sounds good, the computer systems engineering part not the 6 am part.  Mind you i will be doing the same when i get back to work.  Also a trade worker at the moment.  wouldnt mind being a mechanic though when we move home.  do know anyone who wants an apprentice by any chance?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Cheers ...(for the congrats) ..will be good when ya done, alot lighter on the shoulders i will say Yeh, i was the same, wanted to be a mechanic or should have done mechanical engineering. Well...i can't guarantee an apprenticeship...but wat do you want to do for the apprenticeship? (mechanic?)...

THanks again. And fellas, take it easy, everyone has their own opinion

Work in the morning at 6am (tradework) which i do during me breaks from uni.  ive actually just graduating this year (completed last) in computer systems engineering.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

this was a tafe course was it :?? im interested in going into that field but have juist been canvasing places where i might ba able to build computers

[AZZA]

yea i would like to be a mechanic so that when im qualified i can do all of the work on my GTR myself. Save a shit load of labour costs. (just for knowledge, i dont have a GTR yet but im getting one when i move south, a 33GTR V Spec is the make of chice). Plus would also like to start up a buisness down south modifying imports. Will have to see what happens though, expensive to get into.

[Nozila]

im not a qualified mechanic yet all the work on my car is done myself. gtr or not.

[AZZA]

I dont want to be a mechanic just to be able to work on my car alone. Its just where my interest lie, id like to be able to build and modify cars for a living.

[Madaz]

^^ u know the rule of thumb 99% of mechincs cars are rubbish the other 1% pay a mechanic to keep his car nice

[AZZA]

well i plan to make up my own percentage, cos i guarantee that my car wont be rubish.

Unfortunately this was a uni course over 4 years, however there are some related engineering courses in Tafe. When i was younger i had the same ambition to be a mechanic, loved the ideas of playing with cars as i was brought up around cars....

IN terms of the whole mechanic and their cars...i agree..know a few and they have interesting cars to say the least, but in some cases one or two own some nice cars, usually V8's or porsches. But as long as you do what you love you can't really go wrong

Spotted one silver looking R33 GTR (or the kit was GTR = no badge ), a while R33 heading to the bay at about 7pm, and two black R33's on West Terrace last night putside the pizza house. one with some nice gold rims

ive seen that same 34 with the green p plates down rundle the last two weekends, ironically when i bought my car in syd in november it was for sale and i had a look at it, it still has nsw plates so im guessing either the owner didnt end up selling it and drove it over here or someone from adelaide has bought it but not changed it over to sa rego yet

I live just past stirling so i bailed it when we went through there. Glad you enjoyed the Eagles Run

[Madaz]

[Nightcrawler]

yeah that's Shanna's old car - love the Nismo front bar and lip combo.

I was hoping to get the R34 plates off her, but she let them go with the car

[mxtcy]

Sure is Andrew.... oops.. i mean Ken's old car. Seen a few sets of hands and bascially still the same as when Ken had it. Ken sure did do a good job on it. New owner really will have to do something special to it to make it "His" car.
