Loach check the Japan news tonight..

Levels now are now 10,000,000 times above normal operating levels in number 2 reactor...

Radioactivity in the air in No. 2 measured at 1,000 millisieverts per hour - four times higher than the occupational limit of 250 millisieverts set by the government.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano, said the radioactive water is “almost certainly” seeping from a reactor core.

Adding to woes is the increasing level of contamination in the sea near the plant. Radioactive iodine-131 at a concentration 1,850 times the legal limit was detected from water extracted Saturday, compared with the 1,250.8 times the limit found Friday.

No, no problems at all...

And the classic statement yesterday was people were told not to worry about the levels in the sea water as they will impose a 20-30km ban on fishing and plus the government said they dont really source much fish for consumption from that area.

Jeez I'm glad the sea life that gets contaminated will stay in that area and not migrate to other areas let alone other countries...I mean how stupid can they be...

I shouldnt really have to ask that question as already know well and truly the muppett mentality.

Yep its not good at all Terry.

Prime Minister Kan has issued a maximum alert regarding the nuclear disaster..only took a couple of weeks..

I'm in Korea at the moment and Seoul and 5 other places around Korea have all had higher than normal radiation readings found today.

Personally I think its North Korea letting a bit go so they can blame the Japanese.

But in all seriousness the way the Japanese government and TEPCO have handled the situation is atrocious.

I just wish the Japanese had more common sense and realise they are being duped and its their health and well being at risk.

Now lets see how they will solve this..

No amount of foresight would have been able to foresee that a 9.0 would have hit, and nuclear is still a viable power source in my opinion.

I wish Japan all the best.

TEPCO president has been hospitalised due to dizziness and high blood pressure due to worrying about f*kushima.

TEPCO made a press statement saying they are considering putting the reactors in a Sarcophagus like Chernobyl due to it being "presently unclear how the problems at the plant would be resolved".

By the way great link paulR32gtr. Good to see that reactors are being improved. Thanks.

I agree that nuclear power is still a viable option for countries like Japan, especially considering emissions targets. However it is Japan and the government knows that there will be huge earthquakes. They know there is a huge earthquake due in Tokyo in the near future. Therefore Japanese nuclear power plants need to have an INDEPENDENTLY sanctioned and enforced building standard which allows safe operation/shutdown of nuclear power plants in the event of massive earthquakes. Just as any other country should have an INDEPENDENTLY sanctioned and enforced building standard for the problems they know they will encounter when using a power source which has the potential to cause harm not only to the people of the operating nation but in other countries as well. Many Japanese government officials have left the government in the past and taken up positions in TEPCO. In my opinion that is a symptom that the Japanese power industry is not independently regulated. There are other symptoms too as elrodeo666 has indicated.

I think we can say these facilities weren't exactly on the cutting edge of asset management.

even minuscule probabilities such as the ones that caused this sort of outcome should have been addressed after a proper risk assesment.

Cant believe there dumping hazardous waste into the ocean now..... Japan over its entire history is gonna be one radioactive island by the end of all this...

> then Northern hemisphere over air, land (and sea) cop the knock-on effect

So this disaster is now rated "7" equal to Chernobyl :/

Are there contingency plans for the area yet, or even some hypotheses on how to relocate residential areas?

yeh thats terrible

feel so sorry for all those living within 100kms of the reactors

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By djr81 · Posted

      Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
