1) My idea is that putting a 'Like' button at the end of every post. I have used a few other forums with this feature and I must say it is a very nice feature.

Pros:

  • Post Spam - You ask a question - you get a reply, not really worthy of a blank post saying "Thanks" due to the type of question - It will show your respect without spamming the thread.- Example: Did you own a R32 GTR or a R32? Response - R32 GTR - Like. (Not really worthy of a "Thanks".
  • Appreaction of a post that you thought was witty/ helpfu - Not making your post or thread feel useless when effort is put in.
  • No 'Dislike' button so you won't recieve a negaitive jester when not wanted / needed.
  • A level of satisfaction when recieving a like.

Cons:

  • Following the Facebook 'Like' feature - Some people may find it a Facebook thing and not for forums (Hashtags belong on Twitter etc).
  • Extra cluster on a thread - it would soon be the norm after a few days - but can be an issue for some

2) Second Idea is to put @Name - this helps when wanting to call someone out - example: "@Not a Pulsar Didn't you find a fix for this issue?"

Pros:

  • If you are quoted or mentioned somewhere, you will always be notified (Do note, the person has to use @name for it to come up in the notification window).
  • Easier use instead of quoting, when you don't have a post to quote.
  • Easier way to grab someone's attention if they have a possible answer (Example above).
  • If you know of someone wanting to buy a part you can @name them and it'll notifiy them - also good for a sellers point of view - more traffic to their thread.
  • Hyperlinks to their profile if clicking on the tagged name

Cons:

  • @tagging spam - People can be idiots and @name someone in many of posts and they will get a notification - troll factor.
  • If you did not want to be mentioned but you were / called out - Regardless, you would normally come across the said post - but you are notified to back yourself up instead of letting the claims against you sit there.
  • Following the Facebook 'Tagging' feature - Some people may find it a Facebook thing and not for forums (Hashtags belong on Twitter etc).

Sorry if this has already been suggested.

Like Not a Pulsar likes this and 15 others.

Great thread - thanks.

Originally the 'reputation' system on Invision allowed users to increase or decrease a users reputation, as well as leave comments. This was disabled immediately as we could see that the system would not be taken seriously and people would misuse it. However, the latest version of Invision has a cool new addon which allows for a simple 'like' button as you have suggested, doesnt allow negatives or comments. Brilliant! I have enabled it and 'liked' your post already. :)

Yes! The @name addon is one I want also. It would be really beneficial to be notified when your name has been mentioned. This is on my list and there is likely already a plugin for it which means I'll get it installed today or over the weekend.

Thanks Jeremy!

@@PranK Glad to see that you like my idea and have already implemented the ideas.

I can see the tag working in the post, however the forum has kinda pooped itself, so I am unable to see if I get a notification (Not sure if it's because of the new plugins or because I'm using the work Internet Explorer).

Yeah, the install of the @Mention hook ran a query which locked all the database tables ... bleugh.

Trying again; @

The forum is still disfigured. So I am unable to see any Notification menues or tabs.

I'll take a screenshot for you.

However, if the tag shows like this @@PranK (Hyperlinked) It will be working.

Okay.. So... I cannot use the computers browser because I am unable to login after I deleted my cache (i get logged out and there is no top bar / login with the disfigured forum). So I am currently on my phone.

I'll try it when I get home. My work browser is extremely unreliable. I did just try it and it was still disfigured, but I'm guessing I need to delete my cache again. I'll try at home where the browser will be running the redone cache you just did. I'll give you a @@TAG :D

      Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.

      Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.

      Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers

      R33 GTST Axles

      The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
