Hey Terry its 70% chance and they had 6.2 around 11am Japan time this morning.

Doubt there will ever big a big one in or around Hokkaido as its on the outer edge of the fault line.

Reactor 3 has gone boom and now measuring radiation fallout and anyone thats in the 20km zone has been told to stay indoors.

Honestly knowing the bullshit the Japanese authorities feed the general public I wouldnt be surprised if its a lot worse than they are saying.

Japan has a motto of what you dont know does not hurt you.

They did that with the '95 Kobe one didn't they?

I wonder if they do get more smaller fractures less than 6.5, that there'll be less chance of the odd larger one.

Yep they lied through their teeth on that one and kept everyone in the dark and were useless with getting help to people and refused foreign aid.

It was actually the Yakuza who opened their doors, helped out with food and water and supplies immediately after the earthquake.

Even yesterday there were Japanese politicians denying there had been a possible meltdown whereas the government spokesman Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano had said in all probability there had been a meltdown.

Thing is, in both sides of the government their is a very pro nuclear faction...it makes money and if the shit hits the fan the Japanese people will not want anymore reactors.

The other thing is the f*kushima power station was 40 years old and was due to be decommissioned.

And latest on the f*kushima plant that according to the government isnt anything to worry about...

Now number 2 reactor cooling isnt working and hydrogen gas is being produced.

They are expecting the possibility of this one exploding as well.

Isn't the F-ukushima Daichi #1 much older than the other 3?

And is it true that #3 which has been of risk in the last 18hrs, much more potentially devastating becuase of using 5/6 plutonium to 1/6 uranium?

Shinmoedake volcano which is still on the Pacific Plate rim, but to the s-W on Kyushu is demonstrating built up pressure from being in a subduction zone right?

Perhaps Mts Aso and Kagoshima are more active down there too?

Shinmoedake volcano is blowing its stack again.

Its been going off and on for the last couple of months but shows that theres something definitely going on.

Dai ichi #1 reactor I'm pretty sure was built by general electric and the others by the Japanese.

Yep #3 has the more potent combo of plutonium & uranium. #2 I dont know but I think its the same as #3.

Thing is the whole place is pretty old and has had accidents which has been swept under the carpet.

The only good thing is the casing structure layers are extremely good but after massive explosions like they had today, hoe the hell are they getting close enough to examine them properly.

So much for this not being worse than Kobe, looks like it will end up having caused a much greater loss of life.

A friend who lives in Tokyo sent me an email about what is happening now:

"However, you will be surprised at grocery store in Tokyo. There are not bottle of water, milk, toilet paper, and some frozen food. I talked to a clerk, and he said he does not have food delivery to the store since the earthquake. A lot of food are coming from north east area in Tokyo.We also have blackouts because of power plants including nuclear plants were damaged. Fortunately I could go to the office today, but most of colleagues were absent. Many trains stopped. My company recommends working at home. I had very bad rush hour because of poor train schedule."

Oh these poor people,no water no food,no where to stay and freezing weather,i really feel for them. :(:(

Yes, Sendai temp is -2 today and -3 tomorrow. ^ ^ ^

The 1st month of spring is always more like winter :/

Fuel rods are exposed now on what 3 reactors? > Temp? > H2 build up? > Seawater feedpipes need repairing?

I'm concerned about meltdown on #2 & #3 more so than #1. But then Chernobyl was an old reactor too.

Nissan, Honda and even Toyota (further away near Nagoya) have suspended wk.

After Kobe '95, the NIKKEI dropped about 25% over 6 months, but the following year it went up again by 52% via rebuilding.

Besides Mt Shinmoedake, is there any increased thermal activity around Noboribetsu to the north; or Hakone west of Tokyo?

Sorry, I'm all over the place in this post.

The notorious Chernobyl-4 RBMK1000 reactor was an inherently stable and relatively safe design except during startup and shutdown, and it only blew up because the operators did unimaginably stupid things...

"The probability of this occurring is hard to calculate primarily because of the possibility of what are called common-cause accidents, where the loss of offsite power and of onsite power are caused by the same thing. In this case, it was the earthquake and tsunami. So we're in uncharted territory, we're in a land where probability says we shouldn't be. And we're hoping that all of the barriers to release of radioactivity will not fail."

50 workers at the F-ukushima Daiichi plant have been evacuated from the site.

This is a precautionary measure due to the fact that 100s of millisieverts are being emitted into the air per hour.

No residents are to be with a 30km radius of the plant.

Now why am I thinking that the remaining workers are sacrificing their lives for the greater good???????????????????????????????????????

mum in law who is 8kms from volcano has said its been thumping away lately but people arent talking as much about it now as everyone else is so much worse off. i still would be shitting bricks having that thing in the back yard

Well what would you propose? Everyone abandon the site from the get go and let it go into uncontrollable meltdown?

The french now want any/all of their citizens to leave Japan or at least head to south Japan. Seeing how they derive 78.8% of their power from atomic energy i would be inclined to listen to them.

I think you may have misread the ambiguity of my last Q.

I was actually being complimentary of their dedication and courage. :thumbsup:

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
