It's ok Nightcrawler, i had just woken up and was grumpy. I was merely stating that changes had to be made because there is far too much bickering on here, too many ppl with their knickers up their clacker and more warnings need to be given out before it turns SAU into a complete joke. No disrespect to the current moderators at all, there just wasn't enough of you. I've been contemplating cancelling my account purely because there is too many ppl getting on their high horse and ruining what used to be a half decent forum back in the day.

Lol...

Compared to say, ns.com... I'd class this as a forum worthy of my bandwidth.

joel was the best, gave me so much information and advice on my car that i still use and tell to others today. he is a very smart guy. he isnt gone tho? hes just reducing his responsibility here on the site. i can understand that, its hard work dealing with donkeys like me.

love joel to hell. great bloke and top family, little kid is the greatest

pity he's moved on, always trusted his advice and opinions, moreso than any other.

will be missed.

SA section needs more skyline/RB related stuff.

I don't think the problem is that we need more sub forums, I think the problem is people need to think about what they are posting before they do and where it should go, ie. the wasteland. More subforums just creates more hassles and lets be honest, who's really going to use them anyway

This is a great forum, and I have been a member longer than most :D

Problem is there doesnt seem to be too much to talk about in SA anymore when it comes to Skylines. Spotted and wasting time threads about nothing seem to dominate the headlines with some defect banter for good measure. A lot of the guys and girls with big combos wont post for all sorts of reasons, and some of the newer members - no offence - have nothing worth posting about. Its a Catch 22 and someone needs to step up with some worthwhile content :D

+1

Yeah we have tried to get sub-forums happening in the past, but it is not an SAU priority. I agree with Luke - people just need to use the search function a lot more, and/or keep whatever crap they need to rant about to themselves or the wasteland.

Honestly, you guys wouldn't believe how many bs threads I delete before anyone else even sees them.

It is a thankless job, being a mod, but imagine if we weren't here to keep the peace.

Martin, I could not have worded my thoughts more succinctly.

Ryan, yes I agree to some extent, but you can't expect us to be too harsh - it is a world of free speech (within reason) and we don't want to be Nazi mods.

Also, some people on here think the mods read every single post within minutes of it being posted - well that just isn't true, and is an impossibility. If you have a problem with anyone's posts, then report them and I/we will take action. Make sure you are VERY specific about which which comments you find to be unnecessary/offensive, who posted them, and the time of the post - then I can track them down easily.

    • Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?
    • https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild. 
    • Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great. 
    • Running rich in conditions where it shouldn't probably won't do great things for catalytic converter lifespan. I would fix that sooner than later.
    • Yes, important point. Watch the Motive videos with Herman thickness testing the bores and deck. You do not want to push the unlucky (thin) block as hard as you can push the average block.
