I think Mcains arms are like that from a war injury, i had noticed it too thnkin the ol fella was startin to seize up or something, but then there was a doco on the two candidates and they showed images of a young Mcain on a medics bed with both arms plastered up at that angle.

I think that Obama will be a great peoples president, but only time will tell how he goes in relation to foreign policy.

Its sad that everyone is already talking assination on the sole basis that he is African American, its 2008 FFS!

Yeah, but we are talking about the "great" US....

I mean seriously, there were people saying that they don't trust him and that he will only look after his "own people".

When the reporter asked who his "own people" are, the ignorant b*tches said "terrorists" because Obama sounds like Osama... wow.

Also, I think that McCains issue is with his shoulders. While his arms are odd, looks to me like a rotator cuff issue (which would explain why he can't lift his hands much higher than his nose).

Hopefully America will get the change it needs!

I have a friend who lives in virginia and some cousins in new york, and they seem over the moon about Obama being elected.

Who knows maybe Bush can be the next big stand up comedian!

jeebus fellas, McCain was a POW in Vietnam for 5 years, and it wasn't exactly a stay at the hilton. He came back and could barely walk (not so noticable now) but obviously you guys have picked up on his arms. Parting gifts from the VC.

I closely followed the democratic primaries and very closely followed the presidential race. McCain is a hero, no doubt, and most likely would have been a decent president, but America and the world needed more than that. They needed someone like Obama to "inspire", to rally the country and also amend the alliances. Domestically McCain would probably have done ok, but the world is too small for that these days. America having elected someone who is so amazingly accepted worldwide can only be a huge step forward for everyone.

He was the only candidate to actual say that America has lost it's standing in the world, it has lost respect. I think that was ballsy as you could be treading a fine line even mentioning the fact that America might not actually be looked on favourably by the rest of the world, might seem somewhat un-patriotic. But he's dead right. How much do we slag off America in so many contexts? For a President to actually have a perception of how the world views America from the outside-in can only be a good thing.

If Obama can keep the fire burning, keep the energy high amongst the grassroots movement he created, I think we'll be all surprised about how quickly America can get back on track.

It's an incredibly hopeful time, and I'm very interested to see how things play out over the next 4 years.

yes and no, the 'inspirational' speeches have given him a huge mandate for his policy platform. He'll have the numbers in congress, and the favours owed to him by those who were able to ride his popularity into seats in the house of reps and senate. So in theory, he "should" be able to get a lot done, and be perceived as a 'great' leader as he will be executing the will of the people.

It takes more than some 'inspirational' speeches (which would probably be written by other people) to be a good leader...

Well then hes already a head of bush who was so mentally retarded he couldnt even read his...

Its nice to see someone who can actually carry themselves in a conversation and or public questioning (if you watched any) without looking like a tard, stumbling, making stupid noises and making up words. Thats generally a good start to being one.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?

      See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?

      The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.

      And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
