Tafe cert 3 is a waste, Ben and I had this discussion a few weeks ago,,, the IT market in Adelaide is saturated which drives the pay down, but hey if you want a job, EDS helpdesk will hire you... they will hire anyone with a heartbeat and can turn on a PC..lol

a few good jobs exist in IT, mostly working out on military projects in the dirty north.

too many kids will work in IT for 25k in this town..lol when before they would command 45k + which is still lousy pay for how much you have to know

Yeah it took me a long time to earn the wage I get now, and its all based upon actual skills (I'm not yet RHCE certified but close)... $35-45k jobs were all I was able to get up until a couple of years ago when I had some specific skills that were required (and my 15 years experience in the field).... EDS, CSC, etc are all big corps that pay a decent wage for their employees however it can be a bit like shooting yourself in the foot - you can get stuck doing mundane work without actually learning anything and thats where the problem lies - in IT you constantly have to be upskilling as the industry changes every few months (hardware, software, marketing directions, financial climate etc)... and it can change very very quickly.

If I was doing in Syd what I'm doing here, I'd probably be earning another $20k on top... that seems to be the general rule of thumb... only downer is Sydney is expensive and that extra $20k really negates itself in terms of lifestyle.. hopefully we start getting paid more as our cost of living increases but so far its been a bit disappointing.

Other thing with IT is that there are loads of people who say they deliver services, such as onsite companies and PC repair shops but the actually skilling is generally disapoointing. There are also a lot of dodgy people in the IT game that don't care about reputation or the quality of their work and they let it down for everyone. I've had the fortune to work at some great places (like my current employer) but sad to say at least half the places I've worked have left me very disappointed with their ethics, management or simply their procedures (or lack thereof)...

-D

EDIT : The only things that are defence related in IT are generally software development. DSTO is a client of ours and we look after their infrastructure and certain niche applications but the lions share of defence work is code.

the GKtech stuff is normally pretty good i have not really ever heard of any complaits on NS which is where Greg sells most of his stuff. Reason it look shitty on the inside is because it's welded on the inside, pretty much all the other dumps (Advance, CES) are only welded on the rear of the flange and not on the inside.

If you get your money back go and get an advance one piece, they are as good as CES IMO and they are in Adelaide.

      "CAD" version 1.0 It will have a 15mm lip around the top for 6 × 5 or 6mm nutserts and fixtures (two on each of the three straight edges), and some pinch weld on any exposed edges, it has three mounting points, one of the power steering reservoir bolts, and two on the rad support, my 120mm hole saw will make short work of hole for the silicone joiner, with ample room for some pinch weld  I've also got enough Carbuilders "peel and stick" heat shield to cover the outside of it at the coolant expansion tank and on the engine side, as pictured, and internally on the lid and where the fuse box is, I've also got some thin, about 3mm, black 3M single sided sticky foam stuff that was left over after sealing some door drafts at home to help seal the lid As for the shape, it "sort of" matches the shape of the fuse box, so shouldn't look to "out of place" The lower area and hole for the intake will need pinch weld with a balloon on it to fully seal the hole and bottom of it, that will happen after it has been fabricated so I know exactly what size is required  Filter service has been trialed,  and so far it was a simple process  Just need to get some alloy, and then head into work to use the guillotine and break press in the workshop Hopefully it should be sorted in a week or two Guestimated outlay will be under a $50 for the stuff I don't have on hand (alloy, 6mm nutserts, the pinch weld, and wrinkle paint) Disclaimer: That's what the "voices in my head" are telling me how the filter box should end up getting done......lets see if they know what they are talking about

      Have been polishing up the trailer rims as they had been sitting in the shed for a few years and are really in need of some love. This was after a couple of passes with chrome polish - coming up quite well ✅ .

      Welcome aboard! Is your Skyline auto or manual? I'm assuming manual. Does it have any mods done yet?

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Hey mate, the brown and grey plugs would usually go to the TPS, brown one goes on the bottom connector and grey is the top but isn't used unless the car is auto, your TPS looks different to mine though I've got a series 2 engine.
