I agree that celebrity deaths are over-celebrated and randoms who don't know them personally take it to heart way too much...but when death is shoved in our face like that by the media, it will tweak the human emotions. It's easy to think that people only care about celebrities and not randoms dying of the same illnesses, but it's not the case...it's just that, how are you supposed to know of the randoms dying...go to hospitals and mourn with their families? In contrast we watch TV and read the newspaper everyday, so anything in there is going to get more thought from us.

For me, Jim being the president and savior of my football club, also a personal inspiration to me...seriously 244 consecutive games, each and every week...his death does matter more to me than the average celebrity. In any case this is one person whose life should be celebrated by everyone, not because he should be missed more than your average cancer victim, but he was a figure in the public spotlight who did some really good things. And in such a f**ked up world, it is important for people in the public spotlight to be seen doing things like he did - it restores a bit of faith in humanity for everyone who sees it, it encourages people to be better when they see this kind of legacy and mourning left behind by a good spirit.

No different to how x celebrity is considered hotter just coz he/she is a celebrity

Yer I agree with this, there are hotter girls at Crown than any celebrity in Hollywood...it just comes back to who we are all exposed to...you can't talk to someone about how hot a girl at Crown was but you can google pictures of a celebrity and show them, chances are they'll already know who you're talking about though.

I see you are enjoying the GTR!

ahah absolutely love it!

just want to start with the mods already also considering a freshen up on the paint >,< but that will take a while to save the $$ for that

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
