I have nothing to back my logic... but I wouldn't imagine the radiation absorbtion of aluminium, steel and glass would be that high...

Personally I think one would have more risk of radiation poisoning from living in a brick house!

Wow... Are you two going to stop eating all foods and drinking all drinks that come from within a certain radius of the plant too??

+1 to this, honestly you probably are already exposed to a decent amount of radiation on a daily basis. Here's a list from what I remember from physics;

The sun

The earth itself

Potassium (You'd be suprised at how much potassium there is in foods)

X-rays

TVs

Certain watches

Smoke detectors

Computers

Atmospheric Nuke testing (you can thank the French for this one ;))

The likelihood of your car being irradiated is next to none, and even still, the likelihood of you getting sick from said irradiated car is 3/5 of not very much.

Case in point - I wouldnt be too concerned since the chaces are 1:11ty

Well you've clearly had larger doses given your mental state :pirate:

or the fact you will be ...

forever alone

one type gives you cancer... the other type gives you cancer... same same but different

Getting up in the morning gives you cancer.

fk, just breathing gives you cancer these days too.

Atmospheric Nuke testing (you can thank the French for this one ;))

the french only performed 50 atmospheric tests, as opposed to the US's 331 and a similar number from the ol USSR

also the 9 test's in south Australia performed by Britain would probably be a bigger worry for us

lol its not the same type of radiation brah

Both Ionizing Radiation (think uranium) and Non-Ionizing (radio waves) at the most basic form are just energised particles or energy or waves travelling through a medium or space. Both "can" cause cancer brah.

its all over rated with people going into panic mode. i work with radiation both in rocks and with the equipment to measure rocks and deep earth substances and would have no hesitation in buying a car from that area. Small doses of radiation have been thought to be benificial and give you a stronger immune system and fight off cancers that might form in the future.

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
