Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

Bah the server is huge no doubt, 9 pages won't kill it.

So why is there 1028 pages of wasteland, and the old crap no one reads hasn't been deleted?

and yet people kick up a fuss about 9 pages that get removed anyways..

lol

/end rant

Yes the server is huge, but Christian rents it from a hosting company - and they charge by the megabyte - which is why you now see ads at the top of the page. Wasteland is fine, its what its there for.

And as for it being 'only 9 pages' - thats 9 pages of bullshit the mods have to sort thru, and its not a once off - this is happening often. The mods have better things to do than to lock threads, and when you guys do nothing but spam the shit out of a thread, they are compelled to look thru it to see what is said.... what does warrant 9 pages of bullshit?

+1's are sometimes useful to indicate agreement, but IBTL should be a 1 week holiday. Serves no purpose that to whore someones post count up. Its bad enough when you log on to SAU and someone has his name as the most recent poster in no less than the last 10 threads. Its hard enough to find relevant information in the search engine without the bullcrap wasting your time.

Idiots can't read rules again... the rest of you, was there really a need to whore up this thread. Leave it be, report it and let mods take care of it, was there really a need for 9 pages of rubbish?

you know what, I'm seriously pissed that I had to go through 9 pages of crap because a newbie didn't know any better & regulars who should know better, couldn't help themselves.

I'm tempted to go thru that thread again and pick out the names of all the regulars and give you all a holiday but instead I'll give you all a warning cause this place would be very quiet for a couple of weeks otherwise.

Next time a stupid thread gets spammed with "IBTL" expect a holiday (no matter who you are) and an increase in the warning percentage.......feel free to give the newbie that starts a thread like that some direction or let us handle it, but there's no need for anymore than a couple of posts on top of the first.

I did have a life earlier today other than SAU, but have now wasted an hour doing this all for 1 lousy thread!!

My thoughts exactly Pete, actually spoke to Andrew today about this too briefly and he is in agreeance also. I know we sound like hard asses for this but we like to enjoy SAU too instead of scrolling through thread after thread of rubbish like IBTL

We're nothing compared to the interstate guys with 10,000+ posts!

Every forum will be whored... so why start up a forum and think "I hope no one posts over 1,000 posts... otherwise I'll have to buy another cluster"

have you ever search what some of them say its not all banter a lot of people with high post counts actually do contribute

yeah not wrong, but funnily enough i started researching rebuilds like 4-5 days ago knowing one day i may need one just wasn't thinking it would be this soon

damn that sux to hear Steve,

were u boosting it when it happened??

no wasn't boosting it started on my way home from work thursday i just thought it was my front bar flapping

then this morning heard it louder and thought it was my clutch fan, till i got to work and with Luke help we diagnosed it was a bearing

Na James limiter bash played no part in bearings going

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
