actually I wouldn't mind finding my fence lines, and key levels :thumbsup:

Can't imagine it would be fun to do a 1300spm sloping block though.

eep upwey! last job i did there it nearly drove me insane! took 2 day and the block had a height different from top to bottom of about 16 meters on a kinda standard 800spm block :S might be a bit much for a weekend job lol

im a network engineer and Rigger. :action-smiley-069:

Intersting combination!

I work at cadbury :P

On the upside i get cheap chocolate and a good pay rate. Worst job in the world though

I was a network engineer/PM at Cadbury for aboput 5 years. I wonder if the crew is still the same out at Ringwood/St Kilda.

That happens at Schweppes in Tullamarine. The company I work for is contracted to do a bit of electrical work there.

It's funny though, all depends which security guard you get at the gate. Some just glance in the back of the van, while others will want to see inside your toolbox :(

They always used to do it at Ringwood too :rofl: We had em sorted though ;)

At the moment i'm working almost exclusively with hazardous materials.. in particular Asbestos. If you have any questions about hazardous materials (particularly at your work place) fire me a PM :P. Love my job. Before this job I was running the Parkdale Bottleshop.

You will be fine until about 20 years later when you will 5-10% more likely to develop cancer and in particular Mesothelioma or cancer of the lining of the lung which is at this stage completely incurable and see you essentially drown to death in your own lung juice in a year or two. Alternatively you will be fine. So ya.. about the same as if you smoked a few cigarettes really :thumbsup:.

Asbestos is harmless if swallowed. It is only the respiratory system which is affected.

And yes Asbestos could be substituted for smoking, i'm not sure it would provide quite the same feeling though :P but the hazard is about the same!

      Genuine nismo N1 rear pods - anyone got any?

      By Sleepergm · Posted

      I’m sure this has been discussed many times. But anyone have any or know someone that is selling genuine N1 rear pods? I’m still shocked no one replicates these yet. Looking to buy some. Added a photo of the part. 👍🏻

      Alcon TA6 Calipers on R33 GTST - Flexing

      By Nismo32 · Posted

      Hello, The dog bone wont have much to do with this - the calliper applies a load about the disc - the outside of the calliper is more flexible than the inside by virtue of it not haveing the big torqued down bolts, additional metal structure on the caliper itself, and mostly not being cantilevered. So the outside of the calliper is pushing away as its more bendy and brining the inside with it as an equal pressure on both sides of the caliper looks to cause more flex on the outside - which makes sense. I have done this same thing with the calliper unbolted from the dog bone - same thing happens. Although id have to watch more carefully to see how much more the outside moves than the inside in this case. Im guessing there is a point in the pedals travel where the pressure is not actually increasing in the system - its just volumne displacemnt - and because the outside of the calliper is more flexy, it receives that volume. Have gone back to Alcon again - but beyond a resolution there I would stay clear of this calliper and possibly any of the lighweight type of callipers - especially if you have the smaller 15/16" master cylinder. Cheers.

      Yes, you can very clearly see from more than one angle that it is the whole caliper moving left-right, not deformation of the caliper. The top moves, the bottom moves. Equally. It should be possible to see where the movement is occurring. Just need to look more closely.

      Water pump replacement - Sydney region

      By billyons · Posted

      Hi Folks, my 2009 Skyline 370GT “Crossover” wagon is losing water and has been diagnosed as needing a water pump replacement (it’s an internal timing-chain driven unit, not the usual electric type that seems to be used across many manufacturers). Am looking for any repairer recommendations in the Sydney /Wollongong region who can be trusted and are experienced in this sort of work on the VQ 36 engine. Many thanks….Bill

      While all of the above makes sense, we're not talking about some Ling Long calipers of AliExpress; Alcon would have to be one of the top 5 caliper suppliers in the world and these are not their budget units. If there were manufacturing defects in the caliper causing this issue I'd be very disappointed. Having re-watched the video a few times I think it's dog bone/mount related. The caliper moves independently to the rest of the suspension and brake assembly which suggests to me that it's not mounted rigidly. I know this sounds stupid, but have you got enough thread on the retaining bolts or are they a poofteenth too long and it's not super tight? For axial movement to be occurring without deforming the caliper that can be the only answer.
