Subtle dig at my intelligence which I've no doubt exceeds yours anyway. Because someone doesn't agree with you lefty doesn't make them inferior.

But hey maybe when you graduate to the real world you'll get it.

Hope you and your family ain't caught in the crossfire one day

Btw shows your level of intelligence you can't prove a point so 'oh wel your racist & stupid vote1 greens'

You really need to get over yourself dude. Seriously

Here's a list of what not to do in Dubai:

Drinking: Drinking or being drunk in public is not tolerated and the legal drinking age is 21. you should only drink in a hotel.

no big issue with this or in a private home...

Public displays of affection: Holding hands, kissing or gets cosy with your other half could lead to arrest and imprisonment.

shit did not not realised I got arrested

Sex outside marriage: Sex between those who are not married is illegal and can lead to severe criminal sanctions.

turned up with katie, different names on passport..they did not care.

Homosexuality: Homosexual acts are illegal and subject to severe punishment.

so like tasmania till a few years ago...and that stopped what?

Swearing: Swearing and making rude gestures, such as the middle finger, are criminal acts in the UAE.

so common decency

Swimwear: Wearing bathers outside the beach is against Dubai's decent laws and swimsuits in general should be modest. Nudity at beaches is illegal.

how is this an issue?

Smoking: Lighting up in a shopping mall, government building or shop can result in a fine.

there is shisa bars in every mall?????

Clothing: Woman's clothing may be considered indecent if it is tight, transparent, above the knee or shows her stomach, shoulders or back. Men should wear T-shirts at all times and short shorts can attract the wrong kind of attention.

hahaha go one day

Conversation: It is illegal to "harass" women - this includes unwanted conversation and prolonged stares or eye contact.

so respecting women.

Photos: Taking photographs of people, particularly women, without permission is illegal and can lead to arrest or fines.

who was that due from NSW? Patric hamilton, shows there should be a way to stop some of this

Ramadan: During Ramadan, it is illegal for non-Muslims to eat, drink or smoke in public in front of Muslims between sunrise and sunset.

sorry was in kuwait then...was at the pool trying not to notice the chick in bikinis

Medicines: Many medications available over the counter or by prescription in Australia are illegal in the Dubai.

Drugs: The UAE laws on drugs are extremely strict, and include the death penalty or life in jail

sounds good to me.

A string of British tourists have been jailed for offences such as a peck on the cheek, been caught in a compromising position on the beach and for engaging in sex outside marriage.

have you seen british tourists on holiday?

A 30-year-old British woman and a 28-year-old Irish man were jailed after a long legal battle for having sex in a taxi, though DNA tests proved intercourse had not taken place. In 2010 a Be timeritish couple were jailed for a month for kissing in a restaurant.

so the ppl f**king on the beach in public and kids were around (sorry read the full story at the time)...yeah no issues there.

Dat acceptance

so a list of what was illegal in states in AU till recently.

and some that should be.

so most of these are laws in SE asia..which most tourists from AU ignore as well.

shit other than the grog it much worse in russia!

So I know I can only talk from experience of being there not just read out cry on the web.

but yeah, yes there some things that are different, not all of them bad not all good.

way too many USA restaurant chains there cannot get a good meal being the main one.

I read all this prior to going and expected things to be much stricter

but till you really spend time there yeah it just rumours.

same as going to bangladesh, muslim country, grog is illegal, unless you don't identify as muslim then you can buy it no worries.

(could only get one free beer in the airport lounge tho that was a harsh thing)

indonesia is another muslim country...yeah hard to get a beer or a stripper in bali..

the more you travel the more you might be surprised how accepting other people are.

(other than italians and food so not accepting..)

In your mind you made solid points. In reality you were describing yourself.

Lol yeah keep telling yourself that the PC crowd has howled everyone down for a long time but you watch the tide is turning big time

Your referencing highly tourist areas which are select examples plenty of more hardline places so the point still stands. The west has been substantially more accommodating and accepting

it's hard to argue a fair point why they should be allowed isn't it?

I mean we all no the Middle East / Arabic countries aren't accepting of western ways but the west is supposed to embrace everything they want?

double standards much?

Fallacious argument. Would you also be opposed to people dressing as say...goths, or clowns?

Is there an Australian way to dress? Or 'not dress' rather? Do you see where I'm going with this?

The home grown terrorism in France is linked to a few factors, including, but not limited to:

- Large ('legal') Muslim population that has been isolated and discriminated against.

- Aforementioned population largely of low socio-economic status.

- Capitilisation by Wahabi/Salafi organisations, particularly so when it comes to disgruntled, unemployed, isolated youth.

As you can see, the issue is multli-faceted, It is pretty absurd to imply that immigration itself is the issue, it shows that you have an exceedingly superficial understanding of why home grown terrorism occurs.

Never solely blamed immigration how ever it plays a very large role as your own point references the large Muslim populations in a non Muslim country.

As for dress codes it's a matter of opinion I don't think people should dress as clowns though anything that makes someone unrecognizable is not necessary and oppressive tell me next time you can walk around covered head to toe only showing your eyes and it not be an issue.

As the saying goes not every Muslim is a terrorist but the majority of terrorists are Muslim.

Can't paint everyone with the same brush but it's becoming a far too common story and sympathy is running thin.

I'm yet to see many examples of recent terrorism linked to poverty or socio economic issues perhaps some of the people who have gone to Syria or what not to fight but undoubtedly you'll find these people turned up in Paris to cause harm not because they couldn't get a job or afford food.

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
