f**k this baskins shit is frustrating

that place is dead as every night of the week. we'd bring them close to $100 in an hour on thursdays

Let me get this right, a business wants to to go away and not spend your money there cause your scaring away potential customers...

Im shocked and dumb founded, I personally read this as "We dont want your business"...

Other tenants would complain i agree, this would cause friction between them...

Obviously the profit you bring is not worth the hassle to them...

This is the epic depot I was talking about last night: http://www.nearmap.com/?ll=-27.333333,153....mp;nmd=20100912

Thats the wholesale 2nd hand machinery yard that council is trying to shut down...

lick my penis col

i was there, for the very first one (L)

:P

Pretty much lol.

Yeah that's how I read it too.

I'm not sure if I detect sarcasm in your first sentance or not though...

Over winter, the place is a ghost town. Some nights we would be the ONLY customers. Obviously in summer it is busier but I really doubt we are scaring away any customers. And if we are, it wouldnt be more business than the amount we bring.

He sure has changed his tune, from encouraging us to go there and giving us discount to a veritable "F*ck off". I wonder what the true story behind it is...

I guess so, although it has been up till now...

In any case, if we aren't welcome, we will leave. Hopefully his reply is a little more positive.

So, I can go there and buy stuff?

Why is the council trying to shut it down?

Wholesale yard though. We need a group buy on heavy machinery :P

what sort of machinery are we talking here? Annas dad is in the market for one of those bigass skid steer ride on mowers that the councils use.

Maybe if the council is shutting down they will be keen to just get rid of sh*t...

Theres a heap of stuff in there. Trucks, cranes, plant equipment, etc. Not sure about mowers, might be.

I'm keen for a car trailer. They have about half a dozen parked out the front, including one newish looking fully enclosed job (its probably out of the budget but some of the others might not be, especially if they are closing down).

no sarcasm intended

Yes you can!!!

Because its been re-zoned as residential about 12 years ago...

The owner of the land could not sell it due to flood risk (funny now)...

So he is leasing it out to a company who buy and sell second hand machinery...

As is a residential area they have little right to use it as a commercial property bordering on industrial which is illegal...

So council is trying to say selling machinery is industrial but technically they get away with it cause its commercial... politics...

You can save up to 80% this weekend and get a free rug

From the street it looks like anything from bobcats up to big earth moving equipment, worth a look see...

Nays dad bought a bobcat and a kanga/dingo from him a few months back... He was about half the price that everyone else wanted...

I think they buy all their gear at auctions, people desperate to sell then pass the savings on...

He seems to turn over a shit load of machinery, might be a chop shop? :D

As forseen, not a particularily productive day.

It's not even noon, and I am already at home, pretending to be in meetings.

Martin, who were you going to use for your cage? Deliberating between a cheap half bolt in job, or just biting the bullet and doing it right. My mate that was going to do it is too busy with work

Cool, So I guess I just rock up, go down the driveway and ask how much they want for the car trailers?

There's no signs up or anything which is why I wasn't sure what it actually was...

keen to get a small mobile crane. wonder how much that would be...

That's what she said.

Not 100% sure yet, but the first person I plan to talk to is Norm Singleton: http://www.fiatabarthclassicracing.com.au

This is because he apparantly does good work, and specialises in Italian sh*tboxes cars.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
