For the last 2 weeks or so I keep getting board offline messages, or the page won't even load and just times out. Both errors happen on my work comp and home laptop.

Then when it finally works, I look at the times ppl have made posts and they were during the times I was having trouble so it's affecting individuals not the entire forum.

Anyone else having this problem? It's realy frustrating.

I see. I thought they moved server about a month ago when it was down for an entire weekend.

And others have been making posts when I couldn't access it, unless the post timestamps are wrong. Which is wierd.

Anyways I'll live, just thought I'd let admins know.

Cheers. :P

you couldnt get on because the DNS servers of your IP had not updated yet, while the people who were posting were doing so via updated DNS servers.

Heres a quick and dirty rundown;

The site has been moved to a new server and the old server has had its config updated to point to the new servers db. This means we have one db and two 'sites' until everybodies DNS is updated. Because I have fixed the search on the new server, people who are still getting the old server's 'site' will have some problems, but they will be fixed when the users' DNS is updated. (ie, I can search and view new posts with no errors at all).

Hopefully that makes sense, its hard to explain DNS stuff without pictures. Ask any q's, I might have to reply using an ms paint representation.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
