Yeah seen that plenty of times. Funny as. Reminds me of my Grandfather. He was a boxer in WW2 and he could still hit em hard before he died at 82yo.

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

    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
    • Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
    • You would need to paint your hardtop again though
    • I have an old R32 in the shed that hasnt moved much in the last few years and probably should see the light of day. At one point I had a Nismo 1.5 centre put in the rear diff. It is a clunky nightmare POS of a thing on a good day. To make it less painful the initial torque setting has been put on the minimum (7.0kgf-m, mid is 9.5, high is 14) and the oil changed out to something more slippery. But it is still awful and ruins the vibe of the thing. So my questions are: Given I have the original parts sitting in a box somewhere would it be better to rebuild the thing again, reverting to more purity? Is there a standard kit or do you just go and replace the friction plates etc and shim it the way you like it. How much initial torque does the standard R32 rear diff have? Or does the Nismo disc kit offer a better solution - the caveat being the initial torque for both options appears to be higher than the clunky 1.5 way. There appear to be two Nismo disc kits: 3843S-RS520 for 8kgf-m. 3843S-RS521 for 12kgf-m. Or is the easiest solution to reshim the Nismo diff to make it looser?
