^^^ rich & retard lol

Be more specific in your questions, and seek more specific answers.

You can't expect a question like "My HICAS is broken, how do i diagnose and fix it?"

it's like saying.........i've got itchy balls, what should I do?

people are going to tell you to scratch them...........unless you own up and let them know that you rooted some slag that has syphilis

ZOMG LOL.. funny shite... i'd say cut em off (info i picked up from the forums)

easily

but id go with 115/45's

you could just use rubber bands. i have seen it done.

you guys are seeming to think i am the one saying "my hks bov got installed and now my car stalls at red lights"

i am just speaking in generalization and observation.

Actually the thing that annoys me most is when people do help out, do answer questions & then the original poster cbf'd making the effort to confirm the suggested fix worked or otherwise. Leaving the poor bloke searching the thread at a later stage none the wiser.

Agreed

You give them the help, advice etc and then they say they dont need it anyway.

Something like this muppet does by saying he'd rather listen to mechanics than us... well, of ya go then!

Im just glad r34NRG got shut down :ninja:

No need to say that. :down:

his posts were always insightful and informative.

The problem is that 7-8 years ago it was all new and shiny. no one knew what the hell rich and retard was, nor that an atmo bov didn't work too well with a MAF.

Unfortunately after 8 years of people asking the same questions they aren't too new and shiny, and people are well beyond the point of patiently retyping the same old answers so just type search.

even 3 years ago i would happily re type my experiences converting the r32 to rb25det power, now i just can't be stuffed anymore.

I dare any member thats been around for that length of time to dig up some of their first posts and see how truly stupid they were.

The other thing was that 7-8 years ago most people didn't expect to be spoon fed the answers, they'd go out and fault find, and if they didn't get anywhere they'd post a question. There's a basic lack of mechanical knowledge these days and it shows.

on every forum ive seen, theres some criticism about the forum community, but this site is definitely tame. due to reasons such as the price of skylines, meaning that the average owner age is slightly older, not to mention P laws cutting out most of the newcomers.

you just need to look at an american car forum where 15 and 16 year olds can pick up a car for a few hundred. then it becomes an animal pit

Ahhhh have a whinge

People are stupid, it may have taken awhile for this to become apparent to you....but now it has it's time to accept & deal with it.

Mis-information (bad advice) is rife, why? because those that know their ass's from their elbows got fed up with arguing with tools long ago.

This thread is extremely un-Australian in it's nature and blatantly divisive...dun like

Search

+1

:ninja:

LMAO love it! :down:

I actually got annoyed with a few people and posted a FAQ up. stops a lot of this crap.

those that know me know I'm usually spot on with the info I provide.

the average age is still in the late teens and early 20's. not exactly 'older'. we still have 16 year olds coming on here asking what to look out for when buying a gtr as a first car.

it is more tame because the moderators keep it that way. not because of the age.

I find it tame because ya'll a bunch of girls... :P

And why is this in General Automotive Discussion? Like, WTF? Wrong section?

Also.. Search...

I avoid a lot of the threads in Forced Induction area, and go straight to the RB30DET area, it's more tech then the out right Forced Induction I find... Less "I did all of this shit like changing my BOV, now my car stalls, but I want the flutterz, make the stalling stop without changing BOV"

There's on any day "What ecu should I get" "I changed my BOV, now stalling" and a couple of other similar threads taking up HALF the forced induction first page...

My favorite:

Just joined the forum, first post, can't spell, wrong sub-forum, wanting to be spoon fed answers.

"HAI I"M A NUuB AND I CBF CLICKIGN TEH FOROM SUBFOROMS SO I"L JUST ASK HERE,

WEHER DO YOU PuT THE PETORL AND WUT TYP SHUD I YOOS?"

I actually got annoyed with a few people and posted a FAQ up. stops a lot of this crap.

absolutely. and if everyone who posted search wrote and then linked to an FAQ as well think how much more accessible this place would be.

there is a whole FAQ forum here where new topics are moderated to make sure they are all tutorial style.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Tu...IY-FAQ-f57.html

so next time you post "search" consider being more helpful :(

Trust me, it has improved over the years but oh-so gradual increments that are almost immeasurable.

SAU is one of the better information portals... You try dealing with the tools on NissanSilvia.com, you get fed up with the repetitious threads that come up weekly.

- What's the best exhaust?

- What's the difference with JDM and ADM?

It's the 80/20 rule applied. "Bullshit/Real shit" ratio of actual useful replies.

We've all been 'noobs' at one point or other. I'll admit that even after owning 3 skylines there's still a lot of things I could learn if I was bothered to.

We can gripe all we want but this thread brings up a good point.

How about writing a beginner's guide that they MUST click on to register their account, it will say things like if you don't know use the search button and tell them how to find it. OR restrict their access in a sub-forum for a certain period of time say 4 weeks. You could name the forum noob central or skylines 411 whatever, but there they could have access to stickied (and closed) links to various aspects of skylines as well as a single thread they could post things if they want to

That way, if they still ask stupid/old questions, They will have no excuse and we can rip into them without mercy!

    • I can ship Nismo floor mats to you: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/nismo-floor-mats-for-skyline-r33-bcnr33-stagea-wgnc34?_pos=1&_sid=9278c1467&_ss=r  
    • Here's the link: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6642/misc/G49?frame_no=WGNC34-137122 What you think about it? The same product i found on nengun: https://www.nengun.com/oem/parts/40567/MiPwn5qAMfCfmpxHNDnwn5q9MDAx8J-QiW9sZC1qcC0xMTAtRzQ5LS0wMDE/Floor+Carpet+%2F+Mat+2/0688339eba149c19 Bot i have spoken to 😅 ensured me, that mats are 100% original, oem product. I have my doubts. I also heard what you mentioned, that nengun often offers items that are actual not available... On the other hand mats i found on japanese yahoo or ebay are in poor condition and still quite expensive so i'd rather wait for some better offers. My location - Poland. We literaly don't have ANY market for used Stagea parts so need to search outside Europe.
    • You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not
    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
