Shits who sit in the priority seats on the train (eg for the elderly, disabled and people with infants) and don't get up.

I was on an express train this summer on one of these days where is was over 40C, heading onto Tokyo (1 hour away). The train was full, my partner and I were both standing along with a number of other people. Then at a stop, a young mother with 2 very yound kids (one strapped to her front), and several bags gets on the train. . . . . and no-one did anything but ignore her.

I eventually hauled a couple of salarymen out of their seats and sat her and her child down.

That's the kind of thing that REALLY gets under my skin.

True but unfortunately they don't mind it especially the elderly who are so used to the male dominate generation. I did the same one time to offer my seat to an elderly woman and she said "it's OK I don't mind standing". Then what do you know a salaryman dashes into my seat. I politely said to him "did I offer you the seat?", he ignored me at first but had enough looks from everyone around to feel guilty then got up. I again insisted the elderly woman to sit and when she finally did, everyone around started to give me a weird stare...

But these things are changing I have seen others offer seats to others in need.

What about sh1t squatting?:P I personally don't like people sitting like monkeys smoking yannis and drinking coffee. I guess it must be a thing to do with the Japanese anatomy as I certainly can't do it without falling over like a bowling pin:D

Yeah, even squatting with the feet pointing out is my idea of semi-self torture... it must be their anatomy coz I find it (not that I do it but I've tried) quite uncomfortable.

The fact that students don't have even pay attention in class to graduate.

Damn thinking of that

There was that elementary kid, a number of years back, who went to school early one day, killed a fellow student, cut his head off and left it impaled on the school gate for the other kids to see when they arrived. . . . . . .

AND HE STILL GRADUATED WITH THE REST OF HIS CLASSS!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
