Yeah, the 350z page on Facebook was ripe with this for a good long while :-)

Do you mean VQ37VHR? I am pretty sure they didn't do a 370z engine without VVEL. Willing to be proved wrong, otherwise.

The original GITS Manga and anime released in 1995 is what the live action is based on, so watch that first before the live action ruins it for you. The rest are the stand alone complex saga - solid state society etc. Watch at your leisure.

The 86 also royally annoyed me with its TRD edition. £6500 extra for a body kit and no extra power? Shameful.

The engine in the 86 is woeful. Yes, it has potential but you can say that about nearly every car out there. I was so set on buying one but a test drive at Struans of Perth put paid to that. Can get an MX5 or an SLK for similar money. Having had a shot of my mates old SLK I'd sooner have one over the BRZ/86. If it's a new 86 you're considering, you're not far off decent 370z money, really. Still got a soft spot for the MK1 Nismo.

So I had my day ruined by my friend who shared this with me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4VmJcZR0Yg Your turn.

So I recently moved house with the better half & part of the deal was building a garage, which is currently under construction. The size is going to be 7.5m x 6m x 2.1m so around about 90 m3 in volume (accounting for walls) and about 45m2 floor space. We have an electrician ready to install a distribution board in the garage once its built, but I'm still humming and heying about the lighting & heating & also Frost protection I should have installed. The garage will be detached and away from the main house. Has anyone built a garage before & can share any nuggets of wisdom on what to avoid or otherwise embrace? I'm not going to be routing water into the garage so anything I install needs to be electrical - I've been thinking convector heaters or Infra-red heaters (how do they affect car paint? I assume they don't??) - I'm really not sure what to opt for. Thanks in advance.

Investment, Pete. That's the simple truth of it. Hardly any money spent on the game in Scotland compared with England/Wales. I also remember Souness being the first manager to flood the Rangers ranks with English players - basically buying the Scottish Cup with mercenary means. 1987 was the start of the decline of Scottish Football.

In a studious effort to keep the miles off the unicorn & still be a sociable sort after moving to the country (ish) I took myself off around Aberdeen's used car Garages and picked this up. The first Italian turbo I've owned, so that's something. GF loves it - the styling is pretty good, the drive in non-sport mode is pretty crap. Sport button basically just boosts better which at about 8 seconds to 60mph isn't sluggish. Jury is out on whether its worth dropping £3500 in it to break 235PS - more likely I'll buy something else Japanese and let the Missus have it. We'll see, thougjh Some snaps of the muddy little bug on what will eventually be a new garage for me :-)

In for saying it's looking like the bearing. They don't all behave the same way when they fail, but sounds very familiar.

Oh. I'm sorry, being such a massive Poppy buff I thought you'd have recognized the British royal Legions 2013 official Youth indoctrination scheme. http://www.forceswatch.net/blog/poppy http://www.vice.com/read/poppy-wars-remembrance-history-839 Hard to argue that the British royal Legion is just a 'random picture on the Internet'. They got that much @*!# over the photo they deleted the original tweet. https://web.archive.org/web/20150704131012/https:/twitter.com/poppylegion/status/396308596461273088 I'm not here to start a flame war over what people believe in or how they show respect to the dead, I'm just making a point that the Poppy I wore as a child on rememberance Sunday is not the same as the one being worn today, for all the wrong reasons.

https://stavvers.files.wordpress.com/2015/11/bx_4kzgccaabf2w.jpg[\img] Not promoting war at all. Future soldier. Wow.

The Poppy has been appropriated by the political classes for the last decade to sustain & celebrate the savagery of war and it is definitely a political symbol, one that appeals to jingoism, racism and occasionally people who genuinely want to show their respects to the dead of both wars. Wear one if you like, it doesn't bother me, just spare me the platitudes about 'sacrifices' and Britain being some kind of martyr to Europe when after the last year it's clear the UK doesn't give a @*!# about Europe or its people. The family who started the war sacrificed ****-all, instead boy was set against boy so that men without courage could expand their empires. George, William & Nicky. The fact this comes up every year saddens me just as much as thinking of the needless loss of life on both sides.

Chernobyls core melted through the superstructure into the basement levels below. What infamously became known as the elephants foot, containing a myriad of actinides that we have no atomic knowledge of off and frankly, wouldn't ever want to. The initial core breach and explosion sent the fission products into the atmosphere, some of which was detected in sheep that grazed in the Highlands. That's probably the worst extra-national ecological extent of the Chernobyl disaster. Fukushimas biggest issue is that to prevent a reactor meltdown, they started using "normal" water as opposed to the moderator fluids used normally because the pumps were unable to be powered on site. The issue is that because the inner core was breached, the radiation inside the core effectively irradiated the minerals the normal water is naturally comprised of. That irradiated water has since been dripping into the world's oceans, absorbed by flora & fauna alike. Pretty much the world's worst ecological calamity. But pretty much nobody is talking about it. http://m.nautil.us/blog/chernobyls-hot-mess-the-elephants-foot-is-still-lethal

Half life wouldn't bother me. The sievert value of the affected areas on the other hand, would. The granite around Aberdeen has a half life of 1600 years but the radium (radon when it decays) is encased & can't escape hence doesn't cause a health hazard.

My guess, a wheel bearing on its way out is causing your ABS to kick in. Used to happen on my old celica at low speeds.

Not sure I follow bud, or maybe my sarcasm detector is on the blink lol. Came out of the Nismo factory like that, its a Nismo Built "Complete Car" just like my 380RS http://www.nismo.co.jp/en/products/complete/ I know the styling is marmite, but JGTC cars have always been elongated in Japan, just par for the course over there.

Lol I did wonder, but the owner probably disliked them. Plenty of S Tune decals for "tributes" on eBay etc

Just 300bhp mate

So, I got a heads up that this car was in Japan and available for sale. What an opportunity. http://www.goo-net.com/usedcar/spread/iphone/13/700051053830160923001.html These cars are so rare it's impossible to predict when will next come up. The £ is so weak at the moment I can't bring myself to take the hit, but long-term I see this car making the owner serious appreciation money. Nismo Complete Car with the rarest aero package ever built for the Z33 chassis. Proper collectors car.

Tbf, Autech do prep the chassis (additional seam welding) prior to Nismo building the car - so I don't begrudge that, it's not tuned by Autech, however. List of Autech tuned vehicles, here; https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autech I do actually think it's worth what he's asking for it, Nismos in Japan are selling for at least 2,000,000 yen or £16,000 at the moment - before shipping, tax, IVA etc That said, I have found an absolute minter that I NEED to write another post about!

Looks like this car is back up for sale. https://www.gumtree.com/p/nissan/nissan-fairlady-z-nismo-autech-2007-8-350z-genuine-px-or-swap-low-milage-/1194550067

This. Confident & self-assured people are attractive people - people who are melancholy, needy or insecure are not. Think about the person you were when you met the last person who was keen to start a relationship with you. I'll bet that person was confident, self-assured & had friends, interests & hobbies that took up a lot of thier time. Confidence, happiness & contentment are attractive traits in a person for a reason, because subconsciously we are all looking for it ourselves. I can't tell you what to do to get back to being the person you were when you were at your happiest, but believe me when I say that it's perfectly possible to be that person again, because you were before. When depression took a hold of me, I thought it would never let go. I despised the constant heavy burden in my chest, the anxiety eating away at any notion that I'd be fine and the panic attacks that prevented me from going out to meet friends & lead any semblance of a normal life. Antidepressant tranquilizers helped me sleep & focus on work while I rebuilt my confidence. Self-help books, exercise & reconnecting with old friends helped, too. Getting involved in a relationship was completely out of the question, but going on debauched holidays abroad and ploughing my way through as many one night stands as I could didn't hurt. Ultimately it was 2 years before I was able to seriously contemplate a serious relationship with someone & even now, although I clearly remember the anxiety & lonliness I felt as a husk of who I was - I still shake my head at myself in disbelief at how I ended up that way in the first place. Don't lose heart mate, it does get better. Promise.
