Was it agreed to that the trial shift would be paid? Some aren't, and just rocking up to it is taken as an agreement.

Kitchen work can be pretty hectic, long periods without breaks, especially over the holidays isn't exactly abnormal.

As for your tendon giving you shit... Should've figured that a job requiring you to be on your feet the whole shift would be unpleasant.

Yeah my missus first shift (in hospitality) was also unpaid. From it however she got a good job, with decent bosses and some great co-workers. If you think being a dishy is hard, don't bother trying a trade :P

Pierre - mate I completely understand regarding blistering knee pain!!!!

Feel for you bud. Rest up, if it swells up with fluid get some washing soda crystals from your local supermarket (coles/woolies/Iga) wrap a small amount in a tea towel you wont use again and leave it wrapped around the knee overnight. It'll draw out excess fluid and go rock hard by morning, empty, wash, and do again until swelling subsides.

I started a gym membership last week for the 1st time in many many years - went tuesday, thurs & saturday, then again today. Not much I can do without kneecaps for the legs, limited to calf raises / hamstring curls and seated leg press (half motion). The seated press is really working my patella tendons and Ive been pulling up pretty well. Aiming to get the tendons strong, bust out some calf & hammy muscles, along with upper body conditioning. 6'8" 114kg & aiming to get down under 110kg whilst loosing midrift 'padding' but gaining overall size and strength.

Moving house next wednesday, heading to christie downs near the train station. Not too sure of the area but need to be there for daily transport to the city for Uni over the next 4yrs. Better to spend 50mins studying while travelling than to drive, park etc in city traffic.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
