Put our wiper war differneces aside for a moment but I need your help guys...

I am required to choose 30 credit points worth of 'any' subject in the entire uni this semester to complete my 2nd year requirement, and basically I have no idea where to start so if any of you guys could suggest a few subjects at 2nd year level 2nd semester that are either really damn easy, full of chics, or just interesting enough to keep me awake I would appreciate it.

too easy...

EST21ECC no final exam, 3 essays and 1 class per week that 2 hours long. That's it.

I'm doin MKT22MPP this semester, marketing subject, again a no brainer. But it has exams n shit.

I have a whole heap of CBF subjects all second yr as well coz I have 2nd yr electives to do... We should meet up and scour the course guide books.

Nursing/behavioural science is always full of chicks :rolleyes: or basically any subject that is held in the George Singer Building.

A mate last semester was in the same situation and did some arts subject (I'll find out the code) that required 1 2hr lecture and 1 2000 word essay. Also, the penalty for handing in late is 2% per day!! You could hand it in almost a month late and still pass... Its just not right... No wonder an Arts degree will only qualify people for the dole.

I got credit for COM, :) even better

I'll have a look into MPP Shan, right now im looking at HIS22NGE "Nazi Germany and the Invasion of Europe" haha sounds like fun. It got an exam though, but only 20% man I can't get over how some of these subjects can be worth 20points compared to the hard as CSE stuff thats only 10!

Do they have a 'Life Drawing' subject here? you know the one i mean, haha :D

I started in '99 so not all of the subjects are the same now. I haven't done ODE - have done all of the other electives listed though. CSS is a new subject on me, I think MAL would probably be the equivalent that I did.

I found AI quite interesting. Its basically lisp programming which is completely different from most other languages -- i think they actually use 'scheme'. Its really cool actually but most people at the time didn't like it :)

Some examples here if your curious: http://grimpeur.tamu.edu/~colin/lp/

EDIT: MAL was a bit of a ball breaker if you haven't done assembly before.. :D

Oh and I am CompSci too.. started off doing CSE in the beginning but the 3hr electronic labs were too much like torture to me :)

AI was a piece of piss.

MAL is a dirty, dirty 2c smack whore. God I hated MAL!

ODE is pretty easy. All you have to remember is that its not a programming subject, its a software development subject. When doing the assignment, heaps of people put together some awesome programs but still failed coz they left out the design side. Designing software on paper is easy coz its really just a measure of common sense.

AI was mad because I already knew how to program in Haskell, so that made functional programming dead easy.

Today I went to my first Film Appreciation class, where we watched gladiator and then discussed it for half an hour... hehe... major assessments.... an essay... prereq's... NONE... 2nd yr subject

    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
