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.

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
