Hi All,

As you may or may not be aware, we are reviewing the Pro's and the Con's in moving our forum back to the Mothersite (www.SkylinesAustralia.com). This is a decision we are taking very seriously as this will influence the way the club operates. As the execs are not here to dictate rather facilitate the running of the club, we require the decision in the move to be voted on by our members.

The discussion is open to all members of the forum to participate, however voting is only open to paid members of the club. A blind poll will be launched in the up coming days and all paid members will be notified on the poll.



Here is a list of Pro's and Con's for moving our forum back to the Mothersite.

PROS.

  • Public Exposure
  • Traffic flow
  • No cost to the club to host our forum
  • Constant update to the forums - free of charge
  • Separate members area to be arranged in any way we deem suitable
  • Our own moderator within our club area
  • Page can be laid out as we wish

CONS.

  • No Admin control
  • No ability to email from the forum
  • Previous tainted history between SAuQLD and Skylines Australia Moderator/Admin team.


Here are a list of Pro's and Con's for keeping our forum on SAuQLD.com.


PROS.

  • Admin rights.
  • Mass email
  • Can layout the forum as we wish
  • As many Moderators as we wish

CONS.

  • Low public exposure
  • Low traffic flow
  • It costs the club to host the forum
  • Forum/site Updates required may need to be purchased
  • Less ability to do forum membership recruitment
  • All forum maintenance is to be completed by us
  • Less likely to build a rapport with other states due to lack of presence


As this is an important club decision, we encourage discussion and want to know your opinions before a decision is made. So please spend a few minutes thinking how this move will impact you and your club and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Cheers

Scott.

Eddy, the discussion on both sites is valid. I think that there should be more input here personally.

Scott/Tony *raises can of redbull*

I believe my view has already been expressed many times over the course of the last month or so, but in my opinion we as a club would be better off moving our banter as a whole back to here.

I see no reason as to why members who frequent the whoretown/forum on the SAu Qld site can't simply migrate over here and talk the same level of er intelligent discussion in these forums.

So looking at it from that pov we have alot more to gain (a much larger base for members to come from) than what we have to lose.

Admittedly losing some of the exec moderator control is annoying, but moderator control can be delegated to specific sections of SAu Aus so why not simply limit our moderator power to the qld sub forum?

Basically I'm all for moving us back to here :)

There's a lot of... interesting... banter going on over there about this.

Yer I'm flipping between the two sites as I type now.... The problem is none of them will ever see this post AS THEY DON'T COME HERE!!! :rant:

As far as I can see, this is the only valid reason to keep a separate forum. I think some adult discussion is required with some assurances from SAU that we will still be free to moderate our part of the forum as we collectively see fit. Things can often get rather awkward when dealing with power-hungry keyboard warriors... Thoughts?

This discussion has been had, between members of the executive and admins on this site. We believe that this issue will not be a problem any more.

Name names please Martin, who are you dealing with????

Names aren't important, all we need is confirmation that they'll let us run our own show... Which I cant see any problem with, why not let us run the qld section we're the ones that live here ?

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
