oh but they "need" an 18% payrise

Good thing I have the pre-requisites to become one (year 10) according to metro site

Seriously though at what point do you just take up a boring as batshit job purely on the basis of being hugely overpaid? lol

theres plenty of those people going around. and theyre usually dumb as dog shit and dont get any further in a career. what would your train driving ambitions be? pilot the Ghan? do the Geelong goods train run? save up all your pennys and make a model train set? walk around the streets in your old age pestering people about your years as a train driver? subscribe to those awful train magazines as well.

even if you made it to FIFO status, you spend heaps of time away from home. getting by ordering crap online to make you happy when you are at home. your missurs will want an endless stream of pets to provide affection for when you are gone.

I thought about it when I was a chef.... it was literally the most opposite job I could think of.

The test is just ridiculous... waaaaaaay above and beyond what is required of a train driver

Sure is, have had friends apply. It's BS for what they end up doing. Not like it's rocket science but the way they test... Wtf?!

Haha that's it, I'd still rather work my way up and beyond in an industry I actually have an interest in.

FIFO I get, that's a big sacrifice and compensated by big money. Train drivers are deffs overpaid.

This is so nihilistic and edgy

I'll miss you Leroy, but I just can't share your bleak world view

    • KYBs are typically twin tube, putting them in the lower tier of desireability. Do you just want to replace worn out ones for the lowest cost? I mean, you wouldn't just replace one end of a car, if the rears are a similar age to the fronts, then they are probably nowhere near what they should be, and likely won't be great against brand new fronts. So, to spend ~$800 on 2nd tier dampers, when you could get a decent set of MCA coilovers for <$4k.....? As to the strut tops. 1st up, the Sparesbox site specifically tells you that they are not correct for an R33. Beyond that, why do you think you need them?
    • That's not very Toyota of the Toyota!
    • Bringing an old thread back to life Looking to put some new front shocks in the r33Gtst and the KYB still look ok for a road car. Unless there are any other options aroind that price $200 a shock?  I’d like to replace the strut tops also, is this the correct KYB no. For the strut top, KSM7124?  https://www.sparesbox.com.au/products/kyb-strut-top-mount-ksm7124?srsltid=AfmBOoq-HDru8wSlLnQrhU9gCw_uYdKg8gUQzONY-EQOdnI5iXOWEUjY 341287 appears to be the front KYB shocks part no.  thanks all   
    • LandCruiser used to get a fluid flush every 12 to 18 months.   Only because it was about that often the electric motor on the master for brake assist kept dieing and needing to come off.
