I know there was a poll about this,

But is there any plans for an iPhone app at all??

It's frustrating coz it doesn't let you reply on the iPhone through Safari, and not to mention the text is really small so you have to zoom in heaps!

I checked a PM that I got the other day on my iPhone and coz the delete button is next to the reply I accidentally pressed delete, then I remembered it doesn't let you reply anyway haha. Unlucky.

Anyway, just wondering...

Don't worry, found all the info here:

I am new here and did not trawl through all the pages of the thread. I have a suggestion that Skylines Aus Forum joins up with Tapatalk. I use it on my HTC android phone and I am sure my mates use if on their iPhones too. It makes viewing the forums a breeze and loads up relly fast on 3G too.

I thouroghly reccomend it!

Check the thread I posted above.

Might have already been mentioned, but in the coles card competition I mentioned the site really needs to improve the FAQ(s).

I just went to click on three very interesting threads, only to see nismoid close them all and say go search. I wouldn't have been annoyed so much had search actually worked to give me the answer on the first page, but it really didn't, and reading through multiple 50+ page threads to find where the hell your search matched a term... is just annoying.

TBH 15-20 of the most 'knowledgeable' guys should compile a real QnA FAQ so people can find what they are after without being slapped with "GO SEARCH FOR IT".

And they were all found within 30 seconds of using the search - in terms of the answers.

Which one do you want to know more about?

All users PM'd me as the lock message said, was just a simple case of them not using the best search parameters.

Can't have a FAQ for every single option/choice known to man :)

No, most definitely not. Largest "bolt In" Rb26 Twin Turbos for example. Not in the first 3 pages is there a directly/similarly named thread, so even though the answer kindof lies in some of the thread results.... Anyway, pretty sure a FAQ would answer most of those type questions, though it would take time and effort I know.

Again it just comes down to you not using the search correctly.

I typed in "largest lowmount"

2nd result was this thread:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/312245-largest-set-of-factory-located-twins-on-rb26-r32/

:thumbsup:

Can't get any easier than that mate. Sorry to say but you simply did not use the search well enough, and that was the first search i tried.

Got another example?

Eh to be fair that doesn't contain "bolt-on" and a noob might not know bolt-on = lowmount (well doesn't really, but pretty close). I do agree search terms come into it, hence the FAQ where you can simply push ctrl + f and find every reference of turbo etc ;)

In forsale section under car parts, subs forums like Wheels, Engine Parts, Interior...

something like that make it easier for people to find what they are looking for instead of searching through endless pages

just an idea :)

just curious, on the old forum, did you get notified when you got a warning? i had 1 warning on the old forum and i am sure that i got a message when it happened saying what i had done wrong, but since we have been on the new 3.0 forum i've gotten 2 warnings and only know the reason behind 1 of them, and that was only because it was mentioned in the thread i got it in that many of us got a warning, but i have no idea why i got the other 1, or even when.

my point is, wouldn't it be a good idea to be notified when a warning is given so that we know what we did wrong and not to do it again? how else will people know when they have broken the rules? i certainly don't pay much attention to my warning level, and i'm sure many others don't (since some don't even know there is a warning level), so you could have people suddenly getting told they are getting a holiday for having too many warnings yet they don't even know that they have a warning. it would be like getting a letter in the mail saying you have lost your licence but having never been sent a fine for anything. it really makes the term "warning level" rather innaccurate. maybe it should be renamed "marks against your permanent record".

Hey guys firstly i would like to say what a fantastic website this is! Extremely helpful to me!

I was thinking the other day that in the for sale section for private parts or for all parts/cars etc.. being sold that there should be a field when listing a new thread about what state that member is in so that it makes it a lot easier and quicker for the person looking for parts. also would be good if that showed up next to the topic so that you didnt have to click in to find it out. would save a LOT of time for people :)

Just an idea :)

hi guys i searched for this in this topic but got 0 results so I thought id be first to say it...maybe intro of a like/dislike button (such as used on yt fb etc..) on actual thread/topic of actual posts put up by people on the thread....i thought it would be useful and handy in situation where person AA has many likes to the OP's question (would be sort of a quick reference for people who aren't bothered looking at the whole thread or maybe just need to see if the topic they check out is on the right track or whatever. or simply just as a like and/or dislike that works on yt and fb etc...

    • I know why it happened and I’m embarrassed to say but I was testing the polarity of one of the led bulb to see which side was positive with a 12v battery and that’s when it decided to fry hoping I didn’t damage anything else
    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
