So this is how people in w.a get defected. Taken from Facebook.

Swaybars & radiator are defects. High mount turbo is questionable haha

Roll bar =/= sway bar..

Interesting...I know fk all about tuning so I wonder if I can play with a copy of my tune and produce something that doesn't blow up my engine!

You have PowerFC - you can do it in about 10 seconds by just using a correction factor. It's not an exact science but if all you want is more fuel, easy done, wont destroy a motor or anything. :thumbsup:

At home and with a stone grill, yes. But I've been having medium at restaurants lately. It usually comes out medium to well anyway, cause some don't have a clue about cooking different sizes and cuts or don't bother / have time to check it while cooking.

Plus hardly anyone at a restaurant knows how to cool a proper well done steak without burning it - they invariably whack the heat on high and burn the outside; jerk offs. It's supposed to be no red inside, without the burnt outside. Inb4 Hamish says they do this out of spite or to rush it out; some may do this and others are in fact clueless and glorified water burners.

Maybe you don't know what Medium actually is and just *think* you do? *can of worms opened.

That said, it is quite hard to cook a well-done without char, when on a char grill... Unless you want to wait 45mins+ for the meal, and no-one is happy to wait that long. Hell we have a certain persuasion of person that thinks it should only take 15mins and will ask every time, almost without fail "where is our meal", after 15mins.

because every piece of meat is different and as you cant see the meat in question, you can't ascertain how it needs to be cooked.

also because the chef at Rockpool has cooked probably 20,000+ steaks in his life and knows infinitely more than you about cooking steak.

which all of course means... you will get a better steak

x 11ty. People just don't get meat is a natural product and can vary significantly steak to steak.

how much would rockpool chef get paid? live off tips & compliments?

thats a lot of steak and boring/depressing lifestyle to be a maestro at a top shelf restaurant.

Based on what my guys get over a year? It's north of 65k... how much depends on how much OT you end up doing in a year.
My kitchen and floor staff share tips equally too. AND they only work one double on the busiest 3 days, and get one of those days off (Fri/Sat/Sun)
Good working conditions in my hood - hence I've not lost any of my main guys since we opened. Losing staff costs more than giving decent conditions, sadly most people don't understand this.

because a rare ribeye / scotch fillet for example is pure shit. it has fat that hasn't broken down and tastes like ass

a rare eye fillet is great on the other hand

AMEN!

Too often we get people complaining AFTER they have eaten their scotch that it was "tasteless with a bit chunks of fat (the kernel)"... Yet our staff tell people 'we recommend the scotch to be cooked roughly medium so the fat breaks down to increase the taste'... But NOOO... Customer is always right, then complain afterwards even though we told them that is how they will get maximum enjoyment out of it

le-sigh... everyone is masterchef these days.

Is that a unfranked or franked dividend?

I LOL'd

From what I hear ash you give your cooks an awesome deal. Fkn good on you for actually paying people properly and not letting your ego dictate wages! :)

Gotta be a fair slog for the business though!

10 years in fine dining and I had to run kitchens and work 80 hours/week to earn $65k+

Yeah they have a great deal, none leave and they are always happy. I think the most hours they will work in a fortnight is 80-85hrs and it's their choice, not forced and get paid for EVERY hour! Wanna come work for me? lol.

The stories some of my guys have, I just utterly do not comprehend... 2 kitchen staff for a 250 seat bistro at a local hotel... No wonder the food is ALWAYS shithouse, they just don't have time to ensure it's top quality...

It's a fair slog wages wise to the business. I don't agree for a second with the restaurant award in terms of floor staff wages for pub holidays etc... I mean it's ~$53/hr on a Pub Holiday so we just close as we actually lose money, can't even break even with 7 floor staff on. The end result is less hours and money for people but somehow the Gov't that made it 2 years ago thinks it's legitimate. See if it was $35/hr, which is acceptable - we would open and people earn more etc.

For the kitchen guys though, they work hard so no issue paying them insane pub holiday rates if we did open - it's would be a nice sweetener for them

meh I'd just offer Tony a third of what that one is asking. don't need no photoshop to make it look good, is faster, and won't spin a bearing just after you've transferred rego and vicroads.

    • I don't think there's any way someone is push starting this car.. I honestly can barely move it, and moving it and steering it is just flat out not possible. I'm sure it is, but needs a bigger man than me. I have a refurbished starter now. The starter man was quite clear and consise showing me how nothing inside a starter really should contribute to slow cranking, and turned out that for the most part... my starter was entirely fine. Still, some of the wear items were replaced and luckily it didn't show any signs of getting too hot, being unfit for use, etc. Which is 'good'. I also noticed the starter definitely sounded different, which is a bit odd considering nothing should have really changed there.... Removed and refit, and we'll pretend one of the manifold bolts didn't fully tighten up and is only "pretty" tight. GM only wants 18ft/lb anyway. I also found a way to properly get my analog wideband reading very slightly leaner than the serial wideband. There's Greg related reasons for this. The serial output is the absolute source of truth, but it is a total asshole to actually stay connected and needs a laptop. The analog input does not, and works with standalone datalogging. Previously the analog input read slightly richer, but if I am aiming at 12.7 I do not want one of the widebands to be saying 12.7 when the source of truth is 13.0. Now the source of truth will be 12.65 and the Analog Wideband will read 12.7. So when I tune to 12.7 it'll be ever so slightly safer. While messing with all of this and idling extensively I can confirm my car seems to restart better while hot now. I did add an old Skyline battery cable between the head and the body though, though now I really realise I should have chosen the frame. Maybe that's a future job. The internet would have you believe that this is caused by bad grounds. In finding out where my grounds actually were I found out the engine bay battery post actually goes to the engine, as well as a seperate one (from the post) to the body of the car. So now there's a third one making the Grounding Triangle which is now a thing. I also from extensive idling have this graph. Temperature (°C) Voltage (V) 85 1.59 80 1.74 75 1.94 70 2.1 65 2.33 60 2.56 55 2.78 50 2.98 45 3.23 40 3.51 35 3.75 30 4.00   Plotted it looks like this. Which is actually... pretty linear? I have not actually put the formula into HPTuners. I will have to re-engage brain and/or re-engage the people who wanted more data to magically do it for me. Tune should be good for the 30th!
