hi. ive recently split with my partner and need a change. im currently earning about 45k working fulltime as an engineer in a hotel, but want to do something different.

anything really, but with similar or better pay. my current position has no room to move up through the company, so i need to move. Any industry but preferably not on the tools anymore, but i am used to being flat out everyday so i wouldnt mind at all depending on the work. I really would like to get a less physical kind of job tho and see where i can take it. maybe entry level but with room to grow quickly.

i have plumbing, carpentry, electrical, plastering, painting, interior design, lighting design, tiling, cabling etc etc skills. i build hotel rooms basically, as well as caring for the plant equipment etc. for a large sydney city hotel (300+ rooms, 2 restauraunts).

i have previous experience in window retrofitting with Sydney Windows, was a bike assembler, designed and built racks for an electroplating firm and a few otehr things. whatever i try i can do. Customer service is a given, i meet a lot of guests in the hotel and they are always pissed off when i enter and happy when i leave, as i can fix anything quickly while having a good conversation.

i was also a qualified pool lifeguard. i think my resus has expired but i still have bronze medallion and first aid.

also have uni-level chemistry, biology, engineering and mathematics education (3rd year arts/sciences, first year engineering) but quit for financial reasons, the plan was for me to work while my partner was at uni and then swap, but i guess that wont be happening now so im stuck working

any help is greatly appreciated. i realise i have few qualifications but i have a lot of experience in a lot of areas. i am a fun young man, who is happy to work hard. wish me luck.

      Rob's S Chassis track cars. Now with more s15 and less 180sx

      A little more work this week.  Fitted astra power steering pump in the boot with a lowe fabrication bracket. Gave the pump a good clean, fitted Anderson plug and high pressure fitting. With the intercooler being flipped under rad support factory headlights weren't going to work. Ordered a set of origin battle lights, they arrived so got them test fitted. Will require some fiddling to fit nice but was an easy quick option for now. And today we pulled out the manual Rb gearbox and test fitted a ZF 8HP50. It will fit with some casting tabs cut off and small tap of the tunnel with a hammer. Pick up the adapter plate Wednesday so hopefully all bolted in Friday and measure for tailshaft which will be a 2 piece. Been doing a lot of ecu, pdm and tcu loom design so when comes to wiring it in a few weeks will all go smoothly.

      FYP. Sadly. Even bolt cutters wouldn't take 2 sec. But in the days of 18v angle grinders, nothing is safe.

      One piece driveshaft I would recommend a dual CV setup otherwise stick to OEM. I have heard most one piece driveshafts cause excess vibration otherwise. The transmission grind I'm quite familiar with. You can try shockproof gear oil, otherwise you need a new transmission. The shifter is extremely simple on these cars. If you want pull apart the assembly and replace the plastic bushing but I doubt that fixes anything. The tail light issue is very common, unfortunately new tail lights are long discontinued. The trunk antenna going up always is because your radio doesn't have a true power antenna control, just remote amp power signal. There is a blank switch plate that you can pop out and install a switch for this or alternatively source a head unit that has proper antenna control. Throttle body sticking you have to disambiguate by disconnecting the cable and seeing if the linkages are the problem or something else. There is a procedure to adjust them, refreshing them is also somewhat involved if that's the issue. I have dealt with many of these issues. Old cars really are fractals of problems. The more you fix the more you discover there is to fix.

      Welp, you've got a long list of experiences right there. I'd say you're on the right path.

      That's correct, suits my requirements a bit better. Sure there are also numpties there, however it's generally a different vibe and more my kind of vibe.
