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.

    • Behrman is great quality stuff. My 34 has some serious clouding as well but I’m too nervous to try and replace the glass myself so I haven’t bought them yet. 
    • This might be true if you live in NZ but I can't see how this could be true for us locals here.  I've found the customer support for Haltech to be absolutely amazing. I've turned up to Haltech and spent entire days with their tech support guys, they've even helped me with wiring dramas that had nothing to do with their products.  They have the best customer support of any company I've dealt with, I can't imagine how my experiences with them could possibly be any better.
    • If you want to do a single throttle body conversion easily, you won't need to pull anything apart. Take the linkage from your throttle off the linkage controlling the ITBs. Now open the ITBs wide open, and lock the linkages in said position. Now add a single throttle body onto the front of your inlet plenum. No it's not ideal for the last nth of a kw, but it'll be a lot better than what you're already trying to do...   PS, ITBs can be so damn hard to tune from, because roughly 20% movement in a throttle body equates to a change in roughly 80% of its flow (Hence power). When you add up the flow limitations of those small throttle bodys, it is a LOT higher than that of a single large throttle. Hence, TPS is very very sensitive with them, and you do a LOT of work with sensor fusion, and some Maths behind the scenes to make those blends nice, and be smooth.
    • Yep, when Haltech purchased Adaptronic, and all of the Adaptronic staff, including Andy went with it, it took Haltech to the next level. Haltech wanted Adaptronic as they wanted things like Andy's fuel models, and some other IP, AND they wanted Andy too as he is brilliant! Andy has spoken about the incompatibilities between the old 1500 stuff vs Nexxus, and it totally makes sense. It's not JUST software that is different, there is huge changes in the underlying hardware too. It's why Haltech has had soooo many changes in the last couple of years, in terms of Hardware, and Software, and why it has become so damn Amazing. Why do you think guys like Rob Dahm with his quad rotor, went from running Adaptronic's to running Haltechs? Andy. Pretty much, Haltech these days, is Adaptronic, but with more funds behind it, and more staff, and hence Andy's visions, and visions of other people that he helps shape their great visions, into amazing new products. All the new Nexxus gear, whole new software for it, new and better dashboards, the apps that will run on headunits and NOT be slow to respond! I understand people being burnt in the past, but if you're ragging on a company, about products and issues from many years ago, it's more a reflection on yourself, not looking or keeping up with new stuff. In which case, those people should be going back to PowerFC and Nistunes as the ECU's to rave on about...
