At the end of the day public and private school teachers are both educated the same, yet they don't teach the same. An ineffective teacher working in a high socio economic area is just as detrimental to a child's education... I'd much prefer my child to be taught by the excellent teacher in a lower socio economic area

Yes but in my limited experience private & catholic teachers are better remunerated ?

Agree however a public school in toorak would no doubt offer equal/greater circle of influence however you would need to own a house in the zone.

Easier to pay the private school fees than a house in toorak etc

spot on

That's one of the reasons why the Glen Waverley house price is ridiculous. One of the better public schools which sort of restricts intake to only Glen Waverley resident intakes

20-30kms from the city and house prices probably average well over $1M

If I ever need to choose a school for a child I'll be weighing my decision heavily on most likely circle of influence my experience was public school had a lot of plebs.. Catholic school more ambitious and successful comparing 10 years later.

People won't agree but I want my kid hanging around kids with ambition desire to succeed from solid backgrounds etc

Before anyone starts im aware that there is no guarantee but you can increase the probability

My logic says hard working parents with successful businesses, but higher probability of spoiled kids who've been handed life on a silver platter = little ambition to succeed.

I went to a private school that was about 12k a year by the end of it. There was the same mix you could find at any school, we had hard workers, geeks, jockish people, lazy people, wealthy families with spoilt kids who never had to pay for anything themselves; comparatively poor people whose parents wanted a chance at a better education for them. I reckon you could find all that anywhere, but obviously a fair few more of the rich families. We had fk all hot girls, which sucked. We were really starved for decent looking girls or even girls with persobality, and the one or two that we had were into dating 25 year olds with cars. Speaking of, mate got a brand new 318i as a year 12 graduation present.

I don't think public schools are what they were decades ago and neither are private schools. The gap is much narrower with access to technologies and resources, and unless you're sending them to a private school with a student culture that thrives on achieving high results, neither type of school will guarantee a better future for your kid. Plenty fell into the bad crowd at my school and there are plenty of bad crowds at public too.

I'll be sending my kids to public, and using the money I save to pay them to do chores before they can legally work...give them that sense of earning and success from hard work that seems to be missing a lot these days. I'll also be making sure they study hard because I believe the parenting is more important than the school they go to.

Our kids will be going to whichever school I'm working at.

Don't do that, kids of teachers at the school get left out; don't you remember the playground code

no they don;t...

they get away with just about anything including sneaking into the year 12 coordinators back yard to drink his home brew at lunch time..

it's just when you cross "that" line and get caught it follows you home, so you get smart about things.

Where'd coilovers come from Migule?

Most guys I know from school were basically only baptised to get into Catholic schools. Which is pretty sad when you think about it. It's not that I don't like public schools.... Just certain public schools in my area had a more notable amount of drop kicks and nutcases. Their numbers dropped significantly by yr11.

I would prefer my kids to go to a co-ed school. Sausage fest was just annoying. My life has had too many dudes in it. And I'm not even FIFO much.

Will worry about it when the time comes. But if little Jimmy was in the way of me getting a new boat, he better work on dem scholarships

Yeah don't disagree entirely birds and its a personal choice my personal experience is what will lead me toward catholic / private education I do think the good public schools which are limited are being confused with all public schools

Heck two public schools here have a no homework policy wtf is that!?

    • Bit of an update to this one. Having some issues on the dyno that held us back (boost spiking) and I want to pass some info over you guys and see what you think is wrong with my setup. The current readout on this dyno is 462rwkw on a low reading dyno so keep in mind it is a real world 500rwkw setup on a hub dyno. Don't read into the power figure too much as a sign of the issue. The short and curly of it is: 2.8 Litre Racepace build RB25 NEO N/A Head with VCT (internally standard however ) Borgwarner EFR 8474  Turbosmart 50mm Straight Gate + Mac valve 6Boost Manifold 4" dump to full 4" exhaust (nil restrictions) Wastegate plumbed back in and all angles in the exhaust system are acceptable and not too sharp. GFB SV52 BOV in cooler piping  Turbosmart BOV in EFR Housing   The issue we are having is it comes onto full boost for example at 4000rpm and spikes to 24/25psi, before dropping down to 17psi before slowly rising back up to the target boost of 23psi. It was extremely uncontrollable and the tuner actually had to ramp in boost progrssively with each 1000rpm on each boost setting we selected to try and reduce the amount of spiking. Sometimes we would see a drop of 10psi from the peak at the beginning of the run, to the low, until it took the next 500-1000rpm to stabilise back up to the target boost. The tuner is pretty confident that the straight gate is just a poorly designed product and leaks too much boost upon cracking the gate open and theres no way to fix it other than going to a poppet valve. He's also confient theres no ignition breakdown or floating valves. The fueling is extremely stable as well. Turbo speed is somewhere around the 109,000rpm area. The spanner in the works for me is that prior to this Borgwarner and StraightGate, the car was tuned on -5 twins at a diferent tuner, and he also had issues controlling the boost with it spiking around the same rpm range, so to me this sounds like the same issue and it can't be anything on the turbo side as this was all changed and I think the behaviour is extremely similar, if not the same. We also removed the mac valve and did a run on wastegate pressure and it still spiked and had the same behaviour. My thoughts on possibilities are: Boost Leak VCT Cam Gear isn't reliably activating consistently - (On this however, we did a run with the VCT disabled and the boost still spiked) Turbosmart BOV is not handling the boost? However this seems unlikely to not be able to handle 20psi. I have a couple of logs that I can't make sense of if anybody knows how to read them and can obtain further logs of other parameters if they are not enough, happy to pay for anyones time. The dyno readout with the power figure is the most recent last week. The other picture is from two weeks prior to that where we couldn't break 400kw (we removed the cat), however the issue of the boost control persisted. @Lithium @Piggaz @burn4005 @GTSBoy @discopotato03 I've tagged those that were quite active in recent pages here, no disrespect to those that know turbos well but I missed tagging.

    • I recently purchased a 2018 Infiniti Q60, which has an SD card navigation map. I can see my system has options for real time traffic updates etc, and am wondering if there is something I can purchase to get this working? I can see there are at least updated maps for USA and Canada, but nothing for Australia. Surely Infiniti took changing road systems and city expansions into account when they decided to use an inbuilt navigation over Android Auto/Apple Car Play, or are we doomed to drive on streets that don't exist in the navigation system if you drive to a new area?
    • Luckily I didn't put in etch primer as I just found out it's not compatible with my body filler lol. Also just need to sand the panel anywhere between 150-400 grit so I'm in the clear there. It does say to not apply to soft old paint, I assume that means paint that is flaking, peeling,etc
    • @dbm7 and @GTSBoy thank you both very much! will give that a shot!
