Off-Topic Thread...

i own all of you... i've got a bumper pool table sitting in the corner of my room... along with my brand spanking new set of tools:D... but mostly the bumper pool table... those things kick ass

oh... and word of advice... never try to string 2 chicks along at the same time... at least one of them always figures out.... :(

yeah, i have tried getting two chicks at once, and then one found out, than that one told the other one, then it was all over. but that is why there is other women in the world.

-Jared

Right, two chicks...he had Barbie and that other one going...

actually... there could have been 3... but one kind of freaked me out... reminded me of someone back west.. not to brag or anything... but being the 'new guy' owns:D

i hate it when the 2 girls your trying to talk to at the same time all the sudden find out through the grapevine. then they go talk to each other and they become best friends. WTF is that?!?! you get no punanny and they are teaming up on you to see if they can destroy your future of women and reputation. thats what really sucks.

This is why you:

Don't screw around with some wacked ass chicks and "relationships".

Really, a long term relationship for me is when she is still here in the morning.

I'm 19, what the hell more do I need?

yeah i guess your right. but its still fun.

Hard core relationships worth being in and commiting to can wait. The idea is to have 20ish or better female friends so you can have some that you just hook up with on the weekends, some you go to the movies with, some to talk to about the meaning of life...space it out a bit. Seems to work fine. Besides, its really damn hard to find a chick that can meet all the above requirements and everything else. And I've found out that atleast for me, its not worth my time to be in a "relationship" with anything less.


Wow, all that was typed by me?

Can we get back to some wacked **** now?

wow...broke that was deep. im starting to think that you may have a heart in all that car talk of yours. :lol:

anyways, not really off-topic but i dont feel like making a thread anywhere about it. ----how far does a car need to be sanded down to make the paint stick and look nice? should a pour some paint thinner on a spot and then kind of like wet-sand it? i have all the rough spots, dings, and paint ships smoothed out. i just need to to sand the rest of it down.

wow...broke that was deep. im starting to think that you may have a heart in all that car talk of yours.

Thats a dirty ****in lie and you know it.

Are you just going to spot shoot it on the damaged parts or are you doing a full respray?

i plan to do a full respray.

Well then talk with the shop doing the work, if would be best usually to get it down to bare metal and primer it from there. But if you are just going to paint it the same color and aren't looking for $2000 paint job then you can usually get away with a lighting sanding over the whole car with some 440 grit or something to rough the surface up. I'm not really a paint expert so look around for more info.

gotcha...i actually plan to do the whole thing myself. it really doesnt matter what it turns out like. i just want to test it out on this car because i really cant make it looks worse, because the paint is really dull. plus my grandpa has a really good paint gun just lying in his garage, so i thought i would do a little experimenting.

BTW: i plan to paint it the same color. how much paint you think i would need to get mixed to spray the whole car? probably do 3 or 4 coats of paint and clear coat. how much does paint usually cost per gallon or whatever?

Good, always good to learn something new. Anyway I really don't have a ballpark figure for you. It varies so much depending on what you want and really, I just flat out don't know.

As for the madness I was refering to earlier.

I'm reading some more.

I think my head is going to explode.

:lol: your going to kill youself before you get your car done. thats ok...i have a plan if you die, right in your will. k3smostwanted has first dibs on any and all parts left over from the crash. not encouraging wreckless driving or anything but i would never forget you that way. :lol:

BTW: i am always willing to learn something new. and while i have a sander and paint gun and a car that needs a new paint job. it isnt like brain surgery for me to know what i should do. if worst comes to worst, the paint wont stick or it wont be even or it will drip on me? either way, it will probably look better than it does now. im excited to try it.

I'm serious, I'm reading this stuff and its like altering my perception of the universe. This is ****ing crazy. Now I'm just so sad in a way because there is only one more part I get to read and then there is no more...

what are you reading??? link me...

Oh damn, its 3:30 in the morning and I just finished the whole thing...that was ****ing awesome. If I had one wish right I now I would wish I could re-read that as many times as I wanted and it would still be new to me. Holy crap. I'm never going to be able to sleep now...

LINK you rat bastard

Kama Sutra? great read!

Did I ever mention to you guys that I not only love Japanese cars... I collect Japanese swords also. And everyone wonders why I'm broke!!! I recently sold a Japanese sword in WWII mounts for $650... I bought it for $50 and polished it myself (Japanese sword polishing takes months... I'm still pretty much an amatuer still though but I'm getting better!). I have had dozens that I bought and I usually sell them later after polishing them (I usually buy swords and not so great condition) and I'm waiting until that day I find the One! I currently have a project Shinto era (300+ year old) wakizashi (A samurai's auxilary-short sword) that I'm polishing and a Shinto era Yari (Japanese spear-head) that I'm thinking of converting into a historical reproduction of a 'cane-sword'. Cool stuff!

please guys, remind me never to mess with this guy ^^^. :lol2:

sounds cool...i had a sword once, but it said NERF at the top. thats when i was like 8 yrs old.

sadly... my parents never bought me that sword!

I have studied Japanese fencing and sword drawing... but you can only learn so much from books you know? The only schools around are up in NorCal or back east... and of-course in Japan...

it sounds cool...why does it take so long to polish one of those swords up?

It gets kinda technical... in the shell there are different grains of polishing stones for each layer of steel... and to bring out the beauty of the sword such as the hada (grain patterns from the folding of the actual steel) and hamon (a beautiful temper line from the heating and cooling process of the blade) there are different techniques and angles to be used or you can lose that blade activity forever and potentially ruin an heirloom. The polishing process is also how the blades get their surgical sharpness...

http://bugei.com/images_templ/bamboo_activity.jpg

The HAMON (or temper-line) is that top cloudy-white part up top on the edge of the sword... the HADA or grain is all the wood-like grainy lines below under the hamon on the blades surface. You can see why it would take so long... I have yet to get one of my swords to look like that. It can take a sword-smith about a year to forge and polish a good sword...

i like stabbing people with swords :biggrin: lol. that reminds me of the family guy episode where all the guys are in jail and a killer comes to the cell to kill them and they aren't there, so the killer asks himself how it feels to be stabbed, so he stabs himself and just says, "ow, that hurts, i deserve to be in here". oh i love family guy.

anyways, sounds like you have a nice hobby there george.

-Jared

It's nice... but can be very expensive! There are swords that are around going for a few hundred dollars... but there are some that can go up to hundreds of thousands! The most expensive was a Japanese national Treasure going for $100,000 American... crazy!

gogo yubari had a wakizashi in kill bill vol 1 i believe... speaking of that.... is hatori hanzo(sp?) a real person? or was he just made up

where do you buy your swords at NukkaB?

anybody know where i can get a cheap digital camera but still takes nice photos? i must own the shittiest digital camera in the world. my nice one broke, after my mother dropped it on the ground.

sounds like a good christmas present to me. :evillol:

i dont feel like making a thread about this. but why the hell did nissan put the oil filter in such a concealed spot on the z31's. they didnt even have those easy grip rubber things that they put on the oil filters now-a-days. i mean seriously, maybe its just me.

well i guess i did have an oil filter that was probably on there for a couple years beings it sat for a long time. but still, i have never seen an oil filter tucked away like that.

ok my rant is over. just remembering my pain a couple weeks ago.

Worst case senario, the oil is already out so just punch through it with a screw driver for more leverage.

Oh, and all that stuff I was reading the other night that had me so tweaked I would have failed a UA?

I just re-read it.

Naturally not as good as the first time but damn...how can such awesomeness exist in the world... I just wish there was more of it.





ANYWAY...

Hello, fellow Z lovers. I read the forum all the time, but unfortunately i dont have much mechanical knowledge so i dont get to contribute much. But i can answer DeleriousZ's question! Hattori Hanzo is a fictional character from an really old japanese samurai show. The Hattori Hanzo character that made a cameo apperence in kill bill would be a decendent of the legendary samurai from the show. The actor's name is Sonny Chiba.

nice...your welcome to post whenever you feel.

BTW: i dont think i could have gotten enough leverage to get the screwdriver through the oil filter. oh well...i got the sure-grip fram on there now. no more problems, hopefully.

Techno music owns you all.

I may just have to drop some cash for a system when I get the car running. No sense doing 150 if you can't be beating your brain to death inside your skull from thumpin your head along to the beat.

Besides, I don't think I'll be able to hear the current system over the exhaust. **** YEAH!

This thread needs more cowbell.

cowbell? what the hell does that mean. the oil filter on the z32 is probably in one of the easiest spots i have ever seen.

Actually he was a real person... the Japanese love to use historical figures in their entertainment for some reason. Other historical figures used in this sense are Jubei Yagu and Nobunaga... are any of you familiar with the ONIMUSHA game series? Nobunaga was actually rumored to have dabbled in black-magic and was also rumored to be a demon... why else would he be able to take over all of Japan? This was the whole basis of the Onimusha game.

sorry...cant say that i have heard of anything you are talking about. im not too knowledgable on my japanese arts. :lol:

i think he is just making up names :grinyes:

AHHAHAHHA! Best SNL ever, lol :iceslolan

Thank god, I thought I was the only one that had seen that episode.

I like using it with telemarketers:

"I'm sorry, to complete this call you need more cowbell."

Broke_as_****'s head: BBBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZz

Damn it. Ultra cool but ultra frustrating. And not kosher to boot. Well screw them.

DAMN IT!!!! i found out today to get my ticket moved to a "non-moving" violation so it won't get on my insurance or drivers liscense, i have to spend $180. welp, there goes my fuel injector for a little while.

-Jared

What were you doing? Pissing out of the T-Top?

i was on the way back home from just winning a football game and hurrying so i could go out, and i wasn't even looking at my speed on the road that goes in front of my house and the cop got me for 40 in a 25. i was about a 1/2 block away from my house, so flipping close.

-Jared

How does speeding qualify as a "non-moving" violation?

WHOA! And I mean WHOA! I'm not trying to brag but when it comes to this stuff, I'm fairly skilled, my work could beat alot of other peoples like it was a red headed step child.


But DAMN! I just can't hang with this material...

Truly amazing...and yet, interestingly timed...someone down at the universe HQ is screwing with me...as they always do...its amazing how blatantly unsubtle they are too. You see it coming, it begins to happen and then it just unfolds right there like you knew it would. Completely obvious yet completely entrancing at the same time.

Or perhaps it is just coencidence?

dude, WTF are you talking about???? i have no clue what your last couple posts are tlaking about. i know this is the off-topic thread but atleast make it on a topic. :lol:

I mostly posted it to clear my head some, no one else ever really meant to understand it.

OH....you have to stay off of that laffy-taffy. speaking of which, i sure could go for some laffy-taffy (not the drug, the candy).

in kansas, a non-moving violation doesn't show up on your insurance or drivers liscense, so if you get a ticket and pay double the fine, the court will make it a non-moving violation. ahhh, you can tell a state is greedy when all you have to do "get out of" a ticket is pay double the fine.

-Jared

Still, how does speeding, where the infringement is a excess of movement, count as a non-moving violation.

WTF is that?

i think he is just making up names :grinyes:

Look it up in the books, kids.... I'm practically a History Teacher. :smile:
