thanks bro,

i agree 100% with what your saying to. every time something shit is said its someone with 5,000 posts or more :P . (im not talking about you, if your in the RH9 max respect bro)

this isnt how things should be. these guys should be the main support in here.

Care to show a link or example about what you mean?

Also, depending on what section most of it is just taking the piss, a lot of us have known each other a long time and have met up personally etc even if we are in different states etc.

Maybe your just over sensitive or have no sense of humour, i have found this place to be a lot more help full and a more enjoyable place to be than ausrotary, i found a few good people on ausrotary but most of the people there were dreamers, there is a much higher level of knowledge on here than there was on ausrotary, maybe it is because of the smaller following on ausrotary but this is definitely the better place to be.

Also after reading the thread on BUYER PROTECTION you seem like an argumentative prick who has no ability to see some one else's point of view and will argue about every little non relative point and make your self look like a dick, maybe thats why your copping shit.

Yeah this seems to be a pretty common forum problem ay. Yes it happens too much on this forum but there are certainly worse out there (cough, antilag, cough) I'v always wondered if a name and shame keyboard warriors thread would help?

On smaller forums this problem can be minimised by moderators but on a forum this big? they certainly have their work cut out

(side note: why do the haters always drive shitboxes? All the guys running nice cars always seem to be really helpful. life lesson perhaps?)

I've never has any problems on here and I'm far from 'in the establishment'. I've seen you post some stuff that makes me not surprised at all to hear this has been your experience.

Agree SAU is by the far best im a member of, you ask a stupid question you will get mild flamage, but hey learn to use search first eh? So many people so willing to answer questions and with very good info.

There is definatley other out there that are far worse, namley the one previoulsy mentioned in this thread.

I guess its like anything else in life, act like a dick, get treated like a dick.

It's true that you will get some slaps from the more experienced guys if you advocate 'street racing'.

As per your posts in Hooons thread. Eg; your comment street racing is the only sport you can take pride in these days, track days in perfect conditions are for geeks that dont know how to drive.

You get only a small amount of tollerence for being younger and less experienced with high performance cars but, plenty of support for listening to good advice and lots of the guys on here have done heaps for noobs starting out to help them get up and running for track days including donating time and materials.

However, when it comes to the ricer / boy racers these people have nothing but, punter/ordinary driver skill as they have never invested in performance training days and certainly never had a track day to hone skills. Yet they think somehow some freak driver gene has been passed down to them and because they impress thier peers (who also can't drive for crackers).

I had a conversation with a young friend of the family with much the same attitude as many young blokes including yourself (perhaps?) that went along the lines of him asserting that he had 'mad skillz' and could drive his modded gtst within 99% of it's abillity. He certainly bashed it around historically and came off the road plenty of times but, I challenged him that I could get into his car without experience in it and make him look like a brown hatted old man driver on legal track environment. I said that he was " a shit driver because he's never had a real driving lesson in his life". He bet me $50 I was wrong.Long story short I took his money.

Most of the grief is out of concern to see you live to enjoy the car and a good chunk is to avoid the negative press that the low skill driver + skyline = crash gets the rest of us.

Track days are awesome and the first time you get to wring the neck of your car like you never have it's the best feeling. You are pushing the car on a road specifically designed to drive as hard as you can. This can be either the drag strip or the circuit, even if the street was legal and you took the people off it, it's a miserable place to try and get the most out of the car. Take your car to the track and I guarentee you will agree.

Having said all this, I'm only going off your comments that may have caused the grief. Not suggesting that this is who you are or that you can't change your veiws given half a chance :D

Nope, pretty sure he is exactly what we all think he is.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Bu...on-t287422.html Read that thread of his and tell me you don't want to kick him in the side of the head for every time he says bro and thinks he is part of the Cribs. Without risking getting banned for swearing and expressing what i think about people like him, ill just leave it at that.

      Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.

      Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.

      Infiniti Q60 Navigation Update

      By Chocolate Cheesecake. · Posted

      Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
