There..... the thread has been split, you can now discuss moderating tactics to your hearts content.

....and since when was a price drop against the rules in for sale?

Id love to see some Stagea / Skyline air deflector shields on ebay one day....

* hint hint *

could be onto a winner with that, Bass Junky

Maybe Maybe.

Problem is the lead time.

I haven't got the capital to make 20 and then sit on them.

We'll see though.

Get them made in China then, LOL

Your deleting of all the posts was simply a freaking lazy bullsh1t action.

can you not tell a debate from some moron saying "my mate has that turbo and says its shit, why don't you buy mine" and crap like that.

YOU had the choice of either splitting the thread and telling people to stay on topic and advising us of it, or just buld deleting.

Well in my, and plenty of other peoples eyes, what YOU did was of most offence.

Not the 'whoring' of the thread or the thread going off topic, but your boorish and ill mannered random deleting.

I think that as a mod you should be questioned about your abilities to do the right and fair thing.

Oh, and another thing.

You managed to find it in your heart to split the thread AFTER you first deleted it, and then you have put this one here so that everyone can see that YES, you can split threads if you want to.

And your comment that "Mods don't have to give reasons" is just bullshit"

Poite, I thought the reasons were self explanatory why they were deleted. However 52 posts that are on the same topic is a bit much to just be deleted so I've put them in their own thread in the News/Current Affairs section.

Those involved in the thread: do not postwhore it, do not resort to name calling, or the thread and its contents will be removed.

Thanks funky, i couldn't move them back out once i'd started.

Bass:

I never said anything about "mods not having to give reasons", please don't put words in my mouth.

You WERE asked to stop whoring.

You continued to do so.

There was no random deleting, nothing which was removed was relevant to the topic.

If there is something you want to discuss, you need to start your own thread, not just take over someone elses thread because you can't be bothered creating a new topic.

I don't feel there is any need for me to try and justify my actions, because I didn't do anything wrong.

Even after a warning was issued, you continued to ignore it, and went on to whore up another 2 pages in same thread.

Other people who were whoring in the thread have admitted that it wasn't the right thing to do, and have moved on.

Perhaps it's time you do the same?

If you feel so strongly about what it is you want to discuss, I urge you again to start a new thread.

If you felt strongly enough about the subject, you would already have started a thread about it, and I haven't seen that happen yet.

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
