George Bush is as insane as Saddam which is clear from what has gone on recently. Its scary in fact that such a ****ed up person on Bush can somehow get into power in US (and remember there was all sorts of controversy as to whether he even won due to secondary counting) and lead them into such a dangerous confrontation when the large majority of the population is against it.

I think that while the US will of course be able to kick their asses, Saddam would have learned much from the last war. He's not going to sit there in the desert with his tanks and thousands of troops waiting for the US to assault them with superior firepower, training and tactics. He's not guarding Kuwait anymore, he's guarding his own ass and country from invaders (the US) this time. If he has thought clearly, he will trying to fight everything out in the capitals, amongst the streets where he knows the US will struggle on unfamiliar territory (street combat), something that has gone on for many decades in the middle east. It is something the US isn't that familiar with, and one they will struggle with. It is about the only way Saddam could get his own in against America's superior army.

This will result in large civilian or US soldier casualties which he's going to go use to all possible benefit to produce to the world to get them to turn against George's little war. While he is pretty crazy, he is a pretty good tactition to still be there after that many years, so surprises could happen.

A few dead civilian bodies and the tide of the muslem world who are in some cases sitting in the middle of the fence will soon shift against the US. It could be a vietnam all over again. This time, even other surrounding countries could be drawn into drawing sides - resulting in a much wider conflict of West vs Middle East. This could be a very dangerous situation, and things could easily escalate past Iraq. One thing can easily lead to so much more conflict - take September 11 as the most recent example. That is what i'm worried about.

No war is ever "simple" and the effects can be felt around the world for decades.

NO.

I don't believe war and violence solve anything. They just bring death and misery and economic downturn. And more importantly, war would bring revenge and more war to come.

Can we just live in peace? They should spend more budget allowance to auto R&D and subsidize auto importation, don't you think? :D

i still think they should just have a lan... bush picks 3 of his l337 homies from the cabinet and sadam picks 3 of his l337 henchmen and they play counter-strike of a 3 map war.... swapping sides every 10wins.

sif have to kill ppl for real.. or at least rock scissor paper or somethin....

btw BUSH is a puppet... hes got so many hands up his ass pulling on the strings and influencing his decisions its almost like punch and judy.

i think war will occur, if it does america will win for sure as they have several other countries on their side. The US will just strike iraq from the air.....game over! america as much as some people hate is the capital of the world! they have the weapons the numbers and so far some support!.

"Can we just live in peace? "... hmmm, thats a very noble concept Shiro.

However in the entire written history of humankind has there ever been lasting peace throughout the world?

No!! Since time immemorial humans have fought each other for one resonor another. Conflict is in our nature and so it shall always be.

Yes Bush is out for revenge, yes he is driven by oil and $$$ and yes he is a puppet but war is likely to happen one way or another so we'd better just batten down the hatches and prepare for it.

Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990 and what goes around comes around. Lets see how Saddam likes it.

As for rising petrol prices, just go easier on the right pedal.

I dont think Bush is to be blamed here for anything. Ever since president Truman, the US president has acted as a puppet to serve the interests of the powerful Zionists who came from Europe after WW2.

Its way to clear now. Look whats going on in occupied Palestine. I dont think i have ever seen America take possitive steps to help solve the conflict there. They are just letting the top Zionist politicians do what they want. It is a fact that most Israelis do not support what is going on and just want to live in peace. But there is a minority who want everything for themselves. This can be seen both on the Israeli and Palestinian sides.

So in summary. Bush is just serving the interests of Israel. The only thing that stands between Israel and full control of the middle east is Iraq.

Couldn't have said it better myself Mash.

Although I'd like to see Israel try to take down Saudi Arabia, Iran, Lebannon and Syria. Maybe then they'd realise that they are living on stolen land and that trying to take more is an affront to human rights.

Mash is not "anti-Jewish" He's simply stating a fact.

You can't say anything which contradicts Israel or the Jewish people these days without being branded anti Semitic or a Nazi.

Israel has been free to massacre hundreds of Palestinians and destroy Palestinian homes so more Israelis can settle illegally on Arab land for far too long.

After the massacre of innocent Palestinians by Israel in the refugee camp of Jenin. Israel prevented UN officials from entering to see if Palestinian human rights had been violated which of course they had.

hmmmmm, put hundreds of people into refugee camps and then murder them all. Sounds like something one country did to another race back in WW2. Can we all say "Hypocrites?"

yes, true.. its hard to tell sometimes, often people go on about "zionists" with little rational thought and those people are nuts - i guess that is what led me to that comment.

Israel does have a lot to answer for, and so does the United States, and so does Iraq, and so do so many other countries. To me neither side is right, and all that any of this involves is death and suffering for somebody and its never "right" or "wrong" for that to happen to any person, race, or country.

Thing is, we shouldn't be getting involved in a conflict over the other side of the world that we have little reason to be involved in other than we blindly follow the US no matter what the real motives are. That just draws our country into something that was never really our concern and should not be made our concern. By getting involved it just _does_ draw us in, and will in future and here is now and this is when we should be putting our foot down as a country and saying "no". We can do it.

What is there to discuss?

-The UN is useless and does nothing but talk. All the UN can produce is a lot of hot air.

-The US will attack Iraq if it feels Saddam is not disclosing all its weapons info

-Bush knows he doesn't need the UN to successfully invade Iraq

-Bush feels Iraq is not cooperating so war is probable and no country on earth can hold back the might of the US military.

Conclusion- Half the world disagrees with the US, Iraq is in deep shite.

i have a question...with all these "nukes" and "bio" weapons, how much can our poor, unstable planet take? unstable due to humans already pushing it to the edge of extinction?

people are waiting for another meteorite that wiped out life on this planet(dinosaurs)...i think its already here...in the form of human life.

"fighting for peace is like fu(king for virginity" - crazytown....i know we must "fight" terrorism and the like, but, surely there is more than one way to "skin a cat"?

all i can see is one nation being scared of the other(for a nuber of reasons), so they power up thier weapons...

the US are right in the fact that they shuold be stopped...but who will stop the US?

i cannot see any good coming out of this. and we are one step closer to our dimise. im not smart enough to think of an easy, neutral way out of this situation the world is in. question is - is anyone?

    • 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.
