Hi,

From this sentence:

"This tutorial is partially based off "

On http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...18#entry4561718

Was my tutorial, I also re-attached the 4 images earlier in the thread to my tutorial page.

Title was:

Skyline Speedo Correction (R33 example, Nismo cluster) - minor adjustments without extra parts...

Unfortunately everytime I post nothing appears to happen it submits to the server fine, I checked my info page and the tutorials section I can't post.

And since I can't edit I've lost the formatting I did :P

Is it going through some kind of moderation where it needs approval?

Or is there something wrong?

I've attempted posting the tutorial 3 times on 2 different days, always on Firefox, don't have an issue with replying to threads or creating in other sections like this :P

Thanks,

Gareth

I'm referring to:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Tu...IY-FAQ-f57.html

When I click "New Topic", with the topic title in my original post, "Skyline Speedo Correction (R33 example, Nismo cluster) - minor adjustments without extra parts...", and enter a lot of text (see the other post I referred to) and click submit....nothing happens!

I mean the page goes away, just as if it had created the thread, I check, the thread doesn't exist!

Its very confusing, maybe its a bug with the title or something, no errors, just no thread created.

I'm aware of the cannot edit due to certain dodgy people abusing it, but I'm actually referring to creating a new *thread* in the tutorial section. I might try again tonight...

Ok - now you make sense... i can say thing

Tutorial section is moderator approved only.

Has been for years :)

I can see you've posted half a dozen threads... so someone when they get time will read it and clean up/approve

Lol, I was thinking it maybe moderator approved, but I didn't see it written *anywhere* is that section, so I ended up posting about 3 times.

I think they will all be the same, sorry about that.

Maybe there should be a sticky on writing a tutorial and the fact that its moderator approved? I found afterward's what looked like a template but I'd already written my tutorial and I won't be able to edit it anymore :)

sorry mate that's my fault (and Paul's lol)

all new threads require moderator approval in that section, and since my email address changed I haven't been getting notifications.....so I didn't think to go check.

I'll straighten it out now.

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.  
    • I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
