Hey Dezz, come work in the mines. Big money if you don't have family in mind.

Nah not for me. Sure you can make some cash but f**k that working 2/3/4 weeks straight shit 12 hour days etc...If I worked those hours here I'd make the same amount of cash...

I can make enough here to keep me happy without having to move to the desert and have no life..

the spray gun and liquid wrap arrived today. looks the goods! I'm pretty excited.

went to autobarn and grabbed some plasti dip glossifier. all plasti dip stock is $30, was pleasantly surprised. however they wanted $240 for 3.4L of the non aerosol paint :/

Anyone know a good machinist/turner that can cut some new circlip rings in my Bilsteins? I'd go to Quadrant but they want $35 a cut and are out in Berwick which is a trek for me.... Closer to inner suburbs would be bettahhh..

true that, you would have to work 2 weeks on (1wk Day & 1wk Night) & 1 week off.

However if you do the maths... 2weeks * 12hrs = 168hrs worked over 3 weeks (2 weeks on + 1 week off) = 168hrs / 3weeks = 8hrs/day (incl weekends)

So it works out to be 8hrs/day on average (over the year) but you end up on a salary around the $100,000 - $200,000 mark - http://iminco.net/mining-job-salaries-how-much-can-you-earn-mining-careers/

but you're only home every 3rd weekend if you look at it from the other side haha

...and you have to move to Perth, who would do that :P

Spieth Engineering in Baywaster has cut circlip rings for Bilsteins before.

So thread has been inactive for two hours.

I'm watching a doco about the Fairlady Z on youtube. Just mentioned the fact that the Korean War was basically what kept the Japanese car industry and Nissan in business. So without the Americans, we wouldn't have Skylines.

    • Oh wow, it's easy to forget how cheap these can be. Probably the cheapest way to travel. Though people in cars here tend to be morons and I would not feel very safe. Were scooters ever big in Australia? It used to be the thing growing up in Europe ~20 years ago. 50/70/125ccm Peugeot or Yamaha and some others. Utterly obnoxious Polini race exhausts. Kick stands that slant as much as possible. So loud. So much noise for really not moving very fast at all. But it felt cool at the time. Not sure where I'm going with this, but there is an aftermarket for mopeds! Though I'd have pictured you more for a Goldwing kind of guy after growing out of the Harley.
    • You need to know I am sorry for this.  
    • As the MX5 isn't apparently "manly" enough, and I need something for runs to the local shops, and also take to my part time job at the salon, basically I can keep the MX5 away from car parks and stuff......like "flying lockers", I was wondering what I could buy to fix this issue LOL, I pick up a new Yamaha 125 Delight this arvo from Trooper Lu, basically a R1 that you can fit a slab of beer on between your feet, also, it was $29400 cheaper than a R1, so actually it's 2 x better than a R1    
    • Nah. H2S. H2S is "rotten egg gas", which is what is associated with no cat. SO2 is equally nasty, and if you've ever smelt it you'll know all about it. More of a choking, acid in the back of the throat sort of thing. But you can only smell it in a narrow range up to about 1ppm. Above that, it irritates your mucous membranes, but you don't smell it.
    • Kicked the 34 in the guts, she won’t be seeing the road till I get the 31 mobile again.  wont be long and she’s a bit of a garage princess anyway haha
