Just throwing an idea out there.

I know this is different to almost all other car specific forums, but I think that we need a Stagea off topic section to ourselves, or for our section to be more loosely policed.

I find that I feel very comfortable in the stagea section and I really like the crowd we have in here. I think many people agree with me and that is why sometimes we get OT topics, because we dont want comments from general dicks in the real OT section.

The alternative to another section (like the classifieds) is just to be very loosely policed about what discussions go on in here.

Anyone else got an opinion on the matter?

I'm all 4 it. I also like our little community - almost like a family!

However, I've noticed that many of our threads are read and commented on by outsiders (ie the GD's that we are trying to avoid).

So how do we prevent them taking over the OT Section?

Man, are we cliquey or what?

Hey Dan/Ska are you able to make this idea a bit like a Members Only section?? Like the SauWA etc members sections...how they are hidden from non members... perhaps we could only open it to those with stagea's ??

I don't really think it has to be "exclusive" to us, it's alright to have the opinions of others once in a while too... If they do start to act like idiots and start causing trouble, then we could then deal with that appropriately when it occurs.

haha, good to see that I was on a winner.

we couldnt make it members only, unless, we start a "Stagea Club" where we all pay to be members, but then I doubt that because uhh, we are australia wide and organizing cruises would suck.

either a wasteland thread or another section, either way I think it could be the go for us.

I reckon it is a good idea, seeing as not a lot of the stagea guys here even know or look around the other area's of the site.

I think to start with a wasteland thread would be good, and I'll sticky it, and go from there? If a single thread is not enough for any OT disscussions, then we can look at making a new section?

Personally I think a wasteland thread will suffice, I mean it does for all the state sections, and NSW & QLD do have some post whores!

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
