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.

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
