spose i shall have my say in regards to the previous argument, re: discussions on the sa forum.

im going to direct the moderators to this; the WA wasteland.

im glad the moderators are more active in keeping the garbage out of the SA section, but one of the rather charming things about our humble little forum was the occasional random/non-car related thread, which we had a few of. so im thinking a dedicated wasteland sub forum like in WA would be good for us, sure its more work, but im sure someone would be more than happy to put their hand up to moderate the 'wasteland' sub forum, hell, id even raise my hand.

sure, we're all crazy car loving lunatics, but we do occasionally enjoy things that are non car related and want to share these thoughts with other SA members, but with the crackdown in the main section, none feel 'safe' to do this anymore.

(yes, my post is a little disjointed, i just finished work.)

Dave, like Dale & Ben, you also make a good point. As I said to Dale, it's something that you would have to put to Christian (Prank) and get his thoughts on it.

And yes, as you and Dale have stated, we would definitely need another couple of Mods........any suggestions as to who is capable of diplomacy yet not backward in using a stick when warranted?! :(

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

EDIT

Good for you. Do it. Do it your way. Too many people are scared to fail and will never be adventurous.

When I built my supercharged SR20DE 200B, I had everyone in the "industry" telling me it couldn't be done ... two fold: can't fit an SR20 in a 200B and can't supercharge it. I love proving people wrong. I drove that car around for 2 years before I sold it, as it was, registered and inspected with the SR20De superhcarged.

I got the same reaction when I built my CA18DET vg30BB powered 1600 wagon, 13B powered Bluebird, and T25 turboed CBR1000 drag bike. All 4 times, proven them wrong and been happy with doing it my way.

I came to the conclusion long ago that there are sheep out there with no idea ... they only want you to do things their way. f**k it ... do it your way.

I nearly said something yesterday in Damo's defence (and I know that it's all said with a tongue in cheek manner) but I bit my lip.

If SAU had more members like him (and I'm coming purely from a Mod's perspective), this place would be alot more enjoyable and less stressfull for all of us.

9 times out of 10 he stays on topic (having said that, we all stray), he doesn't go out of his way to be a smartass or stir the hornet's nest (unlike a couple I could mention) and yet with his enormous post count I don't recall ever having the need to steer him straight over any issue. :(

if there was to be a "wasteland" or "wasteland-styled" sub forum, id be happy to moderate that section. The other sections are being well moderated at the moment.

I don't have high hopes for a wasteland sub forum, seeing as we were declined a for sale sub forum a while back.

cara just dont put the super charger on and then decide turbo after or ill kill you :( decide n live with it

sorry for those that have done it but i think its a bit lame buying a n/a car and putting a turbo on it when they have a turbo model, why modify it when you can go out and buy the same damn thing for prob cheaper & more often better. the only time i would accept a fake as being kinda cool is the shelby cobra kit car, because lets face it who the f can afford the real 1 and then have the balls to risk damaging it on the race track

^^ valid point and 1 i would reccomend aswell normally but i think cara more into being different than trying to shave seconds off lap times n bang for buck

Different yet f*cking so much more expensive for what you'll achieve with half the price if you ran a turbo. I'd sure hope Cara has deep wallets. It's like my mate, he want's to put a RB26 into a Supra and then make it have the GTR's 4WD system... and I said "Why?!" it's just so expensive.

But that's a whole other thread...

It just makes me think of all these people who have endless wallets who decide to go down the show car path, and modify the shit out the car (LCD's in the engine bay, etc) but to achieve what? A trophy? Play table tennis and you'll get a trophy.

Speaking of Go Karting, anyone been to Greenhills lately?

Yes I'm 21, but I only went there a few months ago lol.

The go karts there are beyond slow. You can walk faster than them. So me and my mates were just clipping each others tires and ramming into each other, because when they're that slow, why even bother racing?

We got kicked off pretty quickly.

Man, Greenhills used to be awesome with the BMX bikes and stuff. And then the big bad Insurance company came in.

yeah i think have tohe go-kart format the same as the last one, 2 drivers per car endurance race, changing every 15 or so laps or whatever it was.

Ok then i will get to organising it

i will try and work out a good little deal for us all...

and just a word of caution it will be organised at richmond kartmania

and the boys dont like when people are crashing and bashing their karts...

if you are deliberatly seen doing that they will kick you off their karts

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
