Whats The Deal With Free Advertising On This Section?

As the title says.....

The R35 section is about half full of people who work for tune shops or sell parts from their shops and they advertise them in here for free and admins seem to be turning a blind eye to it.

If I was one of the companies that sponsors these forums for advertising purposes like Just Jap, i'd be pretty pissed off.

So can I advertise in the R35 section for free aswell? It seems to be the cool thing to do.

Do you know how much notice I take of people who throw accusations around like 'admins seem to be turning a blind eye' ?

Very little.

On the other hand, if a post was made saying 'Hey, I have noticed that this and that is happening and was curious about why that is' or even 'were you aware that this was happening?' then I'd be all ears (or eyes). Until you can post like that you can bugger off.

it's not complex. if you feel a post violates the forum's policy on advertising then just hit the report post button. that way moderators/admins will have a chance to review the posts in question and make a value judgement. it's anonymous (as far as other users go) and effective.

moderators can not read all posts all the time. that's why we have the report post system in place. or even just PM your mod/admin of choice and link them to it.

not that it really needs much explanation but we have in the past allowed a bit of latitude in the R35 section due to it being a burgeoning parts industry. in the beginning there was not much available for R35s and people needed and wanted access to information about what products were available and where from. some users have pushed that a bit far and it's been discussed in the admin section and action has been taken and users warned/contacted where appropriate. if you think something is still going on that contravenes the policies and spirit of the forum then give specific examples to a moderator. just making wild statements of a general nature won't achieve anything other than offending people who donate their time to the forum.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
