Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Speaking of tax dollars, repeal day was yesterday. What are Mr Ants' thoughts on the matter?

About bloody time!

I welcome these amendments in fact I could almost kiss them.

We live in a really wonderful country that offers incredible opportunities to the ones that are searching for it compared to other well developed countries. HOWEVER, the level of bureaucracy in Australia has been on the rise for quite a number of years and not only is it burdensome to us all but has prohibited Australia to become more competitive as well.

Removal of the so called ‘red tape’ is certainly a welcoming measure and will assist businesses carrying on what they do best and that is concentrating on their business operations.

Australia is simply too highly regulated and having the need to have a watchdog for every sector is simply not viable and canning the watchdog for charities is fine by me especially since the ATO has been already been administering these duties already.

The reduction of compliance requirement within the future of financial advice act (FOFA) is a doubled edge sword though……….I know many financial advisers that do the right thing by their clients and do not even accept commissions and as such would benefit from yesterdays reduced regulation, HOWEVER, it is other gung-ho financial advisers that need such regulations in place to keep them in check. I think that other controls should be put introduced like maybe force each financial advisers (of certain size) to establish a risk committee within their organisation to mitigate any potential abuse or self-interest arising and reports from the committee can then be audited / reviewed by ASIC (just an suggestion I thought of as a middle ground)

This is only scratching the surface, more unnecessary regulations need to be removed at Federal level and especially at State government level; take a look at your local councils for example, you need a form for a form to get another form these days, thus only adding to the frustration of us general household consumers to try and do the right thing i.e. could be getting soil testing done, permits, etc….

Much more to be done but this is a good start.

There's definitely a lot more that needs to be done but it's a great start. The number of people working in government in antiquated divisions is remarkable...

The filter in the RB, while not difficult, could be a lot easier. Magic Mike wins that round

Ls1 oil filter, directly at the bottom with nothing in the way and you don't end up with oil on your block

I hate spark plugs on any rb with a crossover pipe. Again not difficult but well annoying

Spark plugs on an ls1, open bonnet take of lead unscrew put in new plug put on lead close bonnet

    • 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).
