51:39 I was on similar money in 07. A qualified diesel mechanic in a union workshop was 27 in 2011 when I was qaulified. And dealers only charged $100ph and paid 23-25ph for a qualified diesel mechanic in Melbourne. Now they charge 160ph and pay 40 for a decent mechanic. Electricians get that as a 2nd year apprentice. Yep. Can't imagine why there is only 8000~ diesel mechanics in Australia.
High praise for not advertising expensive parts but helping us get better bang for the buck. Oem upgrades are always easier to fit, cheaper and easier to get parts for later
Just FYI for Gian... (sorry if wrong spelling) Brake bias comes from hydraulic theory and different sized pistons in front and rear calipers. Clamping Force = Pressure * Area E.g. a front caliper with double the total piston surface area than the rear will have double the clamping force. Pads... Frictional force = Clamping force * frictional coefficient (of the pad) Then at the disc... Braking torque = Frictional Force * Disc Radius
Hey Benny internet is here again for the gearbox. Fill is 4.85L for a 6cyl not level with the reverse light switch which explains why it is coming out of the fill hole. Awesome episode love the Falcon stuff keep it coming.

@17:20 SD card stands for Secure Digital. Well, that was the original term when they were fiest launched. Also, older digital video cams used to have actual spinning Hard Drives. But nowadays, modern camera record in such high data rates, due to the high MegaPixels and 4K recording, That a spinning HDD literally cannot write the data fast enough to work. example - you can maybe get 100MBps from a spinning HDD. SD/CF cards can now easily hit 10x that speed (1GBps or higher). In mechanic terms.... Old HDD are jets in a carburettor. Modern SD cards are 2000cc injectors.
Also worth considering that hard drives don't like shock damage - if you drop or bump the camera hard enough while it's reading/writing you risk sending the head straight into the platter and destroying the whole thing

"does the center hub actually support anything" is an ongoing debate but the physical fact is, it doesn't support anything, all the force is transferred by the force of friction between the wheel, disk and hub, and the lugs provide the clamping force. If there was any sideways load on the wheel studs/bolts at all, they would break off the moment you tried to drive off (not really but they would fail very very quickly). There is a paper published on this but I can't link to it obviously. Since most wheels are centered by the lug nuts having no centering rings is totally fine. Some cars have flat lugs and those are centered by the hub, but that's rare. For example, the original WV beetle 5 lug steel wheels don't even have a "center bore" at all. the whole middle part of the wheel is empty, and there's 5 little tabs with holes coming in from the edge and that's what bolts the wheel to the hub.
Just an FYI if ya wanna do a front brake upgrade on a 2nd Hilux around the 2000 model you can use R33 GTST calipers with a BF falcon rotor and R31 braided lines. Will stop on a dime. :)>>

The fastest you can slow down is right on the edge of locking up. If your current brakes can lock up easily then upgrading them won't make you stop faster. But you get the benefit of them having better cooling and such, so they will work for longer.
a good way to think about brake upgrades. ultimate deceleration force is dictated by the tyres. but most brakes can lock a wheel once or survive one or two hard decel efforts. the idea of upgrade is to allow the repeated efforts needed for fast twisty or track driving where you are hard on the brakes over and over with little time between cool downs
I started a mechanic apprenticeship in 2007, and i knew the answer to how much first year apprentices get. I had a massive chuckle when Gian said $17/hr.

The leverage question basically allows you to apply more pressure/force to the rotor before causing your wheels to lock up effectively slowing you down and decreasing your braking distance instead of causing you to skid, if you were to apply that same amount of force to a smaller rotor you'd lock the wheels up causing a slide and effectively increasing your braking distance. Also the 10 hour loop should be a couple goes of the rachet spanner then the hose snip.
I got a set of braided lines for my BA Typhoon 10 yrs ago from Race Brakes in Sydney. Also got a front upgrade kit from a mob in Melbourne which used a Territory rear disc (yes with internal drum) and a special bracket, for my previous BF xr6.
26:49 That extra hole is an access portal hole for cable handbrake piston adjustment ( flat head screwdriver or small prybar style tool), normally need to pull the OE rubber sealing grommet from the original? I'm more fluent in the VN-VY commodore range, and that's what even OEM spec rear disks used the little hole for, rather than setting hand brake, test fitting disk, removing, adjusting etc to avoid cable slack in the lever.
I've got the same pads and rotors on the front of my VE daily. Gotta clean the rims every 3 days to a week they produce that much dust. I don't mind the cold brakes on 1st drive they work a treat when hot
26:49 the small hole is to allow you to adjust the internal handbrake mechanism. How did you fit the rear calipers without trimming the dust cover? I guess if the rears squeal because the dust cover rubs on the disc, they will eventually self clearance.
@@BennysCustomWorks easy fix though - trim 15mm off each side so the calliper bracket doesn’t squash it against the back of the disc and job done. Love the channel, especially now you’re on falcons!
Not having duel calipers gives the foot pedal feedback from the hydro, so if youre braking and use the hydro at the same (corner entry) time it messes with the pedal. Bigger brakes can hold more heat before fading, along with more braking force which wont get you much if your locking 5he tyres anyway.
Something I've always thought about doing is dual front calipers instead of running a massive big brake upgrade. Personally, I don't like the look or feel of 18, 19, 20+ inch wheels on a car, so running two smaller calipers seem like it might be an out-of-the-box method to up the clamping force without putting on wheels I don't want. I'd probably have to find a rotor that can handle the extra heat though. EDIT: Not for drifting. More for road course/street.

Cheers anyway Benny you probably didn’t need me spamming you with potential rabbit holes to go down. 😂
The expensive lesson I learned is a bigger caliper isn't always better. Going from brembo 4 pot to 6 pot meant significantly worse cooling and terrible pad knockoff. That's with identical 800C track pads, rotors and 650F fluid so it was a direct comparison. Also same piston area so theoretically no need for a master upgrade. Now the question is whether to go to proper motorsport calipers or just back to the perfectly decent oem...

You can buy most products in bulk and it is just compressed air to build pressure. But then you got oil changes and you see people in the US use several Quart(1L) bottles at a time, here we use a 5L as standard and 1L for top-ups. I saw one guy doing an oil change on a diesel and went through 15 bottles... where we would use a 5/10/20L container if you do it semi-regularly a Drum.

Then at the disc...
Braking torque = Frictional Force * Disc Radius
Then you have different brake leavers and master cylinder dimensions.

But now we have to train apprentices and tyre fitters because the mechanic to apprentice ratio is broken
I remember getting my first payslip as a 1st year and seeing $1200, then I remember they missed my first payslip and we got paid fortnightly..... Haha
Yeweew
Biscuits and cookies every different things
A spindle based hard drive probably doesn't have the write speed
10 hour loop of asking for a 10 hour loop when?
I'm sad that you forgot the most important part of a brake upgrade. Painting the calipers red. 😢
jezz I got $65.00 a fortnight as a 1st year apprentice......you were living in luxury...... but it was 1976
Hold up, your brake clean isn't in a disposable aerosol can?
@@YelloEye you can buy bulk in Aus ( and possibly all over the world)
@BennysCustomWorks that's neat. In the US I've only ever seen the aerosols. I imagine the bulk stuff like that is a bit easier on the lungs and pocket book.
You can buy most products in bulk and it is just compressed air to build pressure.
But then you got oil changes and you see people in the US use several Quart(1L) bottles at a time, here we use a 5L as standard and 1L for top-ups. I saw one guy doing an oil change on a diesel and went through 15 bottles... where we would use a 5/10/20L container if you do it semi-regularly a Drum.
$17 an hour HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
in 2001 I was a first year wood machinist apprentice, 15 years old $4.92 an hour
