I'ev been bumming around SAU for awhile, anyways, its a great site, but lets get to the point, im currently studying in yr11, i wanna get my Vet auto completed (We start our Vet in yr10) and after this year, i was think of doing a apprenticeship, thats if i feel that school just doesnt cut it for me, im very devoted to cars, being part of my life, i guess i cant live wit out them. What im trying to say is that, is it posible that performance shops like CreatD, RaceLine motorsports and Ice Performance , in melb, me for apprenticeship. I know this sounds kinds dumb :D , but i wanna work with imports, not just your average family cars you know, doesnt intrest me as much as imports. I have a fair bit of knowledge, thanks to everyone in SAU, i try to read most of your post, and High Performance Import mags, and learn from your experiences. I just wanna know what you guys/girls reckon, is it possible to even get into working with performance shop, but more get an apprenticeship with them, My brother owns a Skyline GTS25T, so yes i'ev worked around imports before. :)

Don't take me for another fool, who just says they like imports because their cool, and wanna work wit them. Im very serious about this so yeah.

Feel free to comment, i wanna know what you reckon.

mate, sounds like you have a good attitude and that counts for a lot. If you can show dedication through background knowledge and a genuine interest to stick with it and put the hard yards in, you're probably in front of the pack already.

If you have a photo/work log of your Vet, take it allong as a kind of portfolio for your work. Use it as a prop to get them into a convo about possibly taking on an apprentice. Let them know what you are interseted in and where you see yourself after school.

good luck!

    • Yeah - My key still does the chime thing. I followed the procedure but it didn't activate on the (identical) third set of keyfob that I had. I vaguely remember the alarm saying you can only pair two keys with it. Now that I've dug it up, it appears that you very much can pair keyfobs to the alarm system. (which are the fobs I use to unlock the car). I have successfully diverted the thread and can probably not use the OEM keyfob ever again unless I use the aftermarket alarm and attempt to pair the OEM keyfob to it. Which might just work, or not :D. I definitely used the nissan method and not the aftermarket alarm method.
    • What makes it worse is that Nissan made keys in the same style, for example R34 and Stagea, but they work at different frequencies or something like that. So they look the same but the remotes are not interchangeable. I learned that from some guy selling aftermarket blank keys.
    • Does your door chime work when you have the key in the lock and open the door? I've had that disabled because it's f**king annoying and it is one thing that messes with the pairing. Because now the car doesn't detect key in ignition anymore and the slide-key-in-and-out sequence does not trigger the pairing mode anymore. The service manual has a section on the various bits involved in doing the syncing. I presume it'll be similar between Stagea and R34.
    • Agree, but meh, I think is is based more on LOLS than actually apples to apples, like, who would have thunk a turbo 4 cylinder would not beat a NA 4 cylinder  I think with just basic N/A mods, like a exhaust and tune, it would be equal to the Mini in its current form, maybe I know my current 2.5 would "chop the mini" as the midrange now has a night and day difference in power delivery compared to the tuned 2.0, by around 20kwatw and 30nm from around 2k rpm "ish"....... I'm kinda hoping that they do a N/A build, either with the MZR 2.0 or with whatever they decide to use If I recall correctly they did talk about K swapping one a while ago
    • Can't see that being a thing.
