leave and get out, I"ll have there job.

Maybe we should start up some type of Female Skyline pimp business :D

Michael, I have a job and 2 and a half years experience to go with it and I still can't get a job. And I work for the government (particularly with all the security requirements).

I said to my boss at the moment at work "****en hell, I've got a job and experience and I still can't get a friggen job"

Most of the time I think it's because I am employed atm and the company can't be bothered going through the whole waiting period for me to leave my current employment and start there.

yours gets scanned erin? hmmm i know we've got systems in place we're allowed the net and email for ltd personal useage but with some of the stuff the IT guys send me - they would be fired if it got scanned!

Yeah people stress here too - hehe one girl gets blood noses - ok not funny for her but its such a wussy thing ot have!

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
