Random Fact #238 - Used, dirty radiator coolant tastes really sweet and doesnt burn your eyes

In reference to the above....

Random Fact #333 - Drinking too much coolant causes Glycol poisoning which is fatal. The only known cure for this is to get absolutely hammered on good schnapps. The components of schnapps turns the glycol poision in your kidneys into a harmless substance that you are likely to splash your shoes with :D ##

##Disclaimer - I do not recommend or endorse trying this out, but it is true.....apparently :D

I don't think you can say you are a true car enthusiast until you've managed at least one mouthful of coolant..

Though I highly recommend avoiding this situation

And I really don't recommend accidentally swallowing it too.. :D

Fact 66666: One mouthful of coolant won't kill you, but you definately won't feel well for a while.. :D

No1 ever taste coolant; was an incident in panama a while ago where diethylene glycol was added to cough medicine by accident and alot of people died + many still suffering.

yep its bad shit, my dog got very sick one night and I thought she had drunk coolant...rushed to the vets for testing if she did they said there was no way to save her, thankfully she had not...

    • Hey, I understand this is a skyline forum but I was hoping someone might be able to help me out here. Got an ‘84 M10 Prairie with an E15S that I’m trying to get running again after replacing a head gasket. I’m having some struggles with vacuum lines after replacing a couple perished ones. They’re all set up like in the diagram I’ve attached. I’ve tried starting the motor and my carb backfires a bit but no luck getting it to run.      Theres a 2nd port on the back of the carb that isn’t mentioned in the diagrams, right next to what I believe would be the idle screw (sorry I’m no good with carbs) - should this be attached to any lines?   any help would be greatly appreciated, I’m sick of pulling my hair out trying to figure this thing out 🤝🏼
    • If the current relationship is between the diff and the speedo, then no, you will not need a speed sensor in that hole in the gearbox. If the car were an R33 GTST, or an R34 GT-T, then it would need a speed sensor in there. Because that's what those cars have/need. If the car were an R32, then it will need a cable drive cobbled together from a Navara speedo drive, because R32s can't handle an electronic speed signal to the speedo.
    • Just to follow up on this.  Will the speedo work with this? Like to have plugged speed sensor on this trans and still using one on diff from N/A (open) diff?
    • The opposite experiment is equally viable. 10L of petrol in the tank + 2L of metho.
