poor kid. :(

^ ^ ^ Chlorine based hydrotherapy baths are apparently effective against this insidious gastro bug. It's highly virulent though, and it seems to have spread by a means other than just toilet seats or food - faecal transfer.

Lyssavirus from bats n flying foxes is potentially fatal.

Bats as far south as Sydney have shown +ve to Lyssavirus recently.

Infection can be transmitted through any form of contact - direct or indirect - but not airborne.

See these things in their 100s at dusk n night above motorways?

It's getting scary how many of these pathogens are growing immune to our treatments...it begs the question: how long until we find one we can't treat ala plague?

Till I read the golden staph post by OP/Scabies by Birds, I always thought chicken pox was the worst. It gets inside your eyelids. Fark that.

Scabies ain't so bad until you look at the images of them up close...or come to terms with the reality that, no you aren't schizophrenic, there are actually bugs crawling beneath your skin and laying eggs. If you can avoid this, it's just a bunch of annoying itches all over your body that don't stop itching until you pesticide them.

Mind you, it's not so different from the reality that your own body is made up of millions and billions of little crawling and reproducing individual organisms aka cells..and that really trips me out thinking how all of those cells can work in unison to achieve the goals of a single body; maybe they don't even know they're doing it? Maybe we as bodies don't know we are doing it, for a larger cause than our own lives...

Albopictus the Asian Tiger Mosquito has been found in Qld.

It can bite 30x/min and can spread Dengue Fever.

Fears are held that this invasive species is coming to southern latitudes and can put the end to backyard bbqs.

    • 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).
