Thanks, shall PM you later when I've got access to computer.

Not easy getting job for major construction companies?

Also do you have to be member for union?

They tend to be more picky....The company I just landed a job with started with 100 applicants, probably narrowed down from more than that...Cut that 100 to 30 for interviews, then 8 out of those 30 got jobs. Considering I'm an adult apprentice (over 25) it was even harder for me given that out of the 8 being hired, only 1 would be an adult apprentice..

Don't HAVE to be a member of the union...I'll be signing up though. Wasn't a member at my previous job because they were a bunch of cocksuckers that did nothing, but the ETU is a decent union (according to all of my sparky mates) so I'm happy to join.

You'll probably be pressured to join, but at the end of the day it's up to you. They might treat you differently if you refuse to sign up as well...but would depend on the job/people you're working with obviously

Dezz, yeah being adult apprentice is tough (am nearly 25 myself), it comes all down to selling myself and talking them to pick me over pimply faced young lads.

About the unions... I'll worry about it later, gotta find out more. I've also been told building/construction type unions are way better than other type of union.

Thanks again.

Sort of the same. Depends on where you work. But CA is alot harder than CPA.

Had alot of people at our firm come from CPA backgrounds, try the CA and then fail hard. Failure rate in CA is pretty high. And when someone fails at work they usually cry, because you've just wasted money and 1/2 a year studying your arse off outside a full time job for nothing...

ah fair go. Grats on the credz. Always hard to do more studies after uni :thumbsup:

My uni course cost me 40k lol

+1 Engineering aint cheap :(

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
