Couldn't agree more guys.

As a founding member of SDU I have had a lot of sleepless nights lately. The forum has got out of control, and we are taking steps to get it back under control.

See my earlier post regarding an Aussie SDU.

Gents,

Thanks for the invite. I'm a little confused. I drop in about once a day to read most of the SDU OZ posts and I have not noticed anything wrong with the SDU. Maybe I just don't read all the post unless they take my eye.

I have had a few posts up and never been moderated, could someone please fill me in because I'm unsure what people were doing wrong and why anyone would delete or stop a thread.

The Internet is a rare thing where people can stand up and have their stay. I have seen people absolutely sh!t all over UAE but I still go there and have a chat with John, but I don't buy much. What ever happen to freedom of speech? Is this SDU moderator thing just a couple of 18 year olds on a rule the world trip or did some people step over the mark?, which is hard to do because if you don't like what you are reading then don't read it.

Please explain.

Thanks

OZ

They're basically telling you what you can write in which forum and that's that. eg in the for sale forum, nemisis has been cracking down on anyone that posts a thread in which they didn't state ;name, pic, landline contact number, price etc. It's really funny. Oh, and you can't post unless you pay $20 from 1 July. They're just sick of the some of the shit that went on I guess. Oh well, you'll still see me there as I'm learning a shit load and you'll still see me here 'cause I can type SHIT LOAD without getting a warning.

Keep it real Prank!

Thankyou for your honest response Starion. I have always looked upon you as a good honest SDU leader without nonsense. You and Brendon Makes all the difference. I love my SDU but it is sad that it has come to this and everybody is victimised for it and no socialising is allowed.

theres a story behind everything.. such as the for sale forum, certain individuals have been ripping off a lot of people using the for sale forum (taking money but not sending goods, some for thousands of $), the new posting requirements were implemented for forum users benefit, why?

- they are required to give multiple means of contact, no free email addresses and a landline number to prevent against people using prepaid mobiles and disappearing after they have your money.

- they are required to post a photo to prove the acually have the product they are "selling"

the for sale forums were provided free and were very good targetted advertising, its a shame they were abused by some and these restrictions had to be put in place. but.. hey, at least they are still there.

Well mine is still on the car but I can't guarantee for how long. as it is I have already become comfortable with things around here, I think if we just look at SDU as a technical resource and nothing more it should all be sweet. I mean who has "encyclopaedia brittanica" stickers on their car? 8)

i can't be stuffed taking the sticker off.

hopefully we get an Aus club up and running. if not to bad.

but i'm gonna use SDU for the tech info, can't find any better place for in the world atm.

its helped me lots and i'd like to see it keep going in some fashion. I can understand there point of view but would of liked the social side to stay.

    • Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...
    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
