i said atleast 10K

i wouldn't say the 40K are given to me, i did work for most of it. i could've got ~$400/week, take away the $200 "spending money" and save the other $200 which would add up to almost 30K over the last 3 years. sometimes at the end of the week if i still have some cash left i don't take any money from him at all. i'm just gonna spend it on pointless shit anyway... but yeah being a family business definitely helps alot

hmmmz he's not looking for more workers at the moment but i'll let him know anyway

Yeah that's what I meant, you're not getting 'paid' but you're getting money from your parents anyway, so it works out the same when it's him you're working for..Same way my cousins grew up...They worked a shit load of hours, didn't really get paid, but all lived rent free til they got married (pretty much the standard wog way anyway) and all had clubsports with petrol cards when they were 21 etc...works out in the end..

I didn't think you'd be after a first year, but thought I'd mention it anyway lol...I CAN'T work for chicken feed though...pre-app average score was 96.5% if that helps :P

don't buy a VIV car you f**king knobgobbler. It needs to be fixed, then go through a VIV inspection by an engineer etc. too much hassle.

my current golf wasn't hail damaged, the one I bought just before this was, kept it for a week, then flipped it for profit and bought this one.

okay.

drive would be nice right now.. where to go?

yep thats pretty much how it is, works out just fine.

lol he doesn't usually care about year level its just that its pretty quiet at the moment and has been for the last few months, we'll see if it picks up later on...

If my car wasn't such a heap of shit I'd go for a drive right now. Can't be f**ked going out tonight but a drive to nowhere would be good

doesnt really matter what car aslong as it doesnt break down lol

if youre gonna buy a beemer that looks as pretty as a human foreskin cos you've got a limited budget, you might as well go back another generation and get an E30 M3 2.5L.

Goodluck finding a decent one though

It was a nice night so I thought I might go for a drive, first time over the westgate in my car at night in a very very long time... Highway patrol was setup on the westgate on the way home. Ended up going Lygon Street, heaps of cars out and about

saw you drive past on lygon street. Saw a r33 with proper offset and knew it had to be you haha

think it's 100k once you include super as well. not sure, haven't looked at my contract since I threatened to quit about 8 months ago.

for what I do, in melb its about right, but in syd I should be sittin on 120k.

nice.

If anyone wanted to earn big bucks they would move to the mining industry. Those guys are handing out shitloads of dollars. Got a couple of friends who work on oil rigs. One of them did 84 days straight. Pays a heap but not an easy life doing 12hrs everyday and stuck on an oil rig

A few electricians I've met that have worked on mines in W.A have NFI. We had them help us with a job over there, and they couldn't even tell the difference of a DOL vs. VSD, and wiring a 3-phase motor in delta or star. I'm hoping its not the vast majority...could possibly be why they weren't working on the mines anymore.

As for my career, I'm contemplating trying to get my foot in the door eventually with PLC programming. Had a little taste of it doing maintenance at Schweppes a week ago, and quite like it.

Do you guys wire up new houses or just maintenance and installations etc in existing houses?

and it probably would break down + front tires are almost down to belts, so shouldn't drive it anywhere I don't need too...

i wanna go for a nice long drive tomorrow, where to go indeed...

thinking Shepparton but it seems boring up there

f**k that, not much to do in Shepparton and the drive is boring as well

    • From there it is trickier. Ecutek seems to be one of those closed ecosystems where everyone password protects their tunes which means I either choose a tuner and can't change from them and can't make any changes myself for any reason, or I have to buy the tuning software (about $4k) and then get someone to tune from scratch (which is not simple with all the multi dimensional tables these days). Once you buy about 300 "flash points" per ECU you can get it tuned and add their "RaceROM" function which hacks extra functionality like launch control onto the ECU, and also makes extra data available for logging over CAN Not sure what I'll do there yet; I'm tempted to use one of the overseas shops that does billions of remote tunes of the platform instead of starting from scratch locally, a lot can be done online these days.
    • Can I log IAT eh? Well, can now So next thing was looking at data logging. Not straight forward because none of the motorsport displays have cracked the nissan/inifinti CAN and ECU based displays don't do g logging, lap timing, predictive laps etc.  So, I bought an Ecutek dongle from Tunehouse (Oz distributor). Even without a tune onboard that allows display and logging of about 50 parameters via Android (and presumably iOS) app. Approx 600 for the bluetooth + Usb version That gives me (pretty ugly but) functional dash display on Android And logging of these parameters I'll play around a bit over the break, but at least now I can make sure I have oil pressure when I get to some track testing.  
    • I don't know what globes/headlight connector they run, but I'd be looking for a female adapter to plug into the existing headlight on one side. Something like this https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/256017245989 Then I'd use a pair of single input, double output relays (one for low, one for high), mount them in a spare space in the fuse box if you want to to look more original (and be easier to maintain). Then 2 new power sources from the main stud in the fuse box via a fuse to each relay. Low from the headlight adapter pin triggers low relay and high from the high headlight adapter pin triggers high and low. Earth the relays and new headlight sockets and off you go. Because it triggers off the original headlight all of the dipping/hi on/high flash all still works
    • I reached 10 posts and wanted to make my build thread too but still can't add pictures to posts so I have no idea how it works 😂
