Husky

lets call it 12 sheets.

happy b'day old chap

made of win

always read the small print eh

what you notice reading through the negative comments is that most of them are written by illiterate twats.

Try and have fun next time eh

your name matches your avatars hair and your car, i like it.

haha no i'm joking, although i've had a prod at them out of interest never really had the time to put into it. I'm a busy man don't you know Good luck with the big day mate, take some kind of stomach settlers before hand, i hear the brown stains look bad on camera

sadly no otherwise this post would have been up earlier tbh they did a pretty fair chop all round the company. we were very contractor heavy though at the time.

winner at least it works for some *sniff*

no no, we need external people bear in mind we have come out of a recession and we are coming out of it quite strongly. In the recession "savings" were made so there simply isnt the headcount right now.

ah ha, funny you mention that, they are changing that little bit very soon

haha you'd fit right in here, plenty of people in manufacturing with big sticks Can only do electrical engineering, and plc software programming. Dont think i have pistol whipped anyone yet where i currently work! you want my job i'm just moving out of electrical into jaguar transmissions. electrical is a rediculously huge department, always recruiting.

im lost, how did the interweb thingy make this happen? do tell? congrats btw

haha you'd fit right in here, plenty of people in manufacturing with big sticks

you want; experienced hire, Prod dev, Engineer to order thats where they make the cool custom stuff

haha god no, far from being qualified bud you can be a lowly pleb like me

Look at the engine bay of the zed and think about it in a prototype process. Generally speaking most automotive companies follow a process where by your prototypes run in the manner of: Powertrain & chassis prototypes, these are normally hidden under a previous models body as they are mostly cut and shut jobs to shoe horn it in for testing purposes as these departments need mroe time in developement. Body prototypes, these advance on the engine prototypes, depending on the level of change sometimes they are still in a previous cars body and sometimes all wrapped up in camo as they resemble the finished shape. these also aim to have alot more functionality within the rest of the vehicle as they are a test bed for most depts. Production intent prototypes, these are meant to be exactly what will be produced but made in a "one off" manner. Manufactuing prototypes, used to develop the manufacturing processes. this is the fundamental way companies work and is no secret. So, back to the zed engine bay... The engine is designed for the car on test beds, then they are put into the chassis and developed from there in the first prototypes, at this stage the car is very immature and it is difficult to complete accurate tests on its driveability. As the car moves through its prototype stages nissan may have found the front end of the car needing a stiffen up. by this time the engine is designed and already in the car, it cant be moved, the plenum is already designed and being used. So how do we fit a strut bar in... the options available: -Place above the exsiting plenum, this requires a raising of the bonnet as there is a specified gap by law between any solid under bonnet parts and the bonnet itself for pedestrian impact purposes. -Lower the front of the plenum, this slightly starves the front two cylinders of air but allows the required clearences to fit the bar in without an alteration of the bonnet. Which one is cheaper and which one will nissan choose? Thats right, they starve the front two cylinders as its cheaper than all the other available options. And so the plenum spacer is a polular mod in the 350z

hmm, i would get hold of a new inticator stalk unit and swap it out to test if its a hardware fault. :pmr35lee: and see if he can help you

In these hard times I thought I'd prod some opportunities out there just incase people are interested http://www.jaguarlandrovercareers.com/

everything you could name (materials, design, etc) all comes down to money. Money is (sadly) at the heart of car developement and production less wieght costs more money here'th end the lesson

He can be an arse from time to time vik, and then he laughs

and i have great delight when i'm round shutting them all and watch hin hit the roof in rage you are a total **** when you do that Genuinely angry even now at you mentioning it.

well after I managed to lead you to a pub with parking / spare room / good food AND many many hot waitresses... I will admit to having two browsers open so i can have different Gmails open without them interfering with each other. I do keep on average 40 tabs open at once as biscuit will testafy
