What do we expect? Society has taken the power to discipline adolescents away from the parents and the schools. The little darlings have been taught that they are "special" and "unique", they can do no wrong. There are no moral absolutes being taught at home or in the schools. There is no reason for them to act decently, socially incorrect behaviour goes unpunished. They are fed a steady diet of anti-hero "violence is cool" message from the mass media. Where are they too learn decent standards of appropriate behaviour?

The blame lies on my generation for abolishing ethical standards, and teaching that individual "rights" are more important than a responsibilty to your fellow man and world. I could go on, at length, but I don't want to start another spanking/no spanking thread. Instead, my sympathies to the injured party, I hope the damage is less than it appears right now, (I know from personal experience that head wounds bleed profusely, but your brain box can sustain an amazing amount of damage and be alright), and you are, physically at least, quickly healed. The mental shock will probably take longer.

I just read this on another forum else where. The OP (in Scotland) had been hit over the face with a bottle and had a knife waved in his face by a bunch of young teenagers.

I think this response from another guy sums it all up.

It's also somewhat comforting to see that this isn't just a Canberra thing. So the next time some young punk puffs up I think I'll give him a piece of my mind.

Society these days is all about alleviating responsibility for your actions. You see it everywhere.

~ A Pub is responsible for you because you drank too much (till you walk in the door of another licensed establishment or your home.

~ Your employer is responsible for your massive accident simply because there was no sign saying "do not put your hands in the blender".

etc

the list goes on and on and on. Its stupid and its breeding a generation of people who simply will refuse to take responsibility for their actions and engage even a little bit of common sense - its ALWAYS someone elses fault.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
