Yep Aircraft(Chopper) Tech in army was what i was going for, talked to a guy in the Woden recruiting office about it and he said it was the most challenging and the certificates at the end were the most rewarding. They are even fast tracking people applying for this job because its in such high demand...

Slept so bad last night, couldnt stop thinking about it. If it was something I could work on and fix id be fine with it but like leigh said, cant do anything about it which just makes it harder.

I'm still going to go for the defence force though, the navy recruiter I had my interview with went through the exact same thing as me (he's red/green colour blind aswell) so he gave me his number (*sings* "in the navy") and said he'd help me out with what options were available and which ones would interest me the most out of those. Pretty much my only option if i really want a decent job in the Defence Force is if i go for officer but most of those are just desk jobs which goes against the whole reason i decided to join DF in the first place, to get away from Public Service jobs. Bah disappointing...

Im only 19 Skylvia ;) Yea its a fail once fail forever

just got my quote from trojan. $7400 for fairly standard rebuild with forged pistons, $8600 to do the rb24 build :S plus aobut a grand for a new turbo as mine is fcuked dunno whether its worth going the rb24. im going to be struggling to pay for either i guess heh

or the other option is to get a import motor to replace yours, or just a reco job with out the extra bits... Good luck motor rebuilds suck. Done the mini a few times now, just because its a mini doesnt mean its not a pain, so small and fiddly. Good quote though

    • Yes, but it's not as easy as pulling a fuse on anything other than an R32. There's a routine you have to do, involving disconnecting a loom plug and bleeding down the preload.
    • A question for tuning awd, is it possible to disable the AWD? The stagea is an EA/T AWD, Toshi had said on a GTR, he was able to disable it and make it 2wd. Just wanted to double check if this was possible
    • Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.  
    • I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...
    • Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years
