Over the last few months there has been an increasing level of baiting, trolling and personal attacks across the NSW section

For those who may have forgotten the rules they agreed to when signing up, the link is here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/index.php?app=forums&module=extras&section=boardrules

These forums are intended to be a friendly and welcoming place to all genuine enthusiasts, if you want to form an e-gang to bully people go somewhere else for your sport.

For the avoidance of doubt, the term "panel gaps" will attract a warning.

Now put down your keyboards and give each other a hug.

panel gaps?? is this refering to gaps between panels on a motor vechle??

no, in the 29 cases I reviewed in the NSW section in August, panel gaps referred to deliberate trolling and baiting of a forum member 100% of times.

Let's just raise the tone and not be personal.

Sorry if I gave the impression I was joking. Matt, you have been banned.

Luke, at no time do two wrongs make a right. If you have a problem with someone's behaviour please use the "Report" button to notify the moderator of the section so they can review and take action.

Please people take a deep breath and bring a bit of nice back to the community.

Luke, I started this thread because of the increase in behaviour which was contrary to the forum rules, in the hope that people would read, think, and change how they were acting - so warnings and bannings would not be required. There is no "at fault" here, each person's behaviour gets judged on their actions only.

I'll repeat, if you believe a member is trolling, report the post to moderators so we can review and act.

...

I hope it was worth it, because you are now permanently banned, along with your primary account.

Anyone else that is incapable of self control and want's to be a smart ass will follow this person, and others, out the door.

Unfortunately a number of the mod and admin team have had to hand out further warnings and bannings today on this topic. We have also decided to hide a number of the less helpful posts.

Lift the tone, think before you post, and treat your fellow community members like human beings.

Or you are not welcome here.

Pretty simple.

    • Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?
    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
