which airline?

Virgin

I rate over Qantas, especially the entertainment system...though Qantas had scrambled eggs and hash browns for breakfast on one flight, and that's a win.

Unrelated, boss's sister is a flight attendant with Qantas and apparently airline staff hate FIFOs #@Rekin cause they just keep asking for more beer and treating them like shit...

yeah each airline has pros and cons.

I used to fly virgin, but were never on time, 2 years straight of flyign every 2 weeks to syd and never arrive on time.

when I changed roles to a customer facing one and had to be on time moved to qantas they more keen to put the pedal down if running late.

most of my friends who are serious flyers paying for it themselves are on virgin however, (easier to get status if nothing else)

but if you flying Intl often,and can get status..qantas is def your friend.

Can be better than business class stuck in their individual seats :)

Though you would have needed some leg fold surely

Captain just said 40 on this A330 including business class bahahah

Only someone who hasn't been in business class would say that.

So employee is annoyed because they have to do their job and not talk shit with their mates? Not like the beer comes from their pocket.

Difference with frequent flyers is that there is no longer a guilt asking for something when in actual fact it's their job to serve.

Usually happens due to running lean at idle as I found out last night, then again today with Greg's car. ;)Cams would make it much more pronounced.

You got widebands fitted guys? Why the hell not?

Interesting.

That's actually the last piece of the puzzle I need to obtain before I put all my mods in.

If anything I'm probably a bit rich atm... flames pls.

matter of interest what the difference between say me and the stereotype FIFO?

You don't seem like a bogan Neanderthal so could be that

Obviously not allll FIFO are bad but it's likely an 80/20 scenario

Just cos it's someone's job to 'serve' does not make them a slave and common courtesy should always apply

Employee annoyed cos FIFO bogans hitting on attendants, talking rudely to em and treating them like slaves. There to serve, but a bit of manners goes a long way.

As Al said, not all FIFO gonna do it, but you can imagine some of the guys on flights and in business class or the lounges compared to the other clientele who frequent these spots.,,

Just bought a Wii U.

What is exams? What is money?

More like what is nintendo doing?

Dont mean to hate but the concept of that console is just so bizarre and makes no sense. You could throw all the IPs in the world at it and every game would feel like some iOS spin-off of the actual game. How you finding the tablet?

Nintendo survived as they are virtually unchallenged in their target market.

When sony and microsoft entered the gaming world, rather than try to be the 3rd option, Nintendo re-doubled their efforts with kids games and came up trumps.

No he didn't, you just got butthurt cos he was talkin smack about your scumbag bogan tradie brothers

lol @ your cheap shot, i'll bite anyways.

two points were made by Birds in his original response;

1. Serving a lot of beer - Its not coming out of their pockets & its part of their job requirement to serve, so how is that an issue? (Unless all they want to do is have an easy ride/shift)

2. Treating them rude - no disagrement here, not acceptable at any time.

    • It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...
    • Connect all the plumbing up properly. The actual worst part about having the turbo unable to actually build boost, is you can and likely would over soon the turbo if you drove the car (free rev while stationary isnt likely to manage it).   If you do have an air leak as Duncan suggested, you'll have a bad time as the AFM will be saying different to reality.   As you have had the engine out, I'd go over all electrical connections again. If you have a consult cable, plug it in, and see what the ECU thinks is going on. Did you touch the timing belt? If so, double check your timing on the gears is correct AND put a timing light on it while it's idling and see what ignition setting you have. Is the AFM you've installed the one that was in the car previously? You said you replaced seals, what seals exactly? What have you had apart?   From memory when I had my RB25DET with factory throttle, there was two plugs the TPS plug on the loom could go to. One would leave the car running like shit, the other made it work, I think one plug on the TPS area was for something else (an option). It's too many years since I saw that part of the loom to remember properly though.   Is the car idling smooth (as smooth as an RB can)? Does it smell fuelled up?   I have a feeling either timing in timing belt is off, or a sensor isn't right.
    • Theres still skid pan and motokhana days up in QLD at least that are $100 or less. The ones that are ran as "driver training" less so, they're expensive, but just normal skid pan days like SAU ran are still low cost. And thats one of the places I learned to be a lariken, purely by asking for passenger rides, and how people were doing crazy things. Reese gave me plenty of pointers back in the day for skid pan! And yes Duncan, I will never forget your pointers for track work. Especially after Neil got out saying "I am NEVER getting in the car with him again!" 😛
    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
