It goes past religion (has nothing to do with it IMO) and comes down to a human beings rights. The right to LOVE and be loved, unconditionly. No rules, just pure love.... and what is more special than that ?? +1 to Dohmar's post I love tits 'n slits, but realizing that not everyone is born this way, I believe with all my soul that every adult deserves to give/receive unconditional 'adult' love, no matter what the gender. Just like every child deserves unconditional 'parental' love, no matter what the circumstances. It doesnt always work out that way, and the sooner WE as a society work towards a more loving environment, everything in this world will be the better for it.

shaun at boostwerx did mine for me

Thanks - it was a bloody awful feeling when it happened; sinking in the guts type. Didnt sleep over night, juts worrying over it. At the time I was just explaining to my mate that I cant afford for anything to go wrong, hence advertised for sale, and then that happened (split AT hose); obviously I feared the worst. Ive put in 3.5L of dextron-III ATF, now to let it sit for a while so I can get an accurate guage on fluid level, as I filled from the dipstick. Good news is there is now power once again through all the gears; will test drive later on.

yep drained the sump so now the oil level is within specifications. cut the hose that was leaking (right at the nipple), and re-set. found the Auto Trans dipstick, so just going to add the Dexron III fluid there will doble check fluid levels then test (need to warm up the trans to get the correct fluid level). thanks to all for your thoughts and suggestions

I've had a go now at cleaning up the mess in the front of the engine bay, started the engine for 5secs while I sussed the exact spot of the leak - looks like transmission fluid squirted out from a hose. Red colour. Was so dark last night where I checked the oil level that I 'thought' it was empty - now its WELL above the full mark. About to jack it up, empty out some oil into a spare container Ive got that I use for lawnmower 25:1 mix, and see what i can do about fixing the leak. Where does the trans fluid get filled up from, and what type of trans fluid is required for R33-based Nissan autos?

Im gutted mate. Absolutely gutted. Id just like to know what causes zero drive & dumping of oil. I was thinking busted oil pump (had metal on metal squeal sound before it happened), but frankly I have no idea. Yes it will be going back to Shaun; Ive been a loyal customer for 6yrs now.

So, last night I get out of the house & out to dinner with some friends (1st time in a year for me!). Pickup a mate and head to the city, and there is this squeal from the front - I thought it was the RHS front CV boot considering its split and needs grease / new boot. Touch the brake and the squeal stops, but comes back as soon as brake is lifted. Park the car telling myself come Monday must get that CV boot dust cover replaced. Have a nice meal out with friends, laughing while they get tipsy, drop one friend off a Thebarton and head home down South Rd towards Flagstaff Hill to drop another friend off. So, about 300m before South Rd / Daws Rd the revs suddenly flair to 5000rpm (just cruising, as I have been for 300kms since rebuild), boost guage shows there was pressure through the tubo system (albeit negative, but pressure nonetheless), complete lack of power, then it "catches" and drives normally the last 100m or so until the red light at South/Daws Rd. Stop, notice smoke coming out the back from underneath the car (oil on exhaust), green light, the gears flair again to 5000rpm and the car crawls forward. Pulled over just past the intersection before the Fire Station, cut the engine, and find puddle of oil underneath the front of the engine, with a trail down the road from where I came from. I pop the bonnet and oil is all round the front of the engine, coming out from LHS (turbo side) front of engine. Dipsstick shows that there is bugger all oil left. 2 doors down is the caltex so I buy some overpriced oil, fill it up, start the engine and confirm the leak is front of engine, turbo side. Squeal just happens to be gone. Put it into Gear to park it around the corner and it goes nowhere, refuses to move an inch in 1st, 2nd, Drive or Reverse. Shut down; feel horrible in my guts. Bus it back to mates place in Flagstaff, come back with ropes in his VR, and tow the stagea at 1am to my place in Morphett Vale. Im not sure what to be looking for. The 3 belts at the front of the engine are intact and tight. Oil has been flung around the front end and its pretty messy in there. What would cause oil to leak (bad/quick leak) and cause a loss of all drive to the wheels? Engine is 300kms old, there was no knock whatsoever, and has been babied since the recent bottom end rebuild. So whats gone wrong? I can replace brakes, suspension, turbos, radiators, intercoolers, etc, but never done pulleys, pumps, belts etc. Monday am I'll be ringing the workshop to pick the Stagea up for a tow and fix it - but what are your educated thoughts as to whats let go? Oil leak, no drive.... what causes that? Thanks in advance; I feel dreadful knowing that Ive just paid good money for a rebuild, engine was running beautifully, its now shit itself & currently I have not a cent to my name, and frankly dont know whats failed.

I KNOW I wont land in 'hell' simply because during my human life I didnt accept the word of other Humans that there is a supreme deity. I'll find out for myself thank you very much. By living a good and just life I KNOW I will end up in one of the various planes of spiritual existence, and it is THERE that I'll have the opportunity to find the TRUTH....and that boys & girls is MY faith. Is it really all that different to the faith of a believer-in-God ? Frankly, how DARE anyone suggest someone like the Dali Lama, who follows Buddhism, would wind up in hell after living a life filled with goodness, greatness, kindness, etc. How is that possible when he, and the Dali Lama's before him, claim to be reincarnated? Can you really tell Hiroshita, who follows his religion of Shinto, that while he lives a just and beautiful life like that of a Holy man, respects his environment around him, and causes no unjust, that he is going to Hell for not accepting the word of Men that their supreme deity is the whole truth and nothing but the truth? It may be so that I find 'my Maker' upon the exhaulation of my last breath, but my faith in my ability to lead a good, just, fair & wholesome life FAR outways the fear-factor that we've read right here in these past few pages that Im damned for all eternity. Yes, that offends me. If there is in fact a supreme being then I'll find out in my own way, once I pass on to the spiritual planes of existence. Its there that we ALL have the opportunity to right our wrongs.

Next I'll be reading here how its impossible that there could be other intelligent life forms spread thoughout this universe... its complete falicy to state a human man was "created" in a 'gods' image. We evolved; its a very simple Fact (not theory). If a "god" was indeed witnessed by people then I suggest it was nothing more than a visiting life form, of some sort, from some where. One all-powerful deity supervising over uncountable universes, uncountable dimensions; yer, right....... I'll tell you what I believe - we are NOT alone in this universe (nor this galaxy), we are NOT the most intelligent beings ever to "live" (define live; does a spirit 'live' in the afterlife - I would argue yes) in fact Id suggest our race is simply stupid, with the intelligence of a tree compared to what else is out there past out own atmospheric bubble... I believe in the spirit realm, and that there are various levels one can move though to find solace, comfort and peace with ones self (ie, the MAN Jesus would be in the highest level achievable, and yes he was a Man albeit a very special man whom obviously had some very amazing gifts; gifts we could probably ALL do if we actually used 100% of our brain/body's capabilities. To say he was conceived "magically" is pretty funny - if Marys hymen was broken then its not that far fetched that she could have gotten pregnant from an excited 'fooling around' session, bit of a finger, bit of precome and there you have it). In fact I believe that once a spirit has reached a level of enlightenment (of ones self) they can decide to reincarnate and go through the cycle again. I believe in pergatory, but you have the chance to eventually find enlightenment of ones self - people who have performed many evil acts over a lifetime (ie Hitler) would be in such a state of despair over his human actions that it would be vertually impossible for him to forgive himself to become enlightened, hence the term "hell" as he'll be in a state of pergatory for eons. A person who takes a life, such as murder or suicide, would be in pergatory but has the chance, over time (potentially eons), to better ones spirit-self and move up through the levels (dimensions, whatever you want to call it). I find more solace reading the words of famous (and proved) mediums such as the american George Anderson than the bible could ever afford me. From what I can tell, we simply Never die. To suggest that someone like myself, who lives by the very simple creed "do to others as you would have them do to you", would suffer for all eternity for not having faith in an all-powerful diety, is disgusting, and nothing more than a way for one group of humanity to exert control over another. Its man-made, and has no place in MY world. Will I be judged by "God" or "Devil" when I pass on? NO, I will be judged by my own spirit-self, as only I could ever know whether I lived a righteous life or one full of hatred and evil towards others. Lets go a step further on the term "homosexuality"... The 'church' would consider this evil, and a sin, and you'd be straight to hell. Look at almost every animal that has ever existed and you'll find examples of homosexuality. Does that make that animal evil? HA! of course not. Does that animal have a soul, a spirit? Of course it does. Does that animal have the opportunity to exisit in the after-life? Yes. No, Im not bi/homosexual but I firmly believe in the motto I outlined previously. Treat everyone (animal & thing of existance, from grass to a tree to water to a rock) how you would expect to be treated and it'd be a truely amazing world. I could go on but it wont influence another opinion, and the fact is I DOMT WANT TO influence anothers opinion. That would go against my motto. I'll say it again becasue its all anyone should need to hear - do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Its very simple.
