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?

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
