But I do agree with carlo...the grammatical standards around here are terrible! The post about the last stolen GTR...man, so hard to read,...

Argh!

That post about the GTR shit me to tears!

Everytime I tried to read that post, and don't ask me why I kept trying, I came away with a headache and had to walk away from the PC for 10 mins.

I get pretty lazy when it comes to proper punctuation because sometimes it's just quicker to not put it in. But usually thats just in SMS's.

But, SMS speak..... well that drives me nuts!

Especially when older people do it. Like when your Mum messages you or something. Grrrrrrr.

ANd I really don't understand the need for it on a forum, as you have an unlimited amount of space in which to type.

And if anyone even tries to say that it takes less time I'll take their SMS speak and stick it fair up their........ :kick:

I totally agree with Carlo - The standard of sentence structure and gramatical poise in some posts is close to non existant.

The use of abbreviations is atrocious and totally unnecessary. Ignorance in spelling is abhorrent and signifies a complete injustice of why my taxes go to the public education system.

Get over the gangster talk and revert back to the Queen's English - It is much more palatable.

:P

haha that is gold.

i think the problem is that a lot of new pc's must be optioned with:

']That's rich! That has improper use of the English language in it. It's 'a lot' not 'alot'. Also, you can't say 'I'm no english professor' as that isn't the proper way to use the term.

No offence intended. Just thought I would attack the attacker! HAHA

i like you.

so hard to read, not to mention the guy who Puts A Capital Letter At The Beginning Of Every Word For Reasons I Don't Know Of. Or da friggin gansta rapa who fink he a nigga bitch.

the upercase letter at the begingin of each letterusually happens when you type everything in upercase.

Dude just cause i cant spell very well and my grammer isnt that great doesnt mean i went to a public school, not that there is anything wrong with that. Its that you assume that becasue people cant spell or put together a grammatically correct sentance you think that they are dumb and went to a public school. *** man if u think that it true, get out more. Get over the steriotypes *spelling* i went to a "private catholic selective all boys" school located on the lower north shore, and im not a little stuck up rich kid. I work hard and earn my way, and mummy and daddy dont help me. Its the same the other way around, my gf went to killara high and there are so many rich kids there that mummy and daddy pay their way left right and center.

Get over the steriotype.

B-Man is De- Man!

I also feel that the standard of illiteration in this electronic tome is perhaps not quite up to the level of a prepubescent.

On the other hand, there are some whose verbosity verges on the downright painful.

Alas the prolixity overwhelms me, and thus I am forced to conclude that our mother planet is full of plebian masses.

Whats all this about public schooling? & its relation to abusing l337?

Using that crap on the Somthing Awful forums will see you losing your posting rights quick smart.

Say hello to Vodafone $500 capped plan ($79.95). Sometimes I use 165 characters and still it send, who cares when u basically have 2000 free sms/mth.

i'm on an optus business plan... 17c for 5 mins to any mobile + free time + yes weekend... not planning on changing contracts any time soon :)

my sms's are usually destined for malaysia, because my gf is workin over there atm, otherwise I'd just call people as I really cbf typing out sms's.

...

And what's public schools got to do with the quality of english? I went to a public school (Epping Boys' in NSW) and did 3U English for my HSC, and I'm pretty sure my school helped me cane many a private school english student's butt in the final exams.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
