Careless

allz good in the hood. i don't need another EFI relay. it's a good thing too, cause those are 111 US from MSA. BUT, i found out that I have a spare EFI relay too. HAHAHA. it was one of the relays i pulled when i was sorting the wiring from the day i took apart the dash, i was testing different relays I had in a box. WICKED. it starts.. but my plugs are still fouled and she's only chuggin on like 4 cylinders. i gotta see what the problem is there. my guess is that the plugs are just so dingy that i gotta give them a good scrape. sucks though, cause i just bought these NGK BP6. boooooooooo. I guess I could put the old plugs back in to see if it is indeed the plugs that are being unruly. OH, and for the fusible link, I just bent the remaining wire where it burnt, and slipped it through the hole where the spade is on the link pad. Not a permanent solution, but that's why the battery cut off is there. I was only trying to fire it up cause my engine is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cold as hell nowadays. I Think I'm getting some nasty oil seepage through the rings because they arent warm enough to seal properly. I think that's what gunking my plugs from the plug condition chart I'm using.

so did i kill the relay, or is the relay not activating because the fusible link is toast? i jumped it for a bit to see if i can get her to fire, but I couldn't. the engine compartment service light comes on as usual with it jumped, but the relay didnt click. is there a fuse or do i need a new relay

i just think of it as a switch board in another room. when i turn this light on, you go do this for me.

go to an electronics surplus store and buy a 6 pin Molex Adapter it's the same plug used in computers to connect the harddrive to the powersupply of your computer, only it's 3 over 3 instead of a flat 4 pin. alternatively, and what I've come to find as a good replacement for wires that could be disconnected, or units that fail independantly, and as well for diagnosing purposes... is to find a autoparts store that has a clearance on Towing wire harnesses for certain cars. Alot of the pathfinder and GM harnesses have weatherpack connectors with removable pins on both sides. YOu'd have to keep a bit of the wire exposed, because they are crimped onto each pigtail, but it's a really good way of making sure it's sealed from the elements.

.... SO... before noticing that both my battery wires were replaced, with BOTH black wires, and one with a teeny tiny red stripe going down one side (coincidentally, the side that faces the floor, so I couldnt see it in my dimly lit garage), I reversed the polarity on my battery by accident, and the black fusible link started to fume as soon as i connected the positive onto the negative terminal. stupid, I know. (i'll go make an entry into the "stupid things you've done" thread later) What is the black fusible link for? Did I kill a relay too, or a fuse? cause I heard something pop inside the cabin. Usually when I used to turn the battery switch on, I would hear a relay click, but now there is no relay clicking, so I'm guessing I popped a fuse, but I found no sign of dead fuses. Any ideas? anyone done the same thing before? Come on... i know it's common!

im wondering that too, because i'll be getting one of those trucks soon as well. for metal removal, but fun nonetheless =)

if someone where to buy an entire supra kit, complete with abs and sensors and all, what are we looking at here?

but with a smaller exhaust housing, it comes on like a lightswitcher, or one that activates a much brighter bulb. LOL large A/R, more easing into boost... no? might be a bit more streetable.

I tried starting it yesterday. with two battery boosters and a ♥♥♥♥ load of cranking, we got'r started, but she was misfiring like a pig. but it has run fine before. so yes, mine runs =)

so I went to the doc who originally referred me to the Urologist who wasted my time. Normally i wouldn't bitch about doctors.. there's only so much anyone can do. But when someone tells me to come back later after sitting in the waiting room for 2 hours and sitting in his office for about 3 minutes, while he writes stuff down, that ticks me a little. So the doctor told me to go seek a physiotherapist under the condition that I have "Inguinal Strain" No fcuking ♥♥♥♥. What is causing this strain. Obviously there's a strain of somesort. but My best guess is that this is a "SPORTS HERNIA" also known as an "athletic pubilgia" It's not a hernia in almost any sense of the word. No torn muscular walls, no strangulation of small intestines. BUT, the small intestines could be getting ready to break through, or are at a thick part of the muscle that, while thick, is still thinner than it should be, and therefore weaker than all the muscles around it, thereby making it a weak link. They're often cavernous and because they're thinner, they allow small intestines to bunch up along the thin parts, mostly because it's easier for a straining and bulging intestine to expand the thinner parts of any musclular wall in my abdomen. I've emailed a doctor in Wisconsin about this condition to see if he has any contacts here in Toronto that know about his study and treatment method, which is quick and virtually painless compared to the 6inch incision they would normally do for this kind of condition. I'd rather have someone he knows in Ontario, Canada take a look at this, because they probably know a thing or two about his studies and what he's achieved and how to go about getting rid of it. z-hag... Im checking out this SCIATICA thing, I'll get back to you. Again, gentlemen [and z-hag.. just noticed you were a woman =) ]... thanks for the support and the possible ideas. I figure it's better to look at the possibilities than to play the hit and miss game with a blindfold on. EDIT: oh, btw, this doctor who told me to seek physio is the same doctor who wouldn't treat my stye that I had at one point, because I'm guessing he didn't wanna get his hands dirty. He also didn't administer a blood test when I asked him, and didnt allow me to take an MRI, or a bone scan, even after I insisted pretty forcefully compared to the other times where I seeked medical attention. I'm beggining to think that Ontario doctors are trying to make it seem as though they're not keen on wasting time of other doctors so that OHIP doesn't have to waste money, but It's a huge scam. They just want to waste their own time, so they can get paid for doing nothing, rather than someone else taking that coin. Don't tell em where to go, and they'll keep comin back to you, I guess is how they're thinkin.

don't temp me man. i don't want to have to prove you wrong. and yes, one of the boys keeps backing into my pelvis. it's almost as if he's trying to make a gettaway through one of the long dark halways.

I'm sure it burned a lot more than just the carpet, my fellow canuck Now I have a good question. My car has virtually no frame, and the area in which the TC bucket and front rails connect to the firewall/undercarriage are rusted throughout. HOW would i mount this car on a rotissieri, when the front bumper supports or rails are what I would normally attach this to. Wouldn't then entire front end of the car buckle, or kink, or even decide that it want's to remove itself from the rest of the body?

makes sense, but oddly enough, this is the only cage that i've seen with such a design. =/

I post in this section because its the non-tech section, and because most of the people who own datsun z cars are way more mature then say......the honda crowd. and from what's been said in this post, I guess you can see that I did the right thing by posting here and getting some information on other peoples similar experiences. are you afraid to tell people your problems as well as your name? i'm not. I'd rather keep my balls and my leg.

lol @ gentle tug. maybe I might go to a chiro. I'm going back to the doctor that initially said that I had an infection, to see if he can take a blood test. Thanks for the support guys

I'm thinking it's one of three things Femoral Hernia Prostate Cancer, or swollen at the least. and now I'm reading on this Staff Infection. I've had sties before, so it could possibly be the remnance of the staph.. hmmmmmmmm. good lead. im going to my doctor once again tomorrow, and demanding a blood test. none of this shitty urine ♥♥♥♥.

Well, I guess you could say im not too pleased after what happened today. This has been dragging on for more than a couple of years, and I've just about had it, and I'm ready to go into the garage with a hacksaw and remove my leg from my body. Let me start from the beginning. I've had this pain in my right leg, upper thigh area really. It sometimes extends to my right testicle. It's not "painful" but it is uncomfortable. I can't even urinate in one single trip, I often have to wait for my bladder to start the flow again. Sometimes when I sneeze, I feel a sharp pain between my balls and my right upper-inner thigh. I get the same sharp pain when I fall from high altitude, like sayyyyyyyy... dunking a ball into a basketball net, or jumping off a small roof or what have you. So I go to the clinic. Trip 1: Doctor inspects my gonads. checks for hernias using the "cough for me" method with his finger shoved somewhere into my groin that I didn't even know was possible without going internal, ala prostate exam. Checks a urine sample. Tells me that there are no "bugs" and he's not getting any physical feedback. Tells me to go for an ultrasound to look for possibility of a small cyst hiding somewhere. Trip 1- Continued: I go for an ultrasound at the other clinic across the street. The doc starts scanning my groin region, and tells me he finds nothing. I tell him to scan my nutt for good measure, and he obliges, since it's already covered in vibration resistance gel that they smear all over you. I wipe myself clean and ask him "so what do i do?" and he says "nothing"... and I say "so what's the point of this. what do I do if it's bad.. do you see anything?" he says "Don't worry about it. If it doesnt kill you, you'll be fine" I AM DOWN RIGHT PISSED at this point. Don't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ joke about my goddamn balls like it's no big deal. I'm moreso concerned about my leg. Imagine having one leg... what the hell. Trip 2: Trip 1 lead nowhere. no signs of anything. this time, I get a different doc in the clinic. I tell him the story, and tell him of the senile ultrasound guy, and he says "yah, that's scary" and takes a urine sample, and shoves his finger into other areas as well. He tells me that I'll be called when he finds out the results. Trip 2-Continued: I get a call from the office, they tell me I have an infection, and I must go in immediately. So I do as told. I get there, and It's not even the same doc. WTF. this doc denies the report and says "it cant be an infection. your kidney would have been toast by now"... so he won't give me the antibiotics, because he doesn't know what they're for. So he recommends me to a Urologist. I'm under the impression that they're gonna stick a camera in my shlong and figure out what the hell is up with this defective testicle that I've inherited from some other wordly force. THIS IS WHERE THE FUN STARTS: Can't possibly get any worse right? wrong. This new "urologist", who's name I WILL MENTION, flat out, because he's a fcuking idiot. Dr. Milad K. Barsoum.... boy what a riot this guy is. Trip 1: Urine sample taken first. He asks me some questions, yada yada, pulls me into this room, and does the SAME bullshit that's been done. and says he finds nothing. he tells me to take motrin, and come back in a week. HELLO? I'm not trying to cover the pain, SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MY GODDAMN NUTTS AND LEG. Trip 2: Urine sample taken first. Previous sample returned negative of any bugs. I get back in there, he asks me some stupid ass questions. I answer. and he does the same routine, and says "come back in a month" at this point, I'm infuriated, and my parents think I'm bullshitting because this is the 5th time they feel as though I've wasted their time going to see these doctors. Trip 3: Urine sample taken first. Previous sample returned negative of any bugs. So this time, I'm back in.. he asks me how I'm feeling "The same way I've been feeling for the passed 2 years, doc... IN PAIN. my leg really hurts. I can't sleep. I need to figure this out" He says to me... "come back in 2 months" HELLO? ARE YOU FCUKING DEAF? At this point, I'm more than infuriated, and I flat out told him that he's a lunatic, and that He's wasting my time. As I storm out the door, the secretary tells me I need to reschedule. I took advantage of the full waiting room and said "This doctor is a nutt-job, you can schedule me, I won't be back" My dad wasn't too happy about what I'd done. But hey, I'm 22, and I like my nutts. can you blame me? oh, and the leg too. FAST FORWARD TO TODAY: After work, I decide to go to the hospital emergency room. My leg is in PAIN. and I can't sit straight, I can't sleep. I can't even concentrate without thinking about my right testicle exploding. and seeping down into my leg muscles, never to be found again. I wait for 3 hours... only to be told the exact same thing. "It's nothing" SOMEONE HELP ME.

yeah. i might go ahead and do that =) i have a lot of time to plan it out ....

im sure the local news or the person who filmed this video made that quite a breeze.

i never understood why all the cage bracing was done at that one strut tower. is it supposed to be the rising sun effect bursting out from the strut tower or something ? =/

like? i use the word "like" only for people who donate parts =) *nudge nudge*

lol. bastard

i fail to see what this has to do with drifting moreso than ice racing. lol. cheap shot at the drift lovers, if anything.

i feel like loading an old computer i have here with windows 95, and having it boot up to a screenshot of the main page where it says "Megasquirt", and sending it via express to make it a little easier to see. whos going in on shipping costs? someone's gettin' a DELL!
