er, interesting stuff warpspeed.. but you're definitely right about the automobile sector. Its no longer the cashcow that it once was and there has been massive correction and coppitulation over the last decade. Then again, apparently this year was also one of the biggest years for new car registrations ever in Australia, which tends to go against this trend?

i kinda believed that myself a few years ago, when signs were there, but just when i thought 'ok, shit=fan time' and behold it has picked itself up again after a big dip and correction after the dot.com era of the later 90's, and the rollcoaster is back on its path. Its all self supporting though, one debt is used to pay off another debt somewhere else, somewhere else in the world. So while everybody is in debt, everybody else owes everybody else money to the same value. Its been that way for ever.

So is your message: we should all buy GTR and not worry about investment all all? :rolleyes:

No, my instincts right now tell me to remain totally debt free, and not sink money into non performing assets.

A GTR is definitely a non performing asset. It might perform on the street, but is not going to make you money over the next few years.

If we do sink into the worst depression in history, the secret is to be cashed up and then buy assets for cents in the dollar right at the lowest point, in maybe three to five years after the initial crash. Some of the now wealthiest families in the world did exactly that last time around. It will be the complete end of the middle class everywhere.

In America companies that made wonderful high performance cars went broke, Cord, Packard, Lincon, just to name three. The survivors Ford, GM, and Chrysler built cheap crap cars for the masses. If Nissan stays in business, they will probably be making de-optioned Pulsars, available in three colours only.

that bloody euro #*%& bringing his "guidence" or what ever. #*%&!!!!. Bring back the guys (and girls) who designed the R32, R33, etc... none of this futuristic SH!T!!!!

PS: Haven't researched as to who designed the earlier Skylines, could have well been another european. Just venting my frustration as to the way all the designs of the new cars are going=>furturistic...talk about crap! IMHO

Warpspeed i have seen ur 'doomsday' posts pop up quite a few threads now, not having a go, but u do slip them in there whenever the opportunity presents itself :P Good to have alternative view points.

Can't say i share ur view on upcoming world events. PC's are DEFINITELY not in a boom period, they are in a very laggy, shit period, not going too good. Internet is def branching out as everyone is eventually getting connected, but you can't say that any tech area is in boom... well web biotech, etc.

I thought in Japan they wrote off all the highly over inflated property prices etc?? I thought that the new prime minister had something to do with it... I think i remember talking about it in yr 12 eco 2 years ago.

Australia has been doing good over last few years, actually has been doing good for quite while. I don't really see where this world wide cataclismic economic crash is coming from??

cheers.

oh yeah, Carlos go back to wherever the f*ck u came from. Head designer of the 32, 33, 34 GTR's should be the CEO of Nissan damn it!!! :P

we had a market crash well massive "bear run", "correction" what ever you want to call it and now are pulling out of it definantly in the up cylce. the thing about crashes is: a) is everything overvalued? no B) securities are halted trading if they fall too low c) there is still to many resources being utilised and companies laying off staff to stay profitable.

By the way, anyone know who owns Nissan? Yep, Renault has a majority stake in them. Those "Bloody Euros" saved Nissan's arse BIG TIME

I take it you don`t mind the direction Nissan is heading in then Sonic?

I for one am not against Renault saving Nissan, in fact I support Renault... they (before you guys were born) practically introduced the turbocharger to F1 in the late seventies.

But the fact of the matter is, Nissan is going soft, on account of Carlos Ghosn telling the Japanese management at Nissan how to design and market cars. Ghosn + Nissan = Crap product.

Don't you think that by making the new R35 a 'world car' that it will lost a lot of the status that the current R32's, 33's and 34's have? I mean, if they are released all around the world they lose some of that 'exclusitivity' and IMO that takes away from the car as a whole. Maybe it's just me, but still regardless of that, the R35 as a whole just doesn't appeal to me... the R32's-34's all built on each others designs whereas the new one just seems like a completely new design sharing only the taillights...

Thats *V35* dude...;)

But yeah, I have exactly the same opinion as you p1r4t8r, the Carlos Ghosn produced V35 is a Skyline in name only, and yeah, by having a so-called "world car", the exclusivity is lost from the Skyline name.

This whole "World Nissan" idea (reality?) from Ghosn has destroyed everything that made Nissan great in the first place.

It doesn`t matter if more Yanks are going to buy a V8 GT-R than a V6 Turbo one, thats just BS to think that the new GT-R is being stripped of it`s identity in order to appease a few Yanks who don`t even know what a GT-R is...

^^^^THATS what happens when a fookin` beancounter is CEO of a car company.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.

      Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
