Inner West Crew Whoretown (toowong/st Lucia/kenmore/indooroopilly And Sometimes Sunnybank?)


Recommended Posts

Heh the multi-quoting is starting to get fairly decent :)

Well if that's what whoretown is meant to be, then it always will be, no matter if there's 2 or 200 people posting in there. Unless people have no interest in it because it's too damn big, and too damn random.
Not when people simply aren't posting in it. A night club is still a night club if there are 2 or 200 people there... but which is better? Which would you maybe check out briefly, then leave?
Something like what? What is so important that they need to post it in this thread as well as the thread they put it in? The only reason I can see something like that happening is when someone is so excited they're pissing their pants and want as many people to see their story as possible. Those are people I like to call attention whores. I don't care what happens at bayside, because I don't live there, but if I'm bored and want to read their thread I can. I don't care what happens on the south side, but if I'm bored and want to read their.... well you get the picture. If I'm bored and WANT TO. Not "I want to talk to my friends first, then look at the rest of the forum later... oh crap. 400 posts in the one thread today because someone brought it back to life" 20 pages later, having found the 25 posts from this group and wading through what would feel like exabytes of information that I have no interest in... the thread would start to lose it's appeal. I'm sure others would agree that if they have to wade through more posts that don't interest them, just to find the handful that do, one of three things would happen.

1. Another thread would be born so that people wouldn't have to suffer through whoretown.

2. People would just stop posting in there, and whoretown would die again.

3. There'd be a massive bitch fight. Bigger than the ones with that Alex bloke. And I can promise you, I'll not be sitting on the sidelines for that. I'll be in there quoting and debating my ass off, copping abuse, hurling abuse, insulting people, their mothers, their pets, whatever seems good at the time. And so far I'm batting 2 for 2 on argument threads getting closed. That's a big thread to close. And it's an even bigger thread to try and delete lots of posts from if a shit fight breaks out.

Why should people have to check threads from other areas and wade through pages of whoring to see if there's anything happening that they might have otherwise travelled to the area for? The thread itself and the regular meet isn't what I'm getting at, that in itself is fine (but if that's the case it technically should go into the events section, just to open another can of worms lol), it's the whoring. As I've said I don't have a problem with post whoring, I used to be in whoretown myself a fair bit because that's the appropriate place for it.

There used to be some HUGE bitchfights in whoretown, but that was part of its appeal :woot: Anyway as you pretty much said yourself earlier, it would be what you make it.

THIS THREAD as I said, is an extension of our meet. Read the first post on the first page. That's still what this thread is all about. So why doesn't it deserve the right to stay seperate? Because it's 600 pages long? Or just because? It's not just pointless whoring as I've also said. This thread still serves it's original intended purpose.
It's *not* an extension of the meet. It's whoring by people who attend the meet, but the posts are otherwise unrelated to the meet itself.

In the last handful of posts we've had bourbon, broken phones, cricket, internet censorship, cost of cars overseas (my bad :D ) and actually nothing whatsoever to do with the original meets other than mentioning it as justification for the thread's existence.

Or maybe it was always dead, and everyone was waiting for a new thread that was of relevance to them to come out of it. A phoenix if you will.
I can assure you that it had been alive and well for quite some time, and the current whoretown is certainly not the first one (the earlier ones were archived off due to performance issues with large threads on older versions of IPB).

There were a few dramas in the Qld section a while ago which killed the activity, it hasn't fully recovered from that. That is why there is a lack of activity here, and that is what I'm hoping we can reverse... to some extent at least.

No one is being excluded from the thread or from the meet ups. And some people were smart enough to open this thread anyway even though they're not from the west. Strangely a lot of those people are a part of this thread now. We always get new face pop up in here too. A lot of people simply check out this thread because of it's size. If people are too stuck up/lazy/scared to open a thread and check it out for 5 mins and see if it's for them, then they're not a very good part of the community anyway, and would probably always be complaining about needing to change their tampon.
I know people aren't being actively excluded, but if you're from somewhere that's not on the west side it's entirely conceivable that you might look at the title and think "hmm that'll be irrelevant to me", not open it, and miss out on what's in here. That's nothing to do with someone being a sook, it's just the way it is, why check something out that's completely irrelevant?

On the flipside, I dare say a lot of the people who are here and checked it out because of its size, did so because they were looking for a chat/whore thread...

Read your descriptions of it again... does this sound more like a casual chat thread, or a thread discussing a specific meet?

If you really think the title is a problem, change it. But we vote on what it changes to. Not some stupid "Whoretwon MkII" kind of title. It has to include it's original element as well as a new one to show the tampon squad that we're not that mean and elite.
The thread doesn't need to go and the title doesn't need to change. If either were the case I would have done it ages ago.

I have no problem with the thread existing per se, I'm just suggesting that the whoring (and that's what it is, as already mentioned) go into whoretown. It's a more appropriate place for it, the activity in whoretown would likely be more beneficial than it is in here, and if anyone is interested in actually coming to the regular meets they don't have to wade through pages of people talking about phones and cricket to find the relevant info, who is going etc, which sounds very much like the reason you gave for whoretown being A Bad Thing.

Give it a go, it's not that bad :)

john just mix with what you got.

my rules only stop when it comes down to flavoured milk and spirits.

have even tried beer and spirits before, not too bad

Not when people simply aren't posting in it. A night club is still a night club if there are 2 or 200 people there... but which is better? Which would you maybe check out briefly, then leave?

The one with 200 people. I'd leave that bitch like a rocket.

A nightclub with 2 people is somthing I'd love. No line up for the bar, no line up for the can, plenty of seats. Even cooler if it was a club with a live band, because then you could sit/stand anywhere and see. That sounds like the most awesome nightclub in the history of nightclubs. It's one even I'd go to. I normally don't go to clubs because I hate people and wish death upon many of them.

Why should people have to check threads from other areas and wade through pages of whoring to see if there's anything happening that they might have otherwise travelled to the area for?

I don't quite understand this question... but people don't HAVE to check anything. But those who do take 5 mins to check something seemingly unrelated to them, then at least have the option.

When the Charity Cruise thread opened up for this years cruise I looked at it and though "Pffft... charity" but I read it anyway, and wound up going.

It seemed totally pointless and irrelevant and unrelated to me, but I spent 5 mins and looked anyway, and went. And will probably go again next year.

No one MADE me do it, and I didn't HAVE to do it. I simply chose to look at something that I would normally shrug off. And you know what? If I'd missed out, I'd have no one to blame but myself. 5 mins isn't a long time. If people can't spare it to have a look at something, then they probably are too busy/important to come to a meet anyway.

The thread itself and the regular meet isn't what I'm getting at, that in itself is fine (but if that's the case it technically should go into the events section, just to open another can of worms lol), it's the whoring. As I've said I don't have a problem with post whoring, I used to be in whoretown myself a fair bit because that's the appropriate place for it.

You could move it to the events section. But we won't stop posting in it. And then it'd be a thread no one else can keep track of and wondering why it's in meets and think it's a whore thread etc etc.

There used to be some HUGE bitchfights in whoretown, but that was part of its appeal :) Anyway as you pretty much said yourself earlier, it would be what you make it.

I always miss the fun stuff :)

It's *not* an extension of the meet. It's whoring by people who attend the meet, but the posts are otherwise unrelated to the meet itself.

Actually it is. And the posts are related. Usually the posts will be about something that happened or was said at the meet, or many posts/happenings will be spoken about at the meet. And it's not just ONE meet. In this thread we organise other meets, like the Pommie's house warming (which never took place... but still) and others. Some of those meets we have as 'ideas' at our weekly meet, and then nut out the details in here. There is a LOT in this thread that's meet related.

In the last handful of posts we've had bourbon, broken phones, cricket, internet censorship, cost of cars overseas (my bad :woot: ) and actually nothing whatsoever to do with the original meets other than mentioning it as justification for the thread's existence.

And if you are there tomorrow, you'd hear us talk about how crazy the prices of those cars were, the internet thingy, the government will get bitched about some more, we'll find out if Miso ever got any bourbon, see who's phone's are still PF, and the limp wrists will talk about the cricket :D;)

It's not JUST about the ORIGINAL meet. It's about an ongoing saga of meets and spinoff spectacular showcases and all that fun stuff. And those who are willing to read and contribute to this thread can learn all about it and join in :)

I can assure you that it had been alive and well for quite some time, and the current whoretown is certainly not the first one (the earlier ones were archived off due to performance issues with large threads on older versions of IPB).

There were a few dramas in the Qld section a while ago which killed the activity, it hasn't fully recovered from that. That is why there is a lack of activity here, and that is what I'm hoping we can reverse... to some extent at least.

Lots of posts does NOT mean alive and well. For all you know 80% of the people in there were posting simply because it was THE place to post. Once something else opened up and there was a choice... well... we see what way that choice went.

I know people aren't being actively excluded, but if you're from somewhere that's not on the west side it's entirely conceivable that you might look at the title and think "hmm that'll be irrelevant to me", not open it, and miss out on what's in here. That's nothing to do with someone being a sook, it's just the way it is, why check something out that's completely irrelevant?

True, it's possible. But I live north side. I opened it. I made a choice to spend 5 mins of my time and check. Wound up reading the whole thread from start to finish, then joined the forum and started posting.

So I don't see why someone else can't spend a little time and effort checking things out. Some threads on here are toally LOL worthy, but you wouldn't know from the titles. It never hurts to check. Some people don't get that though... it's like if it doesn't ultimately and immediately benefit them, then there's no point in it. Those people miss out because of their greed and impatience.

*QUOTE LIMIT*

On the flipside, I dare say a lot of the people who are here and checked it out because of its size, did so because they were looking for a chat/whore thread...

Some stayed. Some left. Some visit occasionally. I see no problem with that.

Read your descriptions of it again... does this sound more like a casual chat thread, or a thread discussing a specific meet?

I know my description, I don't need to read it again. It's an EXTENSION OF THE MEET. Therefore it is both things, casual chat, and discussion of a specific meet. On top of that it's also a thread for arranging additional meets, it's also a tech thread, it's also a troubleshooting thread, etc, etc, etc. All the extras and etceteras ultimately tie into each week's meet (or other meets). This thread is discussed at EVERY meet.

The thread doesn't need to go and the title doesn't need to change. If either were the case I would have done it ages ago.

Well then why suggest merging it?

I have no problem with the thread existing per se, I'm just suggesting that the whoring (and that's what it is, as already mentioned) go into whoretown. It's a more appropriate place for it, the activity in whoretown would likely be more beneficial than it is in here, and if anyone is interested in actually coming to the regular meets they don't have to wade through pages of people talking about phones and cricket to find the relevant info, who is going etc, which sounds very much like the reason you gave for whoretown being A Bad Thing.

All the information needed for the meets is on the first few pages. Any questions relating to meets that randomly pop on in this thead are also answered. Everyone can find out nice and easy about the meet.

Take the additional posting out of this thread and then it does just become an events thread, and like all events threads it will sink it's way to the bottom and die, or fill up with a new batch of whoring.

Give it a go, it's not that bad :)

I don't see why we should have to when we already have this thread. It's not like we're reforming the Third Reich in here, or arming/funding terrorists, so I don't see how it really bothers anyone.

john just mix with what you got.

my rules only stop when it comes down to flavoured milk and spirits.

have even tried beer and spirits before, not too bad

Nah... I'll pass haha.

Anyway, might have to drive out to get dinner soon. So no drinking for me anyway.

It's not like we're reforming the Third Reich in here, or arming/funding terrorists

I'm keen...

Love the red drift rims on the back :)

Its got good style aye?

Anyway, might have to drive out to get dinner soon. So no drinking for me anyway.

COMBO BREAKER!!!!

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
