I don't like the idea of all these new sub-forums. Like, is there really enough bodykit talk for it to warrant its own forum? Originally, you could post a bodykit related question in the General section and have it answered in mere minutes. But now, with so many new forums, more threads will get missed. How many tyre/wheel threads already pop up in the General section because nobody reads the sub-sections?

Also, it's going to take half an hour before I post each thread to decide if I'm in the right forum or not.

Who's with me?

There's only a couple of major new sections...

Bodykits

Importation

and the seperate sections for the Stagea Owners and the Cefiro Owners

Oh and we split general discussion into Skyline Related and Other Cars

Nothing else has changed... has it?

Yeah I agree ... too many subforums ..

It was nice and easy to browse before but I don't like all the Cefiro and Stagea forums. I mean after all, this is Skylines Australia. Should we therefore have a VL Commodore section as well because they have an RB30? :)

I think... if that section doesnt interest you, you wont read it.

you'll soon work out where your 'regular' sections are and just scroll right to them.

I only look in Vic, Forced Ind and one or two others anyhow.

so it doent affect me as i dont look in the extra sections

But that's the problem. Because people will only read the forums that interest them most, the smaller forums (bodykits, tyres, whatever) will be more or less empty. When you have a question, expect to wait a week or more for a reply, as opposed to the two minute wait for the same reply in the General Forum.

hehe all this over a stagea and cefiro section?

basically the general automotive was split up because there was too many non skyline related posts amongst skyline related ones. Being a skyline forum, it is better to focus on skylines only in one area and whatever others in the other area.

The reason stageas and sedan sections have been opened is because of the growing number of users that own them on the forum. Seeing as they have no other place to frequent AND that they are so closely related to skylines, they have their own sections. If you don't have a stagea or cefiro, this won't affect you anyway.

Bodykits and aero, well, its a modification. I mean if someone has enough brains to post about turbos in the forced induction section, then I'm sure they can post about bodykits and post in that one.

Other than that there hasn't been any other changes, other than a simple reordering of the same forums.

Guys, give the new system a go for a couple of weeks before you start bashing it. It took us ages to work out a good layout and we're stil testing it.

This is the point though.

So funkymonkey has a question about this awesome bodykit he saw on the road, and wants it for his car. That bodykit is actually developed by my good mates at ABC Fibreglass.

But since it has been seperated from the Skyline Automotive forum, and I don't have enough interest in bodykits to click on that forum and read it, that question might go unanswered for 2 weeks until someone else can answer the question, whereas if it was still part of the Skyline Automotive forum, which I read, I would have answered it within 5 minutes, with contact number, price and availability.

The effect of splitting up different topics into different forums might seem like a tidier layout, but it has the follow-on effect of placing threads into forums that very few people read, as they don't have enough interest in that forum to regularly read it, but can answer the questions posed in there straight away if it were presented to them in their commonly read forums.

ok so you guys don't like the bodykit section... fair call, i wouldn't check in that (but then again I keep hitting the new posts button everytime I come in).

what about the rest? that leaves the stagea and cefiro sections.... which were both requested by the owners of these cars.

"Other imports" so far hasn't exactly had any response, so I dunno bout that one.

Guys, please, instead of coming in here and just saying you dont like it, how about you give some opinions as to what would make it better. I am trying to accomodate for a lot of people. I understand that Cefiros are not skylines, but a lot of our members have bought Ceffys or other imports since owning a skyline and I dont want them to be forced to post elsewhere because they dont have anywhere here.

There were not that many changes made in all honesty, just grouped differently.

Give us some constructive feedback so we can make the site better for you.

Christian

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
