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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
