Imagine the people, the places, the things you once knew were not gone, were not dead but never existed. What type of hell would that be?

A Beautiful Mind

A great movie but such a terrible tale of what happened to an absolute genius. It's funny how life gives us so much but then cripples us when we least expect it. The entire concept of having what you perceive to be reality being pulled out from under your feet is truly shocking.

Food for thought. :)

was also watching.

really like the movie.

and is 'based on a true story', so even more thought provoking.

just stop and think for a second, how do you know every single person you have spoken to exists?

you dont.

you cant.

but, we take it for granted.

I've seen it a number of times. One of my favourites. A little like Donnie Darko and Donnie Brasco. The idea of completely destroying someone's reality, that's crazy!

So it's after 10pm and I've just got in from another silly day of work. I'm in Cairns. I've been up since 4.30am this morning for the privilege. Time poor? We all are.

So I notice that the whoretown has gone off the handle today and thought this is going to be a good read. Well I was wrong. I think that all that has been said in regards to the issues with SAuQLD.com is all that needs to be said.

I'm not impressed with the animosity of the whole discussion, regardless of who thinks they're in the right. I am not negating the value of individual opinion on topics that affect the individual or the greater Club, however I do condemn personal sledging, baiting, taunting, etc.

I have full confidence in our current exec team and extended committee, their ability to get the job done and their integrity. We all do things in the little time we have for the Greater Good of the Club. To grow and sustain the activity of the club takes a significant amount of time and effort, and I know that each and every exec and committee member takes the utmost pride in the way we go about things. We are not deceitful, we are not secretive, nor do we have personal agendas for the running of the club.

These guys (collective) have not only been undertaking their daily jobs, executed their Club role duties as well as sustained family commitments, they have taken up the slack in my recent absence. I feel guilty for the amount of work they have been putting in for the running and developing the Club. I appreciate the hard work they all put in and would hope that the rest of the club do the same.

I would like to see some more active member involvement. It is your club, not ours. If you want to see a specific event run, there is nothing preventing you from making it happen. Talk to us, we are not here as dictators, we will try to assist you with getting an event happening. We are here to facilitate the running and growth of the club and as such have to take motion from the majority.

Now lets all hold hands and sing Cumbaya.

Peace.

Working from home, My son got suspended for defending himself...should of just beat the kid senseless, school teacher stood by when he was hit in the head from behind and let the kid unload on him before he fought back (trying to do the right thing waiting for the teacher to stop it) then they suspend him for the same amount of time as the kid that attacked him.

Yep sounds like Qld education, so you've got company at home this week at least... Kinda hard to be pissed off at the boy if it wasn't his fault

Yeah, I am not mad at him.

He went to the teacher like he was told to and they stood there and watched, When he did unload on the other kid he busted him up pretty good so i don't think there will be a repeat from him.

I had to argue with the principle about it so I asked him " If I was to start beating the shit out of you now would you expect one of your staff to intervene and at what point when they don't would you start to fight back?"

This reduced the suspension by a day at least.

If you were in a zombie apocalypse and could only have four weapons, what would they be?

1 primary gun

1 secondary gun

1 melee weapon

1 vehicle or misc weapon

.50 Desert Eagle

Some kind of 9mm semi auto

katana

bushmaster sounds pretty sweet

Oooh so this is the non secret whoretown... can't tell special stories about buntz in here ;)

Tell them in the secret whoretown then ;)

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
