im trying to do a tut in there to help out other people and three of my post havent been put up in about a week at least... It makes me over it why spend my time writing out a detailed thread then it never shows up on the screen... i understand you want to moderate it but there must be a better way, its all very dis heartening i dont really want to finish my thread but i guess i should re write 3 long posts and try again...im also sick of the garbage thats in there, cutting down a gear stick dont post asking how to do it post if youve done and your telling others how its done, theres plenty of other spots for questions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bs!:

cant you guyds moderate and delete if in appropriate instead of moderating and obviously loseing or being to lazy to allow the post up on the board..

Sorry for the rant but i spent time and effort to help others and feel shut down...

s13drifter -

Don't feel sorry for speaking how you feel.

As a member of SAU forums - thanks in advance for you work. I can't wait to see what you wrote about - For someone who is as passionate about cars etc for you to write a DIY , I commend you.

Come on Mods- how about we publish the work so we can all enjoy it ??

s13drifter - unfortunately, i am the only one who checks the moderated posts/threads and i have just gotten back from 10 days on my honeymoon.

I will add it just shortly.

Also, yes i agree there must be a better system, do you have any suggestions?

prank man sorry if you feel i was goin off i know your hands are pretty full, there are two other mods in there, my only suggestion is they let people post then move or delete once the post is up as nessasary, if its garbage delete, if its appropriate leave it goin, but there can be no whoring in there, like getting side tracked within specific threads.... if you do need a hand i am keen to look after that section if more help is needed... i dont just wnat to whinge im willing to do what it takes to fix the problems...

cheers,

daniel.

I'm more than happy to mod the section if you want... i'm doing a tut right now in the VIC section so I can f**k the plebs who whore off and then move it to the DIY section when its all done and ready to be presented.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=42193

My suggestion is to have multiple mods to mod the section, and be a bit nazi about it, delete whore comments and pleb questoins. But as it is the section shits me to no ends, like a response to a question shows up a few days after I post it, and when it appears it appears with a few other posts sayin the same thing since they haven't seen other's responses.

The current post by post approval system sucks, at least make it thread approval required only, and once the thread is created its free to post. People want answers to their questions quickly, and right now they don't get that.

yeah I'm one of the slack mods in there...and I would be happy for further help to moderate it. While I try to check each day obviously I am not and can not check it every minute

One thing I don't think is going well in there is there are two many threads turning into discussions instead of answers to questions.

Anyway, I'll go with whatever is decided.

alright let me apologise also. i havent been checking as often as i have but let me just say something

1. the gearstick question was moved out of there a long time ago as it is not a tute but a question so i'm not too sure what you're talking about there.

2. you have not been waiting a week i checked it on friday and there were no threads or posts awaiting moderation.

we try to check at least once a day but please dont accuse us of being lazy for not checking religiously.

again sorry for keeping you waiting.

i too know how you feel

i think what it comes down to is if you have 3 posts that make up your DIY thread, it is possible that it could take up to 3 days per post for the DIY thread to come together. which is a wee bit long.

However I think if there was no limit to the length of the posts in the DIY section, then you could just make one big post. :

I've noticed once you've posted you can edit your post however many times and its instantaneous, so I generally tend to do that.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
