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!

      RB25DET NEO R34 timing belt

      The markings on a balancer are on the outer. The outer is separated from the inner by the rubber. The outer and the inner can, and will, slip against each other as the balancer starts to fail. Put a new balancer on it.

      RB25DET NEO R34 timing belt

      By JC71 · Posted

      I just replaced the timing belt, along with tensioner, idler, water pump, etc. all the front end engine stuff with all new stock Nissan parts on my 98 R34 GTT that I just recently got, so glad I did as the belt ,tensor, idler and water pump were all original to the car with over 161 Km and looked absolutely terrible, honestly I cant believe the belt has not broken, luckily I have not driving the vehicle since I got it, and only have ran a few times because I've been restoring it over this winter. I turned engine over by hand and lined up all the timing marks from cams, to the head (plate behind pulleys), and crank to  oil pump block mark, as ran fine, but had a lot of front end noise. the idler sounded like gravel and the tensioner had to no tensor left on it at all as it appeared the spring had rusted in place due to a waterpump leak over the years. so the timing belt was very loose on the left or tensioner side. Never the less I turn engine by hand until everything lined up even with the marks on the original belt. I remove everything making sure not to rotate anything, then put in new tensioner,  idler, made sure all marks from belt matched marks on the pulleys, cams and crank alike and all marks from crank and cams to head and block were perfect. I slowly turned by hand and everything lined up on the cams and crank to the head and block every other time, as proper. all looked fine until I put the lower timing belt cover back on, then the  harmonic balancer, at this point before torqueing the crank bolt down I noticed the timing mark on the lower cover to the harmonic balancer is off. I think the marks on the harmonic balancer and in 5 degrees, from 0-20  and it should be at 0, but some how its around -2.5, not enough for a belt notch, and there is little play in this cover to the block. The key way and key are perfect on the crank and slot in balancer is perfect, no play here, and the cams and other timing marks seem to be on. Is this something to be concerned with or will it be fine. maybe just this way due to a new stock Nissan belt?? slightly tight and will stretch a hair??? I marked the CAS before disassembly and know it should be set to 15 degrees BTDC or so at 650 rpms per engine decal. so do I need to worry about what appears to be a slight retard of the mechanical timing? or will this slight difference be compensated when I adjust my CAS?   appreciate any insight.
