yeah I agree, how about not, I'm getting sick of this debate every 2 days.

legalise gay marriage, and everyone who doesn't like it GET THE F**K OVER IT.

Madaz, I have alot of respect for you, but as Dohmar said, thats your humble opinion.

Apparently a great many people do. Also, that is easily the most inelegant pro gay thing I've heard.

I thought you'd be a little more progressive than that Steve, regardless of religious concerns.

Straight couples have had hundreds of years to make a mess out of the right to be married, let's let someone else have a crack.

And I'll just leave this here;

yes just putting my humble opinion out there like everyone else does

i know a lot of people don't agree with it BUT remember there are "normal" people out there that don't want gay marriage either

anyways didn't want to start up the Kuwaiti oil fires again, i know how you all feel and you know how i feel

People need to remember that the is THE WASTELAND. Short of personally attacking or vilifying anyone, people can do and say in here what they like. People whinging about the amount of religiious or sexual orientation discussions need to remember that 1. there are a handful of posts on both subjects in 84 pages of Wasteland discussion, and 2. no-one is trying to make anyone else do or believe anything - people just put forward their beliefs on subjects - it is not like Madaz or I have EVER asked or tried to influence anyone to go to Church (despite in strict theory we are both SUPPOSED to try to do that), and Jenna is not asking anyone to march in a Gay Pride march .... far from it - we are all just expressing our opinions.

Just remember to play nice poeple - respect each other, as we are all entitled to our own opinions. We don't have to like others beliefs and opinions, but take everything with a grain of salt and some cement too in many cases.

And if you don't like The Wasteland, unsubscribe and DON'T COME IN HERE AND READ IT - no-one is forcing you to. Seriously, if it upsets you that much, delete your SAU account altogether and don't come back.

And yes, I am a craky pants this morning. God help anyone that posts up a for sale ad in the General Section :D

It goes past religion (has nothing to do with it IMO) and comes down to a human beings rights.

The right to LOVE and be loved, unconditionly.

No rules, just pure love.... and what is more special than that ??

+1 to Dohmar's post

I love tits 'n slits, but realizing that not everyone is born this way, I believe with all my soul that every adult deserves to give/receive unconditional 'adult' love, no matter what the gender. Just like every child deserves unconditional 'parental' love, no matter what the circumstances.

It doesnt always work out that way, and the sooner WE as a society work towards a more loving environment, everything in this world will be the better for it.

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
