Very tempting. Love working on cars but I'm guessing the only downside would be the sallary :happy:

haha ye would be a great chance for someone starting out/living @ home etc.

I doubt apprentice wages would even cover my rent a month lol

i can tell you that a 1st year chef apprenticeship would definately not pay the rent on your place

not a motor mechanics appreticeship wage anyways.... other trades like electrical and plumbing are another story :P

well sparkies don't get any more than most trades as apprentices, well at least here they don't, nor do they have a higher rate of pay for adult apprentices unlike nearly every other trade.

I'm surprised that a shop like Sabbadin would even have to advertise on a forum, would have thought they would get dozens of people dropping off resumes etc.

Pretty much your entire first sentence is incorrect :D

well, if you were looking for an apprentice for a speciality workshop (like Sabbadin is), why not try and pick-up one that already knows their way around the majority of cars that are worked on? All credit to them as well for coming on here to let people know, i'm sure the spot will be filled easily but if it can get to an import enthusiast who's already familiar with the cars, it's a win win really.

dezz: got a mate who's a sparky apprentice at 24, and he gets paid junior wages. Could be wrong, but that's up to him to chase up if it is! pretty damn lucrative as a tradesman though!

true that SS8_Gohan, hope one of our fellow forumers gets the job :cool:

Mature age is 25 now...Used to be 21 but they changed it as it was hurting some peoples chances of being hired apparently

haha man.. i don't know of a single apprentice or trainee around here who gets paid above award rates apart from when my mate was doing his traineeship directly through Cummins. Purely because there are 50+ applicants for every one of these jobs

EBA rates are the only payment method I'd chose as an electrician. My last two jobs I was getting payed above award (which still wasn't a good pay mind you), however ever since moving to my current company, I'm raking in the dollars. Plus you get perks such as a 36 hour week :)

    • And yet....OEMs put both guages and lights into cars, fed by separate primary elements, for a reason. Oil pressure sensors fail at a significantly higher rate than oil pressure switches. When the HMI has 2 outputs, each with its own separate input, the redundancy makes it far more likely that the operator will notice a problem - particularly if one of those systems has a fault. I'll keep my oil pressure switch feeding the dash light, thanks.
    • So after like 4 hours yesterday and quite a bit of troubleshooting. Come to find out there is a screw on the back of the serial 9 shifter that was screwed in too far from the factory and the manufacturer doesn’t say anything about it but it was stopping all the back gears because it was hitting that. I pulled the shifter out and went through the gears by hand and a vise grip (dont judge me, it was on a lift) and figured out that it wasn’t the trans. So we narrowed it down to the shifter
    • Goon of fortune....go on.....spin to win
    • Oh you'll be surprised how much the motor breathes when it sees nearly 2 bar of boost. That will definitely pop, but for now, more than happy with 99.99% of the crank case fumes and engine shit going back into the intake.
    • You'll likely find, you never really get pressure to pop that valve.  If you are getting "pressure" it's going out the unrestricted hole before it hangs around to build up and pop the rubber flap. IE, it's headed for the intake pipe. In reality, if we did it right, your "vent" would actually go to a PCB valve at the inlet, and you'd still have the two the intake pipe too. When in vacuum, motor sucks it in, when on boost, PCB shut, and you will be getting enough air flow past (if they've put the catchcan pipe on the inlet in a good spot, at the right angle) which will create suction. Current setup in reality, you're just forcing it to the intake pipe.
