Those ladyboys tickles your fancy Nick?

lol, avoiding Phuket as much as I can, wil be just the direct flight to there. Then moving around within the country

Will be heading the the more relaxing places like koh samui

It's ok I don't get "paid" no safety net ere no union set exorbitant rates only what customer is happy to pay ;)

Your move.

Your customers set your rate do they?

The builders pay our rate, so using your logic, they must be happy to do so.

Everyone always wants to pay less for the same thing, don't let yourself believe otherwise.

nope builders don't set your rate and you know it they don't get a choice, just like McDonald's has to pay according to award.

Of course everyone wants to pay less. Pretty sure seen numerous instances of unions crying over cheaper labor being brought in so they strike and abuse non union members.

Our company actually get paid more as people can see the benefit of using us

don't worry brah just stirring ya

So you're for bringing in overseas, under qualified and unlicensed workers? So you'd be happy for your company to fly in some Indians who will do your job for minimum wage, no commission, which they'll do without any argument because it's far better than what they're getting back home.

That's exactly what they try to do in our industry, the only difference being that in our industry, under qualified and unlicensed workers don't know what they're doing, but who cares about peoples lives when there's money to be saved.

Proud to be union

Nah but f**k useless overseas workers who don't know what they're doing. More dezzman is what we need

Under qualified would be debatable I mean really certain aspects are universal. I got no issues on unions protecting safety of workers. It's the rest of the bs that goes with it that is a bit rich since 95% of workers don't get anywhere near the protection or benefits that unions inflict and if they don't get their way they strike and hold companies, governments and the public as a hole to ransom.

Plenty of Indians(and other nationalities) do my job and charge Fark all but none of them are major players in the market as clients can see a clear difference and benefit.

Moh - your talking domestic it's completely different and they don't get paid that well

I can guarantee you the 'sparkies' they want to bring in to do our job for chicken feed are not nearly up to the standard that's required to get your A grade license here. Nor do they hold the necessary license, instead they're given one because it suits the powers that brought them here.

As for implying that its all cushy in the construction industry, you really don't know anything. Sure we don't usually have to climb in roof spaces but there are things we do on a daily basis where safety is put aside as its not practical to do 'safely'.

The union mentality that you describe barely exists these days. Getting rained off is a rarity as sites are designed so that it doesn't happen. Being heated off is a rarity as it is usually hottest after 4pm, and that clause is pretty much in there because we're forced to work in long sleeves pants gloves glasses and helmets. So when it sits at 34.9 all day, stiff shit, we work in it. Domestic don't get heated off but they do wear whatever they want, shorts singlets no top etc.

And just like the Indians in your industry that you mentioned, the smaller or domestic companies simply CANNOT deliver the projects our companies can, so I'm not sure how us being paid more is any different to you being paid more than inferior companies.

I'm not referring solely to electricians which is probably the most highly skilled of all the trades - but as a whole labourers, concreters,painters, plasterers and so forth. Even wharf / factory workers these types of roles could be done with cheaper labour with probably little difference to the overall completion of the job.

You would know yourself the difference between domestic and commercial are vast. That was my point to Moh which he will correct me if I'm wrong but his friend sounds like a domestic electrician.

The difference in pay again is yours is regulated,

So to claim we are paid to much is inaccurate as we could work for 3 months and get paid nothing, yes thats the risk we take. Ultimately your company pays X amount regardless of what happens.

You don't perform, you don't get paid... we don't perform we get let go.

I don't know if you think the union won't allow that, but its no difference to any other job, if you're no good they don't keep you plain and simple

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
