My backyard... Around $2k in materials, say $2500 just to highlight the ridiculousness of what they want for labour... First official quote was $5k. Dreaming. Second quote was from a description only, $3-6k, but the third quote, which is my favourite........... $9000

Have to call to confirm that the price includes taking the virginity of his 3 centrefold daughters.

Seriously these kunce are off their heads. It's not even technical work. If I can do it myself, you can't ask for $1500 a day labour, for a job that would take 2 days tops, with a straight face.

And $1500 a day is the $5k quote obviously... Not sure where the $9k mother f**ker gets his 24ct gold timber from...

Clearly you mine that timber out of the ground and it requires a lot of processing like any minerals you dig up.

That he can clad your garden in that at such a low price and so quickly is amazing in and of itself.

Under a union, they wouldn't be able to demand such ridiculous money.

Construction industry is still profitable... Because at the end of the day everyone needs to make money. Except the buyers.
Or essential services need to keep running, because they're essential. And people have no choice but to pay it.

But no one gives a f**k about your garden.

I had a similar experience albeit of a far lower value.

Had a broken pipe in the front yard from a tree root... I dug out the pipe and removed the root, plumber came round cut out a bit of the pipe and attached some sort of joinmatron device... 5 mins work... $300

 

pipe broke again on the weekend (different spot, same reason) so I went to bunnings and bought the part... did it myself in apprx 5 mins

$7

At the moment the people who appear to me to be ripping off the most are specialists in the medical profession.

First visit literally a 5 minute consultation with a few background questions that could have been answered by me filling out a form = $250. Even with $150 paid by Medicare that's extortion of the highest order.

Y'all here complaining about $300 for someone to drive to your house, use materials, fix something and then drive off. But at the same time people here have been discussing hourly charge out rates for IT staff to sit at their desk and take 3 piss breaks an hour for $270+

 

If it cost $300 to see how easy a job is and what materials to use, so you can DIY it in future... Maybe it's not so bad.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
