I wasn't expecting huge money, but $17ph was a bit of an insult

[Seano350GT]

I'm on $18 an hour Jono.. but in saying that i do make around 3-4 grand in bonuses/commission monthly. I would LOVE to be making that weekly!

[dysonest]

Ah true, what sort of ute is it for? I can try get you some prices from here if you want

I'm on $40ph now, in town, airconned office, I'm the boss, and I can come and go when I please, so its probably not worth it. I'll just have another look next year and see if I still want a change in career.

Thanks for all the advice though, appreciate it

Will do, definitely not good form from someone like Thiess.

Its not like I am some young di.ckhead with no clue, absolutely no life experience, getting drunk every night of the week.

I'm an old di.ckhead.

Off topic from money-

I was speaking to a guy in the states on the topic of gearbox and diff oils and he seemed to think Redline oils were bad and to stay away from them and that Amsoil oils are much much better.

thoughts? Everyone i've ever spoken to that runs Redline oils reps it well so i find this hard to believe.

[KING87]

I run royal purple oils in my car. Although I have not heard anything bad about redline.

[robbo_rb180]

I'm having a tuff choice on a braking package for my 180sx. I can't run my existing AP Racing Brake package i had on my GTR as it is huge and bit too heavy and won't fit behind my wheels. I have decided to sell them to Jordan for his GTR which will look pretty deadly.

At the moment i will be running R33 GTR 2 piston Brembo's on the rear which is cool as the car will probably weigh anything from 1000-1150kg. So big brakes are over kill.

just get 33gtr fronts with project mu rotors and some decent pads, a mate has that setup on his 180 and it is great for circuit. make sure you use a bm50.

mafia- i see that as great money, when i did my first apprenticeship i was on $5.50/hr. being mature age you should also be able to do it in 2.5yrs.

I Run Redline Oil in the R32 Drag Car gearbox as per recommended by everyone one I have ever talked to. Seems to be pretty good stuff a lil expensive but hey its a $11k gearbox so its gotta have the best.

Yeah my old man spoke to John from UAS and he said most time attack Silvia's just run stock brembo system but the car has to be light. I am running a Tilton pedal box with dual brake reservoirs so will have plenty of grunt.

Thanks for that benny, i guess they are both just as good as eachother.

[Nur33]

Looks like I am going to be running Brembo Brakes off a Nascar just waiting for old mate in the USA to get back to about shipping. They are the ducks nuts One piece monoblock calipers with titanium pistons, Big Piston 4 pot fronts 330mm rotors front and Small Piston 4 Pot Rears 300mm Rotors. Surprisingly cheap just have to get custom dog bones and lightweight rotors made, no biggie. Can't wait to test these out gonna put me through the windscreen.

I run Redline Lightweight Shockproof in my gearbox and its better then ever. All good that stuff

Sheep....? It's proven to work.... to a point.

We tested it in a S15 running a Rb25 cogswapper, was great! until the shit got hot and basically became glue... and when I mean glue, it wouldnt let the shifter move from 3rd cog...

Swapped it out (went in because I have it in the GTR's PPG box) and had no more problems even in same form of flogging.

as posted Above.

Coincidentally, I gave PPG a call today and had a chat about oil to use with my gearset. And will be moving to Martini 75-140 as soon as I am ready to swap the redline oil out.

Did Redline Exist when your Car was last on the road

I get your point, its been a bit hit and miss lately. Some people complaining about it shooting out the breathers and after x amount of km it becomes worse then its ever been with any other oil

Mine is better off with it. But not for everyone. I cant say a bad word about them for that reason
