It's too granular, and you end up with heaps of dead sub-forums

Suggestions:

Consolidate into "International"

  • North NZ
  • South NZ
  • Canada
  • United States

Consolidate into "Photography & Art"

  • Computer ARt
  • Photography

Nearly tempted to say we should have sub-forums within each of the "eras" of Skylines something like

1953-1988 Classics

  • Forced Induction
  • General Maintenance
  • Suspension & Braking

1986-2002 RB Series

  • Forced Induction
  • General Maintenance
  • Suspension & Braking

2002-Present VQ Series

  • Forced Induction
  • General Maintenance
  • Suspension & Braking

Kinda get the idea? At the moment feels like there are too many sub-forums and people post everywhere

Stunned that you posted this. I had just today started drafting a new forum structure to ask the mods. Eery.

I'm wondering if the skyline series forums you posted will be too granular? Do we have an R35+ forum?

We need to get some people to provide feedback.

Kinda, it's here:

https://www.sau.com.au/forums/forum/80-vr-series-r35-gtr-juke-r/

Could do:

  • Classics (S, C, R30)
    • General
    • Engine Modifications
    • Suspension, Braking & Body
  • R31~34
    • General
    • Engine Modifications
    • Suspension, Braking & Body
  • V35~V37
    • General
    • Engine Modifications
    • Suspension, Braking & Body
  • R35
    • General
    • Engine Modifications
    • Suspension, Braking & Body

Then consolidate all of the Automotive Category and/or move the threads into the appropriate new structure

I kind of like the above as stated by OP. My only comment is where would Build Threads/Upkeep go? I really like these threads and are where I spend quite a bit of time. 

Could we also add a Build Thread into here like this:

1986-2002 RB Series

  • Forced Induction
  • General Maintenance
  • Suspension & Braking
  • Build / Upkeep 

I too like the idea of sorting by generation of Skyline. It's how my mind thinks about these cars. I know an awful lot about R32, R33 and R34, but couldn't tell you the first thing about a R35 (ok, well maybe the first thing, but not much else).

I think builds still need to be top level and include all cars.

Yes that would be good so something like:

  • For Sale / WTB, blah blah
  • Car Builds blah blah
  • General Discussion / News, etc..
  • Classics (S, C, R30)
    • General
    • Engine Modifications
    • Suspension, Braking & Body
  • R31~34
    • General
    • Engine Modifications
    • Suspension, Braking & Body
  • V35~V37
    • General
    • Engine Modifications
    • Suspension, Braking & Body
  • R35
    • General
    • Engine Modifications
    • Suspension, Braking & Body

And bin the rest (but amalgamate the content)

Way too many forums, sub forums, way too much dilution

So, what if we had just general sub forums, like;

* Classics 
* R31 - R34
* V-series
* R35
* Other Japanese
* Euros

And we didn't have any sub forums underneath them ? 

Also, its going to take a bit of work re-categorising these, having general areas will be helpful there too.

We can force the use of tags so people need to pick from wheels, brakes, suspension yadda yadda to make it easier to find content rather than extra categories.

 

Thoughts?

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
