Man there's gonna be some people from 'that other' thread will totally belittle you for doin' this, i.e. 'you tryin' to get your post count up' ?? 'couldn't you do some research first'?? 'couldn't you have just messaged the dude and asked him'?? ... did you have to bring back an old thread and make life hard for everyone!! ....

I actually sort of agree. Talkin shit has a place in the Wasteland.

In the ACT we seem to lay waste in every thread, eventually - lol.

The sort of waste that belongs in a bag with a tube in it strapped on to the side (forget the name :/ )

ah yes, but then we wouldn't be here !

Yes poor Jezz cops it a fair bit. I know on the odd occasion (mostly :P) I have been harsh.

I forget we all started dumb ass young guns.

Rather than ask a dumb question I waited till I found the answer out. Many years too late !!

So baby's don't come out their bum ? so where do they come out of ????

Bahahaha

C'mon Richard, their bum..............

Its the belly button isnt it?

On a more serious note regarding said thread, I agree researching is probably the best place to start but some times its old data and 30 pages of it, sometimes personal opinions are needed. If I met someone and trusted their opinion I'd take that rather then a thread 3years old.

How many times do you see R31Nismoid has Locked a thread with a stock standard message along the lines of,

"Believe it or not this topic has been discussed numerous times since SAU started Blah blah etc..."

It's not unreasonable to expect/encourage people to have a look around for answers before starting yet another thread on the same old topic.

I wanna be a Moderator. :ninja:

He was born 'Not a Pulsar'

And he just wanted to have fun,

Then defining a 'Colostomy bag'

During a conversation about bums,

Now he has ambitions of moderating

inappropriateness he would be flagin'

But alas, he's drivin' a Skywagon.

:whistling:

The issue I have with some threads is the miss information that is spread. Normally I just read and move on, however in one particular thread a person spoke badly about something I am passionate about. They had no knowledge or experience about the topic (this appears to be a recurring story with other topics). On a open forum such as this everyone is able voice their own opinion and so am I.

If you can't cop it, then don't dish it.

I have been a moderator and know it is a lot of work to maintain a forum, especially one the size of SAU.

I am for all that - but do keep in mind that what I said was only a supporting statement of someone else who said it. (Perhaps you should read the whole thread instead of reading parts you want). Not to mention calling someone an idiot instead of you correcting / discussing is really immature.

If you can't be bothered to read the whole thing and only take bits and pieces it's never going to end well. I am supportive of all forms of driving - I was pressing the point that everything should be done at the track, from 1/4 miles to drifting- but people regardless of tracks available will always do stupid stuff - so do it in a remote area where people will not get hurt if they made a mistake. Perhaps a PM expressing your more personal opinion would have been appropriate to which I could have explained in more detail to what I meant. As I've said in the past- I don't really get my point across correctly from head to paper. I hope this clears it up for you.

    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
