see peope agree sub forum would be easier... whats the point of moderators if there not gonna listen to the user neeeds?

The point of having moderators is too delete threads and post from wrong-do-ers + moderate the forum to keep people in line. If you want to make suggestions theres an idea and feedback thread at the bottom of the main page.

Why do we need a sub-forum? So each individual threads can be spammed up? With the current setup you scroll through the forsale thread - see something you like? PM the seller.

Problem is Sneezy..... The more sub-forums you create, the more threads, the more threads the more posts, the more posts you have the bigger the database and forum become, which in turn makes the bandwidth required more.....

To run a forum this size the owners are probably already paying close to $800-1000 per month to have it hosted and the required bandwidth. This doesnt count the manhours to set this up, plus all the moderators time in moderating each individual thread. If everyone just stuck with the original single thread and PM the seller this wouldnt be a problem... I dont see the need for a subforum, why not use the general forsale section in the main forum if you want to have an individual thread? We all go there.... if its for SA only.. mark in the heading SA Only, all the people from SA regularly go there.... so its really no big deal.....

If you want to get the forums bigger, I challenge you to make a regular donation to Skylines Australia..... if you dont want to do that, then quit complaining and abide by the rules set down by those in power.

ok, I am sick to death of all the tools not reading the forum rules, and just posting their items for sale in the SA section. This is NOT ON, and I spend way too much time cleaning up after all you fools in general, without having to merge a post a day into the for sale thread or section.

If you have an item to sell, please post it in the 'for sale' thread stickied in the SA section, or in the 'For Sale' forum.

I have been VERY lenient on this in the past, but will start to warn and then ban people if this continues.

Also, it is not kosher to join the site and the same day start flogging your wares. We would much rather you be a part of the Skyline community, come on cruises, be a part of it all, and then use this community to sell your items - rather than you not being around whatsoever, the join the site just to flog your wares. It is not cool at all, and most other forums you require 100 posts to sell anything at all, so we are being very fair.

Any queries or complaints, PM me and I will promptly ban you ass :D READ THE FORUM RULES!

You are a very diplomatic sort eh

love your dialogue not

Nope. Definitely complaining... making a suggestion is when you suggest ways to help rectify the problem.

Calm down guys, SAU is the biggest Skyline forums in the southern hemisphere is wouldn't be so large if it wasn't onto a winning formula

FACT is Adelaide doesn't have that much to sell if your worried about reading 6 pages of for sale stuff before being up to date then its the same as a single forum with 6 pages of back dated things you don't go reading back 6 pages whether in a thread or sub topic DEAL with it

subscribe to the FS thread and be happy with what comes up in the future

Your a fairly new member to SAU so your not aware of what has occurred in the past.

In short there was a big thread; I hit up the Admins for a For Sale sub section as WA had their own.

I was told NO it isn't going to happen so the only answer was to create a forsale thread.

FYI the forsale thread works extremely well; all those that are subscribed to it (which is many more than you realise) receive a notification that a new post has been made. This can be clearly seen when some one makes a new post, your receive an instant notification, click the link and you can see multiple people viewing the thread in a matter of minutes from the time the post was created.

That can't be said for a for sale section UNLESS the individual has manually subscribed to the section to receive email notifications.

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
