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.

    • Even with no BOV you will have issues unless the MAF is a hot film type like the R35 which has some design features to deal with reversion. Hot wire MAFs are very sensitive.
    • So i just change the (whatever is inside ma original MAF and slide the R34 MAF (it is gonna fit right in? ) and somewhere on the hot side a BoV...i presume that would be vented to the atmo? I just "trying" to understand...maybe my mechanic would know this   I would not mind(even prefer) to run stock BoV cuz it is way more than fine but i do not have that and only pipeing what is left is oem J pipe ... I will be running Blitz fmic(to fit oem one side style) and i gonna need custom pipes cuz i do not have rest of those pipes and hoses... But i am want standalone ECU. Only choice i have atm is Nistune...but that is not gonna cut it right?I dont know what Nistune can and cant do... I know you guys know Link and Haltech...but whatabout ECUmaster? I know guys in here run those but i literally do not know about that and do not know differences... Just know to take whatever "my" tuner can work on.  
    • Is that the blue one rpm?  
    • Update 2: Today I'm f**king pissed. Some of you probably saw my thread that I opened shortly after joining this forum, "urgently need expert/experienced opinion", in which I discussed the possibility of a porous RB26 engine block which I also found hard to believe. Currently both turbos are out since the shitty braided line that was installed by whoever fitted the GT28 turbos leaked oil onto the exhaust. Today while working on the cam covers to put new gaskets and half moons in, I cleaned the side of the engine block with brake cleaner. Some time later I saw that it was still glistening with oil or coolant so I dried that off. But it was wet again shortly after. Verdict: I'm royally screwed. What you can see here (hopefully, despite shit resolution), circled in red, is a crack above the turbo oil feed. Extent is a few cm long and basically goes from #3 cylinder wall to #4 cylinder wall. It slowly lets coolant through, even without any pressure behind it. I am absolutely dumbfounded as to how this crack even formed, especially since it isn't along the cylinder as it usually is but rather a horizontal crack. Probably a few cm in length. Not sure on how to deal with this issue right now. Most likely, the only true fix is a new engine block, and even a relatively well done temporary fix requires at least a full engine teardown. Neither of those really fit my timetable right now, the car has been in my buddy's garage long enough as it is. I'm open to suggestions, but I'll be looking into ordering a new 05U block soon so I have one ready for the coming year, or whenever the current block inevitably fails fully. (Most likely once the crack reaches one of the frost plugs) I think it'd be a waste of money and time to rebuild the engine with this block. Oh and I found a rust hole on the side pocket of the trunk, which someone covered up with sealant goop, a piece of number plate and bodywork filler. Fun times. So far for every issue we fix we just find a new one that is arguably worse.
    • I have not found this no. I put one back on a couple days ago with no drama. I agree they are tight, but no need to remove anything.
