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.

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
