What a pack of whingers! Dont you have anything better to do than bitch about threads that dont concern you? I find the ctown thread very usefull so i can talk to other local members. Not everyone uses msn, not everyone can use other things during working hours.

The whorethread is ridiculous and impossible to keep up with unless you have no life but so what thats there for people to enjoy and do what they want. You go into it, expect whats there. We have a few area based threads which are constructive and allow local members to easily coordinate with each other and we are ridiculed for doing so. How antisocial is that! Contemplating this sort of censorship is a complete contradiction of what SAU is in my opinion.

AGREED 100%.

Check the votes so far. 9 ppl have voted against the subsections.

If you all feel so strongly against them get your arses of your seats and do something about it instead of whining and winging.

I have put my vote in to keep them. I find them to be useful (even if sometimes we talk about crap). But it keeps from offending the whole of NSW. We just offend the Campbelltown ppl. And we are all friends in there anyway so we know each others humor.

There has been new Skyline drivers come to the forum and and their first post is in a local forum because they feel more comfortable posting in a smaller thread.

Would you prefer every new user come in and new threads that say "Hi All im a new skyline driver.."?

If not how would they introduce themselves to the community? The whore thread is so big you cant keep track of it. And it would take ages to read through the whole thing get up to date to what was said...blah blah blah.

I do agree with some of the comments about too many threads for certain areas.But i have to defend the Campbelltown thread because it caters for more than just Campbelltown. This thread is for the sorrounding area as well;

Liverpool

Glenfield

Macquariefields

Minto

Leumeah

Campbelltown

Macarthur

Currans Hill

Spring Vale

Ambar Vale

Smeaton Grange

Narrellan

Camden

Possibly Picton and The Gong.

I think this supports for the Campelltown thread to exist.

i just don't get why it's sticky in the first place... if you come from any of these areas and want to keep up-to-date, simply find it and post in it...

we all know that as soon as any thread goes off the first page, it's forgotten... so just keep posting in it to keep it there... lazy &$^&$&$%$%@$!!!

:devil:

why do people need seperate sections.

not trying to be a nazi, but if you want to talk to your mates all day, use msn, or some instant message thing. I think the forums should be kept as a common place for all, not a common place for everyone to be segregated into sub forums related to where you live.

my opinion, sack the current stickied threads, and dont make any new sub forums. Its supposed to be a place for ALL skyline lovers to join to discuss things.

WERD!!!!!!!!

I can understand what people are saying about the localities, but come on, some of the areas were like 15mins drive from each other. With two exceptions being the South Coast Thread and the Central Coast Thread which i think should stay as the normal whorethread etc doesnt really work for them aswel as the Sydney based SAU'ers :down:

and especially agree with this last section!

Not sure what the point is!!

I also think most of you are missing the point... this is talking about the putting threads that have been STICKIED into sub sections!!! NOT ABOUT DELETING THEM!!!!! :devil:

Imo, i dont' think they need to be stickied.. i mean if its a thread you enjoy, then subscribe to it!! and if its active, like someone said, it'll always be on the first page anyway! I don't see the point for having a sticky for every single suburb within and around sydney... thats what this whole forum is for, and general chatter is for the whorethread! i don't know many of the whores that read every single page!! and as for organising events.. i'm sorry.. what? i thought thats what the events section was for! whats so hard about putting the suburb name or something into the title?

and as for organising events.. i'm sorry.. what? i thought thats what the events section was for! whats so hard about putting the suburb name or something into the title?

VERY well said.

Dont forget me Soulblighter, i live on an acreage well past campbelltown. Closer to Picton!

So if we want to organise casual meet up, often spur of the moment and a handfull of people, we need to go in the events forum? Come on! This is getting so petty its BS.

its what everyone else does. Or even start a thread that doesn't need to be stickied

spur of the moment with a hand ful of people? don't you think it'd be easier to use the phone?!!?!?!?!?! its not like people check that thread every 5mis to see whats happening!

No it would not be easier unless we went around leaving voicemails. And the ctown thread has worked quite well for us so far. But i guess if people are on a powertrip and want to feel all high and mighty what can we do about it?

Calm down and get your facts straight mate.

I don't think anyone's trying to take your precious thread away. It'll either be in a subforum, or just not stickied, so the rest of us don't have to sort through threads of rubbish that aren't relevant to most people to find something we're interested in looking at :wave:

Well no offence to you but i think its shit and the entire idea of stripping away our ability to have a centralised thread to convers based on our location and ability to actually socialise in real life, thats screwed up.

um dude... did you actaully read the first post?

:D

I never wanted to delete them. I'd rather not have them in the events section either cos that section gets quite cluttered with them. Someone starts a thread about going out that night, it doesn't quite get off the ground but the same thread becomes the seed for an event 2 weeks later and then someone else starts a new one in between meaning there are two going on at once - just for that area.

Then the real, decent sized events get lost in the mess. The events section has never looked so good since these area threads started up. I say keep them... in a separate box. :wave:

See what happens when you try to sub-divide a once combined community? Very soon we're going to have SAU Christians, SAU Muslims, SAU Buddhists; SAU Satanists; SAU Aetheists etc etc...

OMG!!!

Yeah i think deleting them woudl be stupid, but reading back i don't see where it was proposed to delete them. Just sub section them.

I think a sub section is a excellent idea, it'll keep everyone happy, ppl using their local, and the people who dont' want "numerous whoretown" threads in the nsw section.

I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens :wave:

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
