Hi All,

A lot of issues have been raised over the past few months and my sincerest apologies for not responding to you all.

Over the past 10 months or so a lot of errors have started occuring in the forum software, such as;

  • No notifications to me when a user uses the subscriber feature which means that I am not aware until I have been emailed (I have a few users to add today) - this has meant that a lot of people have felt like I have not been appreciative also, this is incorrect - these forums are the way they are because of users who contribute.
  • Search function whacky - it seems to have its good and bad days from what I can gather, we added the google search but its not as good as a fully functioning VB search imho.
  • Post counts have been off for ages and actually decrease over time
  • Total lack of support from the VB team, they have been less than useless
  • Usergroup problems have held me back from adding people to the 'More PM Space' usergroup and other usergroups
  • Many more

I have had a lot of personal problems recently and havent had the time to devote to the forums but this is changing now. VB have left me no option but to consider using the new Invision Power Board forums software which I am about to download and test migrations from the current forums with. IPB will also give us more options as users with a full blog site for each member.

Over the next week I will be evaluating the migration to IPB and will endevour to make sure that each and every one of you knows how much I appreciate you. I know that sounds silly, but I sincerely apologise for these delays and I appreciate your patience.

In the meantime, I am conjuring a list of people who have contributed to the forums and will be making sure each of you get what you have paid for.

Kind Regards,

Christian

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
