yeah the wildlife is pretty funny and cute out here.

we range from camels, brumbies (wild horses), bungarrows (big big lizards), sheep, cattle, mill workers (heh heh mining joke), ferral cops, emu's, kangaroos, rabbits.

best sight the other day was a huge wedgetail eagle feeding off some roadkill on the road.

the food is free.. give it some then get some more! :cheers::( well unless your living locally.

cool mining job, decent money there and you are in IT so i'm assuming you'd be in a room with aircon.

if i knew more about networking i'd apply for those but Win NT and basic workgroup is the extent of my knowledge. why couldn't i ever get LInux to work dammit.

haha

ive never used linux before.. or even seen a computer with linux!!

yea all offices have aircons as these rooms get the same temp as outside.

i must say i never thought ild ever like to work but this place rocks!

so much cool stuff goin on.

  • 3 weeks later...

nah..no-one really knows just yet. Depends if CSC (BHPs outsourcer) require staff. Im sure they will pull some staff with WMC knowledge...even though I hear they want to implement their systems and ditch WMC/Unisys's.

Not that I care anyway! I just resigned !! Off to Rio Tinto

Working for an outsourcing company sucks hard.

Cam...yeah. Ive done about 4 years with WMC at kwinana/city/rivervale/leederville(unisys) with some stints at Mt Keith.

I just resigned and my final day is ..gulp** friday the 13th - then i start with Rio on the 16th.

Which company and site are you at?

    • 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).
