Lol yeah because I chose to stick around with dad and learn shit than go do shit with friends. Go from school to work then home. Also. I don't think wearing clean gray tradie shorts and a collared t shirt with the actual company logo stamped on the front of it. As well as hair that's done nice and neat.

As I said. I don't go to sus out shops and stand around and talk shit. I go in, pull out the equipment, measure up. Note what's needed to remove etc and then report back to dad.

Maybe in a few years I can rock up and actually look like a manager etc and have workers do what we have to do now.

As for the age and experience thing. I cop that alll the time. Get people coming in asking for Mohsen. Then they proceed to go on about how young I look lol

Yeah I'm the youngest bloke at my work - When I have to work in stores (computer upgrades / new store / what ever) just got to walk in LIKE A BOSS! I actually use to wear nice pants and shirt when I started but it makes it a bit hard lifting / screwing around with computer boxes and shit, so these days just been wearing jeans and a t-shirt.. no complaints yet. (I work for the body shop) - I.T though so..

no homo.

I don't know what it is exactly that Mohsen does for work, but sometimes looking too white collar can offer up a negative image for your client. Really depends on what industry you are working in.

Take for example, when I used to do sales repping for my family's oil distribution company. Visiting automotive workshops, I found the owners treated you more like one of their own if I was wearing a logo'd up polo and a pair of steel caps. There's also much more sincerity to your "how's business going lately?" than if you are wearing a shitty tie and target spec shirt, looking like you've never picked up a spanner in your life. I've seen a lot of wanky looking reps in my time...so many of them fail to break the barrier between supplier and client because they can't meet them on the same level. Which is a shame, because it does help with customer loyalty.

Another point is that, if you already have the client on board, they probably won't give a shit what you are wearing from then on out. First impression is the most important one. After that, focus will be on the job being done properly and how you can save them money.

this

such complicated issues tackled in here

reminds me of pillowtalk on the austereo network

or the "net at night"

No idea what any of that is!

Apparently my brother wants to buy my GTR and sell his GTST after going for a spin the other night hah

Now I can get a new Ford GS ? do want :D

By 'proper' pants/shorts I meant hard yakka pants/sorts etc....So you actually look like a tradesman there to do a job, not someone walking in off the street for minimum chips and a chiko roll.

Apparently it's not on and you should wear dress pants and a button up shirt no matter what...

when clients come over (after hours) to see my old man about quotes/plans etc he's in trackies. but when I/he go to see clients at job sites during work hours ofcourse you'd be wearing appropriate clothing although i've met up with clients a few times at sites in trackies but that was after work and being told by my old man to go coz he cant make it. if you're a tradie they don't give a f**k what you're wearing, your company's reputation is what counts.

just coz salesmen sleep in suits dont mean we have to.

Psst...dezzy...Pat said to buy a suit / some $10 slacks from Target (pronounced Tarjay) and Alex basically +1'd his post.

Wasteland detective out.

If that's the case then f**k that, tradie world is completely different. You don't rock up in a suit if you're a tradie, and if you do, you're a fuck head.

    • Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.
    • Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
    • I'm a bit stuck with this one fellas, I recently decided to undertake a turbo conversion on my GTS-4, ended up pulling the motor to replace all the seals and do an mls head gasket and arp head studs while I was at it. Everything has gone according to plan, no oil or coolant leaks, compression checked out, and decided to give it a test before I book it in for a tune As it stands right now, the turbo only has oil lines plumbed so that I don't put boost into my untuned engine, and I'm using the factory GTS-T crossover pipe with a maf and poddy as a temporary intake. The car starts with relative ease and idles amazingly, however as the title suggests it really doesn't want to rev up, runs very smooth but almost feels choked out and unresponsive to the throttle, almost like it's running lean or something? I've triple checked my vacuum lines and timing with a timing light, injectors haven't been touched as of yet to avoid flooding the engine and worked perfectly beforehand, new plugs and coilpacks, I've even unbolted the cat just to see if it spontaneously collapsed, no dice The car currently has a nistune r32 gtst ecu installed so I have no way to check for fault codes. At this point I'm a bit stumped. Is this normal behaviour for a car with a turbo bolted onto the exhaust going nowhere? I'd imagine the turbo wouldn't cause this much restriction in the exhaust without the boost going through the intake. Any ideas? If necessary I can link a video of how it responds to full throttle while in neutral.
