Thats something that would shit me too

Theyre >sitting< in their offices and doing non manual labour - they got their aircons tho, probably reverse cycle, chewing up 3kw of power per hour

Factory workers, busting their arses in hot weather and they get given a spray bottle? Nigga please

Time for a riot (or to get the union to do their damn job for a change)

+1

our bosses sit in an a/c office all shift and come out for maybe 5 minutes a night to give everyone the eagle eye and go back to there 20 degree room :P we move tons of freight hourly by hand rain hail or shine. i get paid decent to do it so i dont care heaps but to make us work in 40+ heat for the same wage and same hours is bit of a joke

cheers for that Damo and Krishy. Emailed a resume off and got an email back saying yes, your cover letter sounds like you are a very good candidate, but your resume is in a format we are unable to open.

More than likely thats happened to the 10+ jobs i have applied for, and heard nothing back..ergh.

Actually gets a bit chilly sitting around in datacenters/server rooms, now if only IBM graced us with variable fan controls.

You could always just sit infront of some cisco routers or a NAS cluster :P

I love server room aircon. Nothing quite like 24'c constant when you're in a collared shirt

When I worked at the winery it could get a touch warm, but they have evaporative aircon in 90% of the work area, some even have refridgerative. Only 1 hall doesnt have anything but the building is coming up on a 100 years old so its pretty cool anyway plus there is no heavy machinery in it.

At my current job which is still manual handling the whole place except the dock is climate controlled to (what feels like) low 20's.

I feel for ya though guys :P

Anyone know the policy about a factory closure due to warm weather? Like, a law.. that says you have to close it once it gets to a certain temp like back at school?

every employer will have a different thing

our heat policy is basically this

- have plenty of breaks

- drink as much as you can

- take measures to get out of the heat as much as possible

so basically i leave the truck running while aloft, we've got the windows up and the a/c on. carry 10 litres of ice water on board, and most of that gets drunk during the day, and once our run is complete we go back into the depot and sit in the lunchroom till knock off

Some peeps may have heard of The Tunnels just up the road from me in Panorama........they're used to store wine now and maintain a constant cool temperature.

Be nice to park myself in there for the next week or so with a big screen TV and access to the various Grange bottles in there :P

Some History: The Tunnels

The tunnels were built in 1880. The first ever tunnels built in South Australia, they opened up the line between Adelaide and Melbourne. The tunnels were decommissioned in 1920 when a new tunnel was built to eliminate the problem of sharp bends, single line and an inadequate viaduct.

The Tunnels were used during the war to store government documents and artworks.

The tunnels were transformed in 2003 and became The Tunnels Wine Storage.

    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work 
    • You can just get the injector bosses, which allows top feeds to fit. He can use the same injectors without issue, like these (another option): https://rocketindustries.com.au/af59-2210-rb25-fuel-injector-inserts     The Racework ones look a bit better: https://www.nzefi.com/product/raceworks-lower-injector-mounting-boss-kit-for-r33-rb25det-s14-s15-sr20det/   You could also just get a similar kit like the Radium one by Plazmaman: https://plazmaman.com/product/nissan-rb25det-r33-billet-fuel-rail/?srsltid=AfmBOoogfYq49X0fu2Wdbf8yOf6zt9egyPAif_gn3Qr3G8hzAphhTgOkO70
