guys - forum members have always been able to delete their own threads....it's the way the software has always worked...

Actually that function has been removed now.

You can no longer delete your own threads, and rightly so.

That's the lamest thing you could ever do...

most regulars on here have long memories...i sure most of us know who's a knob and who isn't :P

what about the new users that will come to the forums?

Anyways,

I'm heading to well agree with Jim_X here.

i would like to know if this guy changes his name, or is going to say he'll be on a cruise.

This for a number of reasons, mainly the members as opposed to myself.

After writing off two cars... both recently, then i would be severly worried about having this guy on an up-coming Great Ocean Road Cruise or something in another high-powered car with a high-powered EGO.

Last thing i want is my car written off because of a KNOWN fool.

Unfortuantely we dont have membership (VIC) done yet and our private section up and running to try and stop these sorts of dangers not only for myself, but for every other SAU member's cruise that Snowman and I will be doing this year.

So there is a bit more support for the case, im just thinking of the greater Vic team from a safety aspect.

R31_Nismoid - maybe you should wait to make your judgement till you meet him and go on a cruise. A good example of a member like that is boxhead ...

There have been plenty of times where I have taken my car out to an industrial area late at night to practise drifting... almost come a cropper a few times... maybe this guy was just unlucky... and if he doesn't learn from the flaming u guys gave him then he never will :P

unlucky... twice.

you write one car off, you very rarely do it again.

What happens the third time i wonder???

This is just a simple case of too much money, but then, you cant buy a brain.

I just hope nothing happens on a VIC cruise if this guys comes because he has the access to see it.

I dont wanna (as the orangiser) have to try and explain if someone is injured

but dave i seen pictures of boxy doing that stuff on those roads along with other skylines yet i dont see you meantioning their names arnt they in the wrong aswell for taking part in this action.

I seriously doubt anyone here can talk about not breaking the road rules at some stage in their driving life. Im sure some have gottin it sideways late at night on a quiet road on their way home or given their car a little at the lights. Yet when the make threads that they did i dont see anyone flaming them for it. I mean yeh they were lucky enough not to write their car off or put a dint in it, but still they were breaking the law people actually congratulate them for it. Im not saying that everyone does do it but for the few that do and are stupid enough to post it on this site that they did, when 90% of the chance the police look at these forums and these are open to the general public to read. What do you think there gonna think skyline drivers always give it some i dont think we should place all our blame on those that right their car off and in turn police give other drivers a hard time but also those that do street race or drift or whatever cause police sometimes see this and think that all skyline drivers are like that.

people :

a) shouldn't be doing it without the experience to back it up

B) shouldn't be a damn tool about it and don't realise the seriousnous of what they've done

c) shouldn't be putting details which puts it in worse light than it already is

chaos, thats the other problem too - people see pics and they dont know what actually happened.. ie you saying this about boxhead... do you even know what happened? He hasnt ever even crashed a car into any thing sold, once into a barbed wire fence... thats it..

hence why i think that threads like those are pointless cos no one actually knows what happened and they all jump on the same wagon and flame the guy.

well after looking at a series of pics dave i assumed they were speeding along that road and going over the bump trying to "launch" their car into the air.

Then saw a pic of boxys car on its roof lookin worse for wear and writtin off beyond recognition almost, but your right i can only assume what happened.

i think the problem with mines was that people are just becoming a little sick of the attitude displayed that is making life hard for other more mature import drivers.. my patience for newbie p-platers given their cars or not otherwise earning it, or probably worse not having respeckta for the power and thinking they know everything is wearing a bit thin.. then writing it off or being involved in a major accident just confirms it.

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      By Duncan · Posted

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
