Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

Where to start...

Monday afternoon, we have a script run which exports stuff into a stupid legacy forecast reporting tool. Script effed up and actually pushed info into P6 and blew away regions forecasts, to the tune of about $1B. Was at work until after 6:30 searching for what happened. No dice.

Tuesday, come in, turns out that the script had been changed, looking for a tag, so at least I knew what exactly was affected. So have to get the planner in the region to basically re do his month end update. However, Tuesday just happened to be the day that this region got their Win 7 upgrade, so planner had no P6 access to do it.

So yesterday was spent helping smash through the update with him as we are now 2 days behind EOM. At least I left work at a reasonable time.

But the bike battery died halfway home and had to get Cara to come get me (which went down well cause she is sick), so still didn't get home til after 8pm. While waiting for her I removed battery to charge it overnight.

Get her to drop me at bike this morning, chuck battery in, sweet everything works. But progressively died riding back into work, just made it to the carpark without indicators or headlights etc. Now I am stuck in city, 2.5 days behind where I need to be, needing a new battery before dark (no headlights).

Cara is real happy she has to run around and get me one and bring it into CBD.

    • 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
