was just wondering why society frowns upon the devotion of real anorexics, and in saying that I mean the ones with suficcient devotion to starve themselves thin, and yet society proclaims ad good and just the same sort of madness that it takes to be brilliant and churn out straight sevens at university. Was at a graduation ceremony for honours a while ago and the dux of the class had a gpa of 7 which means she didn't get anything but 7's for the whole degree.

In this day and age of obecity I think we should champion Anorexics with the devotion to stick with it, and frown upon the obece that lack the self discipline to get with the program.

thoughts chris.

Who says that the obese are no less driven than an anorexic?

I would assume that the same disorder that requires/allows you to absolutely destroy yourself would be applicable to a morbidly obese person too.

I don't think that your avaerage person is capable of the dedication that it would take to be corpulent to the same reverse degree.

Any excessiveness is frowned upon by society for good reason, whether it is anorexia, obesity, workaholism, greed, etc, etc.

Different sides of the same coin.

This person who had a high GPA across the board, is there any moderation in this persons life or did they devote everything they had to atttaining those marks?

Sure good marks would indicate a successful future, but against what measure? High paying job but no life outside that job (i.e die alone but rich).

Moderation is the key, but it is so easy to lose sight of.

1. The obece are not driven. Often obecity comes out of a sedentary lifestyle and lazyness more than anythine else. Also the undereducated are far more likely to be obece than the well educated and more fortunate. It tends to be a dizease of the lower calsses and the less socioeconomically endowed groups of society but times they are a changing and that no longer rings true.

2. Thus these people are the ones with devotion. We should really take them around to schools as motivational speakers

3. excessiveness in terms of finding a solution to a problem or artwork tends to be champpioned. Many of the great artists and poets of the world were mentally unwell and yet we appreciate their work.

yes granted everything has a price.

I think another point is how society can turn a blind eye to its set of double standards and the question of how our value system became so skewed. Once again we are brought back to the question of intent and the idea of doing all the right things for all the wrong reasons.

don't know if you'll read this but thanks for the effort in your response.

      V37 Suspension change

      By Duncan · Posted

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before

      V37 Suspension change

      OK, so a bunch of trim needs to come off to get to the rear shock top mounts. Once the seat is out of the way, the plastic trim needs to come off. Remove 2 clips at the top then slide the trim towards the centre of the car to clear the lower clip Next you need to be able to lift the parcel shelf, which means you need to remove the mid dark trim around the door, and then the upper light trim above the parcel shelf. The mid trim has a clip in the middle to remove first, then lift the lowest trim off the top of the mid trim (unclips). At the top there is a hidden clip on the inner side to release first by pulling inwards, then the main clip releases by pulling the top towards the front of the car. The door seal comes off with the trim, just put them aside. The the lighter upper trim, this is easy to break to top clips so take it carefully. There is a hidden clip towards the bottom and another in the middle to release first by pulling inwards. Once they are out, there are 3 clips along the rear windscreen side of the panel that are hard to get under. This is what the rear of the panel looks like to assist:

      R34 manual conversion speed signal wire finding, need help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. Autos typically work from the speed sensor on the pinion shaft of the diff. I also think that even if you have a proper speed sensor for the bog manual in the manual box, that the signal it outputs is not compatible with the auto dash anyway. You should consult that manual (the book, not the gearbox).

      And I just realised that that advice is slightly nonsensical for a GTR, because you need 2 of them. But it is otherwise true.

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

      By Duncan · Posted

      Having had a reasonable look at the car, I'll be able to remove the (one time) rams and retract the hinge (they are held in the down location by a tiny (m3?) sacrificial screw) which will get it physically back in shape. From there if you remove the rams you need a resistor to turn off the airbag light (as Mark said, there are plug in kits and I might go that way because its reversible). And...per all the threads on here, even if you have the resistors to turn off the airbag light, the bonnet light will stay on as it writes to the airbag computer history - that is either replace the airbag controller, reprogam the EPROM (if I can work out how), or remove the globe from the dash. Having seen how sensitive this system is, if I had my time over I'd pre-emptively remove the rams, even on a road car, because this is all a very unnecessary pain in the arse. Reminds me, time to go and have a look at the Fuga too....
