^^^ 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'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
