by the time you charge it would be the same money, but yeah get a LS and keep it N/A

or just sell the POS as is and move on

2 x 2nd had XR6 turbos at like 4 psi wouldn't cost a lot

what if i told you the niqab and burqa has no place in modern islam? :O

its even banned in syria

Alternately:

Found out my "blown head gasket" is actually a cracked block... 7000kms after the build.

$12,000 to fix like last time and 6 months+

Also stock neo, $2500-3k.

mmmmmmmm...

Time for a new hobby

Are you married? Have kids?

What does your wife think about this money pit?

Major cognitive dissonance for a lefty to witness a symbol of oppression banned as a civil liberty

Try fear mongering... I'm sure it's still legal to wear a motorbike helmet and carry a backpack...

Irrelevant snide comment = the final refuge of the defeated

I wouldn't go that far... the sarcasm = the relevance

You actually have to remove your helmet to enter a bank, petrol station etc, which takes a lot more effort than removing a burqa hood, so I don't see the issue with banning them.

Neither have been forced on people historically or in the present time as far as I know

Islam and religion in a broader sense is often a law unto itself, both statutory and socially (you have to respect someone's religion - why?), so I do smile whenever I see a country stand up and offer some form of restriction over any religious practices instead of bending over for it, no matter how harmless these practices may seem on the surface. It's a slippery slope what you allow and don't allow. Before you know it people who practice a religion have more civil liberties than those who don't, which has been the whole spark of the Flying Spaghetti Monster shit - a laughable satire that can't be fairly denied.

Having seen more than a few live leak videos that leftists are often blind to...Palestinian women concealing butcher knives in their hijabs and trying to stab random Israelis...there are some good reasons to fk off something that in most cases is a symbol of oppression from an ancient and outdated and irrelevant religion.

You really tryin to rustle hams jimmies.!

Lol @ easier... In some cases a burqa isn't even a separate head piece. Can be easier or harder but somehow I don't think that's in any way related or formed any of the decisioning process.

Again not even close to the issue. That's just you projecting your own views onto the situation.

They didn't ban them for women's rights

You realise that by saying "It's a slippery slope what you allow and don't allow" you are perfectly validating one of the major reasons people say it shouldn't be banned....

And as for hiding a knife in a hijab, that's an absolute nonsense reason... unless you also think we should ban trenchcoats, suit jackets, non skin tight jeans, backpacks, suitcases, sweaters etc etc etc.

There are 100 places to hide a knife on a person, none of which specificly require the clothing of any religion.

    • 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.
