Ford Fleet is nowhere hehe

Yeah mechies wages suck - Ive worked in the car industry long enough to know that .... but what most mechies do is go through the ranks to become service advisors pay still not brillant but hey our service advisors get company cars and eventually onto running workshop/service/ parts managers.

There's always opportunities out there to make more money in your chosen field. :D

Haha nice another MITA apprentice. What year are you in? I'm in my second year atm going onto third year soon and work for NuFord which is about 100m from Northside Nissan. They are actually moving next door to us to join the masses of AHG delearships along Waneroo Road.

Yup AHG is taking over the world ...... buy your shares in time :lol:

MR HOLMES!! That f**king bald c**t! I hate that f**ker! I'd forgetten all about him... thanks  :) So he's still hanging around yeh?

What about that dude with the big beard? The stores guy... He went off at me for wearing shorts... Said "Are you going to the beach or something?"

lmao

yeh both are still there

Holmes just went out of our room, then a mate was saying some shit about him....but he didn't close the door, and heard him, came back into the class and gave him a talking to :D hahah

Yeh - he would say "You should respect me and blah blah blah, Im older and balder and know more than you" shutup :unsure:

Has that dude with the big beard told you his story about driving prostitutes around? He said he takes them to jobs and shit and told us that "if one of them were in trouble, you wouldn't want to be driving in front of him"... And that when people don't pay he takes them down the ATM by force and takes their money <_< and also takes shit from their house... :(

Who's the guy who flys planes... I can't remember his name... He has a beard (Then again most of the teachers there do) i know he drives the VW golf... He still there?

Mechanic eh - even some of the best of them only get $35k/year (I hear) Go get a professional sklilled job :(

people taht are outside the industy are sooooo naive.

an automotive mechanice is a very proffesional, skilled job. We have to know a lot of stuff, from physics side of things, right through to binary code, and priority messaging systems. Just because Bob down at the local servo is a yobbo, doesnt mean there aren't proffesionals in the business.

And yes, for the amount of knowledge we have to carry around, the pay is absolute crap.

sorry if that came off a bit harsh, i just get sick of hearing about how un-proffessional mechanics are

Totally agree CrazyMan

Dunno who the plane guy is, havn't seen a golf

Can't say I've heard the Hooker story, he once was going on about being in 'Nam though. He's all tough, and then it's funny when you see him cleaning the toilets ;)

Holmes last week made me and a few other guys do the tests (on paper, not ocmputer) for subjects (sorry, 'competencies' ;)) that we hadn't even started studying yet. When we where doing them the teacher that was looking after us (not our normal teacher) just told us the answers, and basically said we where doing the tests because of $$$, us being ahead (we weren't even behind before) made Holmes look like top shit and gets more Government money/employers sending apprentices there.....dodgy. Going totally against how he always saysthat we need to have all the 'underpinning knowledge' before doing the prac or test

/rant :)

Yeh holmes is a complete cockspank...

Mandy! Now I remember his name, its mandy! Its funny when he would tell us to do shit no-one would do it and laugh at him.

And the lovable competencies... Most of competencies would involve more or less going through the same shit we did in the last one... I was glad the day I finished there.. :D

Luckily for me I'm in the Ford building so I don't have to put up with (much) all the MITA assholes. Seriously I believe the apprentices have more brains than the staff there. The only person I respect from MITA is Mr. Bishop as he is now looking after us in the Ford building and he knows an absolute shitload.

Bottom line - MITA=shithole

go get a skilled job not like those trades WTF

i hate shite like that trades are highly skilled ( and underpaid)

we all spend four years just to get the basics

just cause we get dirty does not mean we arnt skilled

hehe i go through mita too but luckily enough i don't have to deal with any of em

i'm doing a heavy diesel apprenticeship so hopefully have better money in the end.

worst mistake i made going through mita all the guys i talk to at tafe are gettin about 50% more pay then anyone going through mita!

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
