There are way to many people in IT and alot of em dont know shit either!

Going for the big bux job hey?

Amen to that, I work in IT for a hardwaresoftware sales and support company and I tell you what I could have half of the jobs of our clients in-house IT co-ordinators, they are dumb as dog sh*t. It is far to crowded now.

Thats because of those computer power training courses that tries to teach people who have never seen a computer before to be tech's in a few months and them get them a job when they really dont know what they are doing.

And then on the other hand you get the computer geeks that do a 2 year tafe course with a fancy name which teaches you basic stuff and then they get jobs trying to sort out problems they wouldnt have a clue about.

lol funny thing is, most techies in india are attending or have attended MIT, which amongst other things is ranked number 2 in the world for IT degrees, and number 1 outside the US. If any of them were to come over here to work, they would not only know more than us, they'd also be much more highly qualified than most of the managers running around in the IT industry.

But, by the same token due to oversaturation, there is no room for them to come over here, and thus they work in india in callcenters...

Theres are about 5 Indian PLC programmers working at the building joining ours on the new PLC Holden Engine plant in Adelaide. Its a sub division of my company.

I was getting a coffee in the lunch room and started talking to one of the guys and he asked me how long i have been in aus, i said 20 years. So i asked him the same question and he said 1.5 weeks, of which 1 week he was working!!

They may know their IT stuff but know farkall about geography of australia :P

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.

      Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.

      Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
