Pays the bills. Still I'd love to get into banking

Haha first person i think ive ever heard say that. But good luck to you. Have you tried going through a job agency? i think there are acouple bankers on here.

I drink coffee think of crap to do email everyone I like have lunch put some more thought in to work.

then go home

Point to this is if you don't receive a email then either i am to busy thinking or i don't like you LOL.

That is what I do for a living.

Hahaha dun i feel like a tool bag... come on give me a little break im newish to this scene!! if it isnt in Hot4s i dun know about it LMAO :banana:

there's re runs of the show on SBS, just check your tv guide.

Never too late to get into top gear. Good entertainment

back on topic...

I work for Nissan in new vehicle sales, It's in a large multi-franchise dealership so it's not like working at some dingy car yard.

Lots of perks such as brand new company cars, company supplied fuel card (life saver at the moment), lots of bonuses from nissan like gift cards and vouchers for doing what I'm paid to do already.

Turns out I'm pretty good at what I do so I'm making a killing and I've been where i am for almost 2 years now, I see lots of guys not even last a month.

Downsides is long work hours, have to work most weekends (just means I can't stay out as late as I used to), some people can be pushy or just d#ckheads, same story when I was working in retail so meh.

evens itself out in the end i guess.

It was all by chance for me lol,

my dad was buying a murano and I came along to keep him company, had a quick conversation with the manager and he invited me to an interview.

I entered the industry as a trainee which means you get stuck with all the bumb jobs and usually a probationary period (average 3 months)

I guess you could ring around and enquire about traineeships at dealerships near your area if you're not experienced in sales.

(I had previous sales experience working for telstra, so it helped a lot).

There were lots of times when I thought about quitting but I stuck to my guns and now it's paid off for me.

It helps if you are motivated about the product you're selling, I couldn't work for Kia lol.

Downsides are long work hours/weekends, but as I said before I was already used to that when I worked in retail.

Some customers act like @rseholes, but you get used to it and just becomes like water off a duck's back.

There are also lots of perks to the job, so you take the good with the bad i guess

If it's something you're passionate about doing and your personal situation allows you to try out a new career for a few months then go for it.

I'm turning 21 this year and I can afford to pay off (and maintain :P ) 2 cars and I'm saving up to buy a house by the middle of next year, nothing special but something to get me started.

More than I can say for most friends/people I know at my age :)

    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
    • I was just going to say that it's good to see you picking up the pace again. Hope the surgery goes well. More downtime just means more time to come up with new ways of digging a deeper rabbithole
