We have official relationships with them. Unlike the army cadets who have a sponsor unit, we just have the RAAF in general. Maybe just RAAF Amberley but even they can't/don't spare us much.

Can you get gear IanB or know anyone that can? We are looking for bush/camo gear mainly. We're still handing out oldschool greens gear and Vietnam packs.

AFAIK my unit (105 Mdm Bty, 1 Fd Rgt) allready sponsors a caddy unit, but I will have a chat to the Quatermaster next time im up that way to see what can be done. Alot of the new stuff is in short supply even for the actual Army itself, things like the Australian badge that go's on the velcro strips of the new cams are worth their weight in gold at the moment, however being a caddy unit im not sure if you guys even wear them? As to feild gear, I will see what I can do, I dont have a whole lot of weight so all I can do is ask, there may be some old stuff from former soliders who have left the army that we can give to you rather then destroying it. I make no promises however as I play no part in the decision making process.

I should also be able to put you in contact with the appropriate people to talk to about sponsorship, however I dont know how its going to go, the whole Army vs RAAF thing, I suspect they will say go ask a RAAF unit.

I can also get you unmarked stuff from the uniform store, provided your willing to re-imburse me the costs. I will just have to run it past my superiors to make sure its all legit and ok. The stuffs pretty cheap, we get it at discounted rates.

Send me a PM with more specifics about what your after and how much. I might be able to help you out.

well thinking of it not sure because i may go to my uncle in bowen stay there for a year for free whilst im applying and pick fruit in the seasons

because you can get $500-$1000 a week doing that

once i finish school

I used to live in a place called Shepparton (NON ARMY RELATED) and its pretty much the fruit salad bowl of the country, companyies like SPC (now ownded by Coca-cola) ARDMONA and GOULBERN VALLEY fruit allll comes from there, i practically lived next to the orchids and my parents think fruit picking is an easy allways needed job, they picked cheeries etc, not too bad.....sometimes you get paid by how full your bins are, sometimes hours

but......yes....its a good holiday/weekend job

I made 3000 dollars in 6 and a half weeks when I was at kapooka after I joined the reserves... I was only 17 at the time, it was quite good money, cash in the pocket and tax free, no need to declare it to johny. I also got about a grand worth of free gear, boots, pack, webbing etc and learnt a few things while I was down there to boot...

lol can i possibly mention you will get many love from the ladies ya?

When they seen your biceps and your fit army muscles heh heh

Ultimate WIN

I want my 2 minutes back.

Hahaha i just skipped all the mumbo jumbo army talk, :D called selective reading me dear!

i was once a paper girl for a year and a half yeah yeah?

Then took up dancing and acting yeah yeah?

Oh cant forget the passion for beauty therapy whilst working at target cosmetics for a year and a half :O

You know, once i crawled through mud too :D and ran....errrm cross country

I work at RAAF AMB. There is a small no. of skylines on base obviously most of them are 33's. AFAIK I'm the only 34 owner and if my mate still works at 410 he's the only Stagea owner.

Can you be more specific in what you want and what the gear will be used for as I know the guy in the field kit store. I lean over the counter and help myself sometimes.

Awesome. I might see you down there. I'll be there probably next weekend for a bit. Ive seen a couple of R32's near the Transit block (cadets stay there on holidays) or near the blocks near the Airmens Mess. What do you do at Amberley?

Gear we are after is usually webbing, packs, assorted pouches, belts, DPCU clothing (cadets get issued shirt and pants but usually use old Greens jumpers/jackets/hats), scrim. Just anything for going out bush really. If there is a way of buying or obtaining old hootchies, ground sheets, poncho's or even an 11x11 tent, that would be really really awesome.

I'm a Supplier. I don't live on though.

Geez I could've helped you out with a fair bit of that gear as there were some changes last year.

PMs are better for more detailed talk.

Nice story though Prego but 'Ants' (cadets) can be a bunch of dirty lil people especially the things I've heard.

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
