Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

Eating at your desk is bad for your health, your moral and your productivity. Just sayin'

Also, a call for help to all my fellow whores! http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/431683-request-for-photos-and-video-from-ths-year/

Why?

Long story short not having a proper period of downtime at lunch increases stress significantly and doesn't give you a chance to recharge. As a result you are less likely to be as creative, as productive, as happy or as healthy in the long run and your work output and quality declines both in the short and long run.

There is a decent amount of scientific research in the area, I can dig some up for you when I'm not so swamped with other research assignments if you'd like. I used a chunk of research into the area when preparing a workshop last year on why stress management needs more attention in business. In terms of directly linked stress issues that can actually be measured, work related stress accounts for losses to developed economies of approximately 2.1-3.6% of GDP. Why add to that figure by not taking 30 minutes away from your desk to unwind at lunch?

If HR guys like me can save big chunks of money I'm all for it :) Stress related work absences cost the US Economy $300 BILLION a year.

I'd be willing to bet most of that stress comes from low wages and high expectations of employees...USA for ya.

Problem i have with the 30mins lunch break is if i drive to subway to get lunch, by the time i get back it's 28mins gone, takes, so naturally im eating at my desk anyway, and i wouldn't call those 28mins i spent driving to subway and waiting for food "relaxation".

But it certainly is nice to be uncontactable for 30mins at that time.

That would mean I have to socialize with other humans

I might have some footage from start of year boz

Unicorn washed. I am going to need to paint it in the next 12 months of I keep it. The white is falling off all over the place revealing the gun metal goodness below.

Custom gunmetal flecks? :P

Custom gunmetal flecks? :P

Pretty much. Who ever did it did a shit job. The gun metal is still all shiny.

Bought a reconditioned CAS from USA it arrived today :D

Went to work sick rather than having day off cause I wouldn't be resting at home.

Also A/C tensioner bearing turned up :D

Good stuff. ..CAS's are the devil!

    • 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. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
