They are bloody crazy...

There's a forum I was looking at once, can't remember which one. They had a thread titled "Home protection" and these guys were absolute nutcases... The majority of them had MULTIPLE guns, and not just pistols, fully automatic guns like AK47's, MP5's etc, etc. They would have about 12 guns loaded and hidden throughout the house, and another 45 locked up in the gun closet. Absolute madness.

I would LOVE to see a shootout during a home invasion in which a stupid redneck that thinks he's ready gets to utilise his artillery. How the HELL could they seriously think that they'd have the opportunity to run through the house using up all the ammunition in all of the guns they have lying around is beyond me. They seriously must think they are some fictional war hero. If it came down to it, the one gun would be all that's necessary, because they'd either take out the person invading their place, or get taken out themselves. It's like they are living in a movie.

The majority also slept with their pistols under their pillows... Idiots.

In Australia, only bad people have guns, in America, everyone has guns.

It's legal where they are from, I don't see a problem with not living in a bubble wrapped society, America's so called gun problems do not stem from the possession of the weapons themselves, see Australia Circa before gun reform after port arthur.

gotta be strapped dawg or youz ain't ballin

Lol if I was being pounded 24/7 by their awesome media propaganda machine I'd believe men with beards are coming to get me too.... and this only a couple decades after getting over the commies were coming to get me

I am loving the retail bargains at a buck ten though so keep borrowing that 540k per minute to keep the war machine going and the public in a constant state of fear

lobbyists in the US are going after their rights to bare arms state by state (which was originally included so the public could overpower an oppressive government) so it's only a matter of time before they ain't packing no more

The US is an entirely different culture and in some ways this is normal for them. Different strokes etc.

I've been shooting with one of the guys in that thread and in no way is he insane or even out of the ordinary. Just a GT-R lover living in a gun loving society.

Just because it's 'normal' there - doesn't make it right. Reading that thread (and othes like it, you should see some of the f**ked up weapons some of those guys have) you just know most of them are living out some childhood fantasies owning some of those weapons. It's just ridiculous. I wouldn't post this on the US forum, they mostly ignore non-US people as it is, they would have a fit if anyone tried to comment on their gun laws. Just look at their homicide rate per head of population, it's up their with some seriously screwed up countries.

It would be interesting to see the the Homicide rate per head population in Australia, pre gun law and post and compare this with the united states.

Not sure it's all about guns and gun ownership.. it's probably more a long term cultural condition.

You do the right thing LSX-438, pack all that firepower under the 'hood'

Imagine if one of their little kids or a neighbours kid or something got in a GTR with a loaded pistol floating around in it. Something we cant really comprehend over here...thank god :cheers:

Gun laws come in, death by guns go down and death by knifes go up. True genius really.

different culture.. thats pretty much all I will say. when I lived in Texas you had a right to bear arms , a right to carry (with licence) and a right to shoot if you were in your own home and in danger of being shot. (self defence in other words)

there are some that go overboard a bit but when you walk into a shop and think about knocking the till over you tend to think twice when there is a 9mm glock pointing back at you.

guns require common sense. you put the things well out of the way from young hands and usually leave them empty with a clip out of reach from small hands.

I had a 9mm glock and at one point a 410 remington rifle. the glock was kept at home hidden but I could get at it fairly quickly if I had to. the rifle I had as a kid when I lived on a farm.

the other thing to remember about guns and the USA - you are TAUGHT to shoot one in yr 7 at school in country areas. I was. handling a 12 ga shotgun was a misson at that age but I learnt how to use one.

I like to own one of those semi/auto shotguns (Saiga-12 or AA12) with the 20 round drums.

glock with a modified clip . there were a few nice pieces shown there as well.

I remember the guns at the Ferny Hills K-mart in Brisbane. This was about 20 years ago, 22 or 23 years at the most.

America's homicide problems isn't just to do with guns. It's the high crime rate in general most likely due to conflicts arising from the large economic divide between upper-middle class and poor.

Very typical to have high crime rates in countries with large socio-economic divides. You can also find a significant correlation between areas within countries.

The higher crime rate due to this social divide may actually be the reason people feel they need guns. So a catch-22.

Compare with the larger social nets and taxes of UK, Australia to dampen the social divide.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
