Daily commute in skyline: for those 90mins or less... I'm free.

[Leroy Peterson]

exactly, should be volatile as Fk this week as ppl decide what to do, esp Friday

Not expecting too much action. Might be a few days or weeks before they share some results.

[UNR33L]

I didn't like the commute that much in my old GTR, too bumpy & loud. 

And a joke of cup holders.

Didn't you buy a built bottom end that he just needed to assemble and tune??

how many years is this build at now?

 

Second hand surprises...pulled it apart to check tolerances and such, found some poor machining he wanted to tidy up so we pulled it down and started from scratch re-using most of the components. Head was also shaved too much so replaced that re-using the same valvetrain. Block and head now assembled with cams, currently getting sump welded to suit gearbox. Once that's done it goes in the car and then the plumbing fun begins.

I delivered car to workshop at start of last year from memory.

This shut in pressure test is gonna be another make or break opportunity

We will fall or gain at least a cent either way

So I could be screwed? work for an IT company that specialises in a certain profession with numerous clients, saw on seek a 'dream job' kinda thing, basically the kind of firms we look after, but being their sole IT manager internally, the next step I want to do in my career. I applied, fast forward 2 weeks my boss is meeting with the firm as a potential new client, gee I wonder how they got the idea that we existed..

So do I A: have an honest convo with my boss before they meet B: not say anything and hope it doesn't come up, (that they only found out about us because of me applying for a role?) 

inb4 do a simon and send out all staff email

Honest talk is the route I'd go for.

Ethanol does smell nice when you're gunning it.

Just sayin.

Time for cheap daily?

I'm all seriousness - stay vague and exchange passive aggressive emails

IT seems to be the most volatile industry for staff turnover

Great, thieves tried to steal Soarer today. At this stage if you own an import and don't have insurance you're an idiot.

Starting to appreciate the middle eastern punishment for theft.

LOL. Nah she'll be right I'm sure it'll all work out in the end, after all if they sign with us he should be thanking me - bonus?

It's pretty savage, from my experience some property developers are the same

Famous insurance wouldn't insure my car any more than $15k. Considering it has a rebuilt forged Neo, rebuilt gearbox & a $3k new turbo.

Happy to pay more premium but not even an option

Rusted r32 gtr's are worth 4x more

Might have to try shannons or NRMA vintage/classic insurance

Mod life, man. Photos and mod list can only bump up the market price so much.

I wouldn't mention it at all. It's nobody else's concern if you apply for jobs, it only becomes their concern if you accept one.
