If I decide not to work in the rain or infact walk to the job and get wet then be expected to work on electrical equipment and tell my foreman that it's to risky what do you think would happen? I KNOW They tell you to get f**ked...

it works both ways people, thats why we have union and safety reps on the job to say when it ok or not, some SS do the wrong thing and get a bad name and some good SS do the right thing yet still get a bad name...

I have worked in countrys were it is against the law to be a member...or even start a workers union...this certain country has similar construction death rate to that of singapore...

we could all go on for hours..

Safety, Unions.....

The point is people get upset that they take things a bit too far.

We are in one of the best countries in the world with a wealth of oppurtunities and they want to milk it for every friggin cent. Then they cry when theres no work, go figure.

This thread will go nowhere and could go forever. And the last thing we want is for another week of tools down because a member read this thread and cant work because he is emotionally scarred we cursed his blessed gravy train, i mean union.

Thats a no brainer though...who in their right mind would get you to work with electrical equip in the rain...But wiring up a panel that isnt live etc etc???

Yeh, could go on for days... ;)

Biggest thing is, if union sites were so much safer then nbo union sites where managers/supervisors are encouragign all these dangerous practices...then why is there no difference in accidents/fatalaties/injuries etc?

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      "lol dunno" either But like you, I can't see any reason they would need to be different LHD to RHD

      NC MX5

      I agree with you WRT the hard top. MX5's may be one of the better looking soft tops but I cannot think of ANY car, EVER that looks better with a soft top vs a hard top (or a designed roof). At all, ever. I also feel this way about the C5 Vette, the Z06 looks horrible compared to it's original form, it has an exaggerated version of the differences you're talking about.

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅

      Help needed issue with heater core blower and actuator and need someone to fix this and reinstall dash - 32 - Gtst

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.

      Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
