I'm glad that this has sorted itself out, but just to re-iterate for the future:

Okay, this is the one-and-only warning to EVERYONE: all the name-calling, baiting, trolling and other crap will end immediately. Anything that looks in any way like a personal shot at something or someone else will be followed up by formal warnings, the temporary bans, and a permanent ban if necessary.

You're all (apparently) adults, so please start acting like it. Less of the schoolyard garbage please, I was hoping you'd all be beyond that.

I know we all like to stir each other up in a friendly way, but everyone should remember that words written on a screen are not able to express tone of voice and body language. This is why emoticons were created, right? If your post is meant to be a friendly jibe, then MAKE SURE it comes across this way - add a smiley or something. It's an extra few keystrokes on your keyboard, use it.

Most people on this forum are really nice people and have helped me out a lot when I've pm'd them, and met them. It's really hard to judge someone by what they type on a screen because of the way it comes across like Godzilla said.

From what I've seen, we have the best part of SAU. Could be because we had bought a wagon for our family or business and don't get many boy racers.

I still love my Stagea and it was a huge bonus to have this forum as a place to go :) huge thanks to everyone for making it so great!

It must be a full moon at the moment.

I think Nick and OSB0RN's point is really important. What is intended to be fun jibes between 2 people who know each other can look like something totally different to the 99% of community members who don't have that history.

I guess I fit into that category ROFL :/

If being on Internet forums has taught me anything, it's that emoticons/smilies can go a long way to indicating the intent of a post. If you're joking around and you're not 100% sure everyone else reading it will get it, throw in a smiley for reinforcement. Just make sure it's a clear one - thumbs-up and thumbs-downs in particular can come across as sarcastic.

I try to adopt a policy of approaching a new forum as if I'm starting a new job - you're polite and respectful when you first join, after a while you can slip in the odd witticism, and before you know it you're one of the crowd, where everyone understands your sense of humour and can tell when you're just having a bad day. I also do my best to avoid sledging, because one day I just might meet the guy I've enraged in real life and I'll discover he's 6ft 9in tall, made out of granite and finds me irresistably sexually attractive.

:P <-- Required smiley...

Or he'll wanna practice his kickboxing on you! :D

Whoops.....I'm in the worn area again....way too touchy feely for me in this man crying area! :P

While I'm here though.....oh don't worry you guys won't care about me coming out anyway!

    • Yeah, I don't believe the M35 uses a deadhead system.
    • Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.
    • Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).  
    • There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.
    • The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
