thanks matty, definitely good to be home. never been OS before, bit of culture shock for the first couple of days, but when you get used to the 32+ degrees and stupidly close to 100% humidity, its alright. stayed for 10 nights, just enough time to make me enjoy coming home.

yeah and more $$$

f**k it, ill keep sliding the 31, dont care what others say.

eventually it will more than likely come to an end, THEN ill worry about another set up.

Kye, organise a private day!

i cant say iv ever driven a CA, its just the thought of a 4 cyl makes me feel all dirty

Think you need to come for a drive in my car as well Craig, nothing dirty about a 4 cylinder champ....

ANYONE HERE WORK AT THE MINES OR RIGS?

Getting close to finishing my studies and need some hook ups.

Cheers

if i still worked at BHP I'd have been able to put u in contact with a HR manager... ;\

best bet is to get a copy of any certifications you have (such as forklift licences, heavy vehicle licences, tradie stuff) and forward it to the HR manager @ 55 Grenfell St, Adelaide, 5000 and make sure your cover letter is 100% awesome enough that they put u on file. They will eventually be turning OD into an open cut mine which will eventually be very labour intensive, I just don't know when its going to happen.

Other thing is, there are a few other natural resource companies that are based in SA like petratherm, they are small outfits now but just about all of them are projecting exponential growth once their mines/taps become operational, so I'd also be doing some research about the different companies around here. Some are based around ores but there are also LNG and thermal/solar/wind to consider too

Whats your trade?

-D

What sorta stuff you interested in Kye???

Hey mate, I'd really really like to get into mudlogging on a rig but I'm not overly fussed.

I'll be qualified in pretty much geoscience areas so I'll have to work around the geologists mainly.

hey bud, I'll be qualified in mining exploration and diploma in geoscience.

I've got first hand information through an industry orientation lesson about a few places (mainly rig based) and all my info regarding PIRSA.

Also my girlfriends dad worked for Rio pretty high up too but I'm trying to attack this job hunting every which way I can through as many different contact as possible! Due to this stupid tax purposal, a lot of natural reasource companies have slow production till it's all sorted so getting in can take some time right now.

I've got petratherm on my list a long with beach petrolium. Hot rocks seem to be the way of the future but at the moment their only small areas in a huge industry at the moment.

Going to be busting out the resumes everywhere just seeing if anyones got direct contact so I can bypass all the crap along the way and hopfully snake a few people :)

cheers

    • Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.
    • I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
    • Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?
    • Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.
    • Emissions, fuel consumption, heat, noise, etc. most likely.
