Macron v Le Pen

This should be an interesting indication as to whether the world is gravitating towards a sharply nationalist agenda or simply rejecting the political status quo.... Particularity given the recent attacks in France

well that's essentially the first part of my point, refer "gravitating towards a sharply nationalist agenda"

Considering this is a country that's had it's fair share of terror related incidents in the last year or so, it would stand to reason that nationalism could be viewed in a more positive light by those directly or indirectly affected.  

I don't think you have to be nationalist to fear the ramifications of open border immigration from war-torn countries, even if that is traditionally a trait of nationalism; Le Pen like our Hanson could be seen as the lesser of two evils..."I don't like xenophobes and racists, but terrorists are much worse"

so speaking to someone i know who is a JP at Springvale police station... older Vietnamese man comes in and says his car has been stolen. apparently was in a minor accident, guy who he hit (not sure who was at fault) said they had no insurance but will take the car to a panel beater and get it repaired. So the man handed over his keys and the guy drove off in it never to be seen again.

It's easy to get on the *facepalm* train with this one, but man, I felt really sorry for the dude. Super friendly old man, who isnt used to dealing with the scum we come across and witness every day, and he gets reamed thinking someone was doing something out of kindness. f**k this gay earth. and the dude is probably too honest to lie about the situation to the insurance company.

f**king swindling scumbags.

fine... make it "gravitate towards political parties that use nationalism as a core theme of their political rhetoric"

But then he gets to keep the thief's car...sounds like a fair trade to me.

I like how Dell can mark-up their laptops by $1000 just because theyre in the "business" section of the website. I can seriously buy an Asus or Gigabyte laptop with better specs in every department, or a "home" Dell with the same spec for half the price. But it would be an "Inspiron" then not a "Latitude" model. bah Latitude has been using the same architecture for like 10 years.

After only 680 pages? Rookie mistake, last thread was > 2000 pages

To be fair, last thread had real estate, unions and Captain Will as topics

Think Rimon may have even been in there

Business laptops have additional features such as docking capabilities etc. (nohomo)

Just quietly...if you came into my interview with an Inspiron I wouldn't hire you no matter the specs...

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • 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
