This has already started. Its going to take some time so we can continue to discuss in here as I get stuff done. 

The R35 GTR For Sale and WTB sections are now gone. I have tagged the topics with migrate-from-277-r35-gt-r-wtb and migrate-from-276-r35-gt-r-for-sale. I'm keeping a spreadsheet which I'll share at the end. If we think we made a mistake the tags will allow us to further refine the setup.

Yeah the order was intentional. I had a mental model of user engagement:

new user

gets to know their car

gets to know their local community

gets to know wider community

The first round is complete!!

You'll notice a lot of merged and migrated forums.

I havent touched Australia yet and theres some others I haven't made a decision on.

Any feedback welcome.

Prolly need a post in here where you can keep tabs of what got moved where. So, for example, 146 drivetrain and transmission just got dealt with. It would be good to know where you can find the content that used to be in there, and same same for the others that got shifted.

I mean - I can see where 146 ended up, with suspension and all, but not all such merges might be so easy to parse.

You know how I know I'm getting old? Because I feel this quote jells with me and SAU Forums, ha ha ha. I've gotten lost a few times as I had muscle memory to scroll to where I wanted on my phone and just click, now I'm lost... Ha ha ha

 

 

"I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary."

After a few weeks with the new layout, I'm thinking....

Change "Engines & Forced Induction" to "Brooom brooom pssht!"

Change "Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain" to "Rattle rattle, shriek, crunch".

Will be better.

"Rattle rattle shriek crunch", could really be RB26 Engines though...

Can we unpin a bunch of dead / irrelevant threads from:

https://www.sau.com.au/forums/forum/8-engines-forced-induction/

New players at home will scroll and think this forum is dead.

Hmmm. that's a tough one. There's a lot of history bundled up in that lot.

Perhaps instead we can create a new pinned thread, called "Legacy Pinned Threads" and provide links to the these ones that will be unpinned in there. And maybe put the names of the pinned threads that are linked inside in the tags so they can seen from the outside? Or something like?

I mean, it's half a step back towards having a more complicated forum structure, without actually having it. But there's a reason that heirarchical architectures exist. They are logical, and if executed properly, make it easy to find something without having any upfront knowledge of where it would be , and without using a search function.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
