^^^ 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!

    • 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?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
