Mackay is the HSV capital of Australia, why are the locals letting you cut in on their market? watch your back while your up there... :nyaanyaa:

With regards to that 33, considering its got no rego i'd expect 20K for it. Considering he was asking 23K for it before, it seems pretty normal.

Haha yes i know but when the local dealer is charging 5k more for the same product and offering crap service then it is easy to move cars up there. They should be making a killing up there but they dont.

Yup. sell new holden and hsv. well trying to atm as it is very quiet.

Ahh really? I bought a new holden at work yesterday, a colorado. What dealer are you at? Should have talked to you >_<

Morning Mangs. Nother day nother dollar fiddy. :thumbsup:

I only get the fiddy :(

On the flip side I get free steak and my job description is "make sure hot chicks get drunk and have a good time" so I guess it kind of evens out :)

I'll ask some of my mates if they're willing to go take a look.

Also, what makes it dodgy?

It is as close to stock as you will find, low km's with documents. Price is comparable to other BNR33's of the same year.

If you know anyone in that area, I'm willing to pay for their time to drive out there etc.

I thought it looked a little bit dodgy due to it being "stock" and for some reason having carbon bits on the exterior and through the interior, as well as the engine being too clean to be 15 years old. Having said that though, could have just been given a full detail when it was brought into the country. He says he has 12months rego, I might send him an email today and ask more about it.

I will have to drive it back to brisbane so I'm hoping it won't fall apart 20 k's down the road. It seemed dodgy because it looks just too good to be true, considering the cleaner, *low* km ones are about 23-26. Having said that it I'd be kicking myself if next week someone else posts up they got it for a steal and it's in tip top condition.

Mackay... ugh. I lived there from year 11 - year 12. At our year 12 graduation I was surprised at the lack of ambition amongst the kids there. We were asked to say what we wanted to do after school and the presenter would read it out as we came on the stage to accept the certificate. 98% of the girls said "Become a hairdresser and marry a rich miner" 98% of the guys said "Get a trade and work in the mines." Needless to say I jumped ship that day and drove to Brisbane (on my L's whattuppppp) 4 years on I'm now IT for BHP.. so I guess I went the same way haha.

Get trade, work in mines, ?????, Profit!

Truck drivers up there make at least double what I do, tradesmen more like 3 times what I make. I often wonder what I am doing running pubs... But then I go back to finishing the cocktail I'm making for the hot blonde with big tits ;)

They're also dropkicks. I've been up there a few times and they certainly work for their money .. well most of them do anyway. Talking 12 - 16 hour shifts for 7 days in a row with 3 days off, or alternate rosters such as 5 on 2 off etc. My favourite is 7 on 7 off but that's either Mt Isa or Groote Eyelandt.

I think a lot more people here in Brisbane are catching onto it, certainly a lot of the younger guys are anyway. Mackay 5 / 6 years ago when I moved up there was hard to find rent for our family when I was living with my Mum, I'd hate to imagine it now considering how flooded it is with young guys and HR licenses.

Agreed. Most contracts you see via Brisbane are 14/7 or 8/6 FIFO so not too bad when you're pulling down six figures plus. I've looked at jobs running the camps and F&B operations in the mines as well. Great coin for what I basically do now, not sure if I could handle the isolation and the lack ofcontact with people other than CUB's.

I honestly wouldn't relocate or work up there full time in my field. The work is better but there's only a 10k site allowance on top of usual salary now if I was on the usual 5/2 roster for the bowen basin, I'd be getting on a flight on a friday night and flying back sunday night, with a group of mates here and into cars etc, I'm not sure the extra $80 a week is really worth it which is why I go up there for the occasional switch upgrade every once and a while, it works out better financially as they pay for flights up and back whereas normally you would be on your own there.

I should also add that IT are the lowest paid on site.

    • Meh, it's only got to last another 10 years or so until you'll be forbidden to drive it. Keep it dry and forget about it.
    • The title of Engineer is not protected. However different states have different rules about what an Engineer requires to operate. Engineering for a motor vehicle modification is very different to engineering for a bridge, electronics, etc, including what that engineer needs as certifications.   In Canberra, "Engineer" is the loosest category with basically nothing stopping you calling yourself and engineer and designing a bridge or building. From what I've reviewed, QLD has the strictest requirements through RPEIQ.
    • Yeap, legal modifications are limited  We have rules and regulations on what you can do legally This is for NSW, other states have different governing bodies  https://www.nsw.gov.au/driving-boating-and-transport/vehicle-registration/how-to-register/registering-a-used-or-secondhand-vehicle/modified-and-non-standard-vehicles https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf Lots of people just roll the dice though and just hope they don't get picked up,  as the police and RMS occasionally run roadside inspections, getting "defected" for not complying can be a painful and expensive experience 
    • Out of curiosity, I believe the title of "Engineer" is not protected in Australia like it is over here. I'm curious, does Australia actually have professional engineers do vehicle inspections?  If so, Jesus Christ what in the f**k.
