Damn all you pubes although like amaru said it keeps people like me employed :ninja: I have never actually worked for the PS i had the opportunity a couple of times but i seem to always just move to another private company... go figure

lol baconer that is pretty funny more so because of the replies to the movie and how it's racist and then people calling each other crackers etc... crackers funniest word ever.

shuttup cracker!

Have my JOEs day today :ninja:

Anyway im applying for Aircraft Mechanic with my next options being Structural Fitter and Fitter Turner all in the Army

How long ago were you in the army and whats life in the defence force like, have heard different stories from different people about what its like.

Bloody hell this is depressing... Do the aptitude test and tech tests at my JOEs today and do well enough to be told I can apply for any trade of my choice pending results of my med test. So im sitting there for 2 hours waiting and waiting just thinking about which trade would pay the best/ be the most interesting. Walk into the nurses office and she brings out the colour testing. Fail first, fail 2nd, fail 3rd.

"Yea your a CP3, your employment options include; cook, dental assistant, musician etc"

Awesome... Now ive got 2 more days of no work to sit at home and think about this fact.

I discharged in December. Damn man that sucks, my missus just went into the navy as a chopper technician, its probly the hardest course in the forces, so you would have really, really wanted to do it.

In the army, it depends on what you do, but for the first year or 2, expect to be treated like crap, then after that, expect a bit more of it, but if you enjoy the job you sign up for, then it makes it worth while, so choose wisely :P

The Navy an Airforce get treated a lot better, but the jobs arent as hardcore, so it depends on whether you love the whole green hardcore thing, or just want a secure job with a good career option.

I could go on for ages, but the army has got a lot of things over the other 2 aswell. Pm if you wanna know more :D

    • From there it is trickier. Ecutek seems to be one of those closed ecosystems where everyone password protects their tunes which means I either choose a tuner and can't change from them and can't make any changes myself for any reason, or I have to buy the tuning software (about $4k) and then get someone to tune from scratch (which is not simple with all the multi dimensional tables these days). Once you buy about 300 "flash points" per ECU you can get it tuned and add their "RaceROM" function which hacks extra functionality like launch control onto the ECU, and also makes extra data available for logging over CAN Not sure what I'll do there yet; I'm tempted to use one of the overseas shops that does billions of remote tunes of the platform instead of starting from scratch locally, a lot can be done online these days.
    • Can I log IAT eh? Well, can now So next thing was looking at data logging. Not straight forward because none of the motorsport displays have cracked the nissan/inifinti CAN and ECU based displays don't do g logging, lap timing, predictive laps etc.  So, I bought an Ecutek dongle from Tunehouse (Oz distributor). Even without a tune onboard that allows display and logging of about 50 parameters via Android (and presumably iOS) app. Approx 600 for the bluetooth + Usb version That gives me (pretty ugly but) functional dash display on Android And logging of these parameters I'll play around a bit over the break, but at least now I can make sure I have oil pressure when I get to some track testing.  
    • I don't know what globes/headlight connector they run, but I'd be looking for a female adapter to plug into the existing headlight on one side. Something like this https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/256017245989 Then I'd use a pair of single input, double output relays (one for low, one for high), mount them in a spare space in the fuse box if you want to to look more original (and be easier to maintain). Then 2 new power sources from the main stud in the fuse box via a fuse to each relay. Low from the headlight adapter pin triggers low relay and high from the high headlight adapter pin triggers high and low. Earth the relays and new headlight sockets and off you go. Because it triggers off the original headlight all of the dipping/hi on/high flash all still works
