I'll let ya know what the wife thinks about child birth in about 7 1/2 months!! Thing is she's looking forward to it, doesn't want an epidural or anything, wants to do it as natural as she can (its our first)

zomg whoever told her that it is TERRIBLE advice. Convince her to get an epidural - she and you won't regret it.

My wife gave birth 8 months ago and was in so much pain even WITH an epidural, that she had to have gas. The beauty is, with female hormones, she had completely forgotten the pain 1 day later.

However, Carolyn actually started crowning just as the epidural top-up was due (hence the plain relief was running out) yet they couldn't administer it as she was too close to the end. Despite that, once he was out, the doctor stitched her up WITHOUT ANY PAIN RELIEF whatsoever - at that point the hormones/pheromones kicked in and she was gold. However her stitches down there were an entirely different story for the next month :)

And yes I can't agree more Rubz - a few hours of medicated pain in birth is nothing compared with 3 weeks of agonizing shoulder pain - or even worse knee pain like Tangles.

And yes, unqualified people should just STFU no matter what. How can Amber think she knows anything about the pain of childbirth if she has never experienced it herself.

Heya Roo,

I know where your coming from, we have had conversations that i also dont need to see the need to mention on here, but i know that your completely justified in your feelings!

I dont know anything about having kids, but im good at waking them up arent i Andrew! lol!

I think any women that avoids having kids because of the associated pain doesnt deserve to be a mother anyway, as any normal women like my wife are happy to endure that sort of pain to bring a new life into the world, its the joy that little life brings that is the important part IMO.

Amber annoys me on more topics than this one, mainly because she is quick to jump on her high horse on any subject when she knows nothing. I mean really, she trys to live her life like characters off sex and the city, that says enough for me, no wonder she cant get a man!

Heya Roo,

Too right mate. Now she does nohting for me but irritate me ... might switch over to Nova :)

Taking it a bit further, its annoying to see teens becoming mothers. Just have a look at your major shopping centre during the day. 14 and 15yo mothers shopping and bludging, all paid for by the tax payer. Those who want kids can't have them or can't afford it (thanks for the rising costs) and those who are having kids sometimes hardly deserve them, raising them in poor conditions and with lack of care/discipline. And what about this 18yo who left her dead baby on a neighbours driveway? Now, granted, I do not know the full circumstances, so I'll withhold my opinion and not feed her to the wolves ... but on the face of it, how could you not know you're pregnant? The Court will decide, I'll stick to reading it in the papers.

I fear society today are not good parenting material. They'll bitch about "giving birth" and the hard life and still claim the world owes them something ... when it suits them, as it suits them. The baby bonus is no incentive at all for the middle income family to lose one job while having a family, but a great incentive for a teen student to drop out of school. But in the day when the Govt throws you free money for having babies at any age (even early teens) with the baby bonus and support pensions ... it shows the teens who don't want to be in school are actually smarter economists than the Goverment.

Here's a new approach for the Govt: Baby bonus only for those couples/single mothers over the age of 18, who can prove they had a job in the first place? How about increasing the baby bonus rate according to the % loss of income and age? Reward the tax payer, by giving them something back. Don't give free money to bludgers! Centrelink are aware of this ... my mother is a manager within Centrelink and they've been pushing this to the Govt for years. The Govt just hasn't fixed the problem.

Blah ... I'm expanding further on this and derailing the thread topic ...

;)

Amber Petty is narrow minded ... enuf said ;)

IMO it should be over 21. The baby bonus wont cover even half the initial costs of having a baby, but its the deadbeats who go on today tonight saying nah just want the cash, who need a swift kick in the teeth. WTF is society coming to?

I still like the TV ad where her dress is tucked into her undies :banana:

I mean, shes ok looking, i'd do this, would you? :bunny:

If I woke up, and her head was on my arm, just so I wouldn't wake her, I'd chew my own arm off...

Bet she used to work in a bakery. They pushed her face in the dough to make gorilla biscuits ;P

Child birth is a completely different pain to any injury, neither could be compared!

And I wholly agree!

Child birth is painful. Broken bones are painful. Groin injuries are painful. How do they weigh up against each other? They don't. Everyone is an individual to pain also. Those who have experienced excrutiating pain deserve to speak about it, but you still can't compare one to the other.

Those who have never broken their shoulder in 3 places could not understand the intense pain I went thru for 3 weeks and further discomfort pain for the next 2 months after. The same goes for child birth. Amber has no idea what she is crapping on about. :banana:

I agree. Lets break Amber Pettys shoulder in 3 different places!!!!!1one. She can work on the childbirth thing herself. Roflcopter.

I broke my shoulder in February this year and I put up with alot of pain for 3 solid weeks. I only got sleep when I was knocked out by the drugs. I was in pain for 3 weeks, not mere hours

oh man you're lucky you got drugs to cope with it! when i had a soccer injury, broke both my ankles and tore a ligament i was given no drugs! i didn't even get crutches or a wheel chair, i had to literally crawl to the doctors and at home, it was even a challenge to go take a piss! i was suppose to be fully recovered after 2 weeks if i didn't put any pressure on them but it couldn't be helped, i had to take a shit! so i was crawling on my knees for another 2 weeks! but when my sis hurt her ankle she got pain killers and crutches! :banana:

even though giving birth would be painful but isn't it worth baring it knowing you're bringing another life into the world? HARDEN THE FCUK UP!

Amber Petty isn't much better than that Milly girl who was doing the brekkie gig before her. SAFM are now full of ads, repeated music and repeated play lists day in, day out.

+1 for Nova.

Lol Nova is the same, they repeat all day, but at least its good music.

What do you expect to hear from a radio station whose target demographic is 20-30 year old women? As suggested switch to another station or listen to the CD/IPod/MP3.

As for the pain, Yes I am sure it can be painful BUT - over 50% of children are delivered via Caesarean, most/many women have an epidural even for natural births, so I guess there are only a handful (slight exaggeration) of women in Australia who could truly comment. The other fact is that women’s bodies were built to deliver children; it isn’t anything more than the body can cope with. Anatomically the Vagina has very few nerves which makes sense when you consider its function.

God bless the vagina! :(

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
