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

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

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

    • The offset doesn't really have anything to do with dish directly. I mean it kind of does but it also doesn't, it's only tangenial. The offset is purely how much offset (get it) the mounting face is from the CENTER of the width of the rim. I.e, the mounting face would be directly in the middle of the 9.5inches if it was a 18x9.5 ET0 rim. Given it is a +12 rim, the mounting face is 12mm further away from the center (to the outside of the car). Your fronts are +30, so the mounting face is 30mm further away from the center (to the outside of the car). I would wager this doesn't look right, because most skylines generally have the same with guards front to back. So I'd think your fronts look significantly more sunken in than your rears. I'd wager by about 18mm, or so.
    • My '96 r33 Skyline has Rota GTR, 18 x 9.5 inch, ET30 on the front and Rota GTR-D, 18 x 9.5 inch, ET12 on the rear. The 12mm offset is throwing me for a loop. Is it due to the "deep dish" design of the wheel that the offset it so low? If I were buying a set of new wheels, could I put 30mm offsets on the rear and reasonably expect them to fit? I have GTR Brembos and 370Z rotors (355mm/350mm) if it matters. Thank you.
    • here is the video, again really hard to hear but in person its very loud 20240703_175734.mp4
    • I drove my ER34 for the first time since I got it, It sat for 4 years in Japan, and i got it 7 months ago, have done a ton of work, garage test ran perfectly. (no air suction sound) BUT when accelerating (under a load) it makes a loud air suction sound, or anytime I get into the throttle...it sounds like a leaf blower. I also noticed that it did not seem to have very decent pull or power, and the boost gauge doesn't seem to go much above 0,  its stock other then full exhaust, apex intake, 50/50 bov and front mount intercooler. this is my first Turbo car so I don't know if this is correct? I did take a video but for some reason it is very hard to hear in the video, in person it literally sounds like some one has a leaf blower under the hood...my first though was a leak?? however I have check over all lines, clamps, hoses and fittings.   thoughts?
    • Yes! Finally, now we're talking
