hay james

i think the new looks is ok but very hard to read and understand, too many dark shades used in the colours but thats just my thoughts.

and also when loged in it does not remember you if you come back to the site 5 mins later like it used to do ( and yes i clicked the remember me button)

Wow - the post cout is back!

Look at James - he's such a post whore.

PS - I think this new layout is GHEY. But thats just me.

Also - I know the members section still exists somewhere but we all have to wait to up uploaded into the new database.

You can't delete old posts, that's annoying.. Unlike the rest of you whores I like to keep my post count small & recent :O I like deleting old posts from the spotted thread also, so its harder for any random person to keep track of my usual whereabouts etc etc but still be able to identity people I pass..

Tiny text is slowly sending me blind.. and I'll second that whinge, I want my 180 back, stuff this rb25 crap! :O

I was happy with the old forums.. why the change?

I was happy with the old forums.. why the change?

they were changed as they were numerous back end problems with the old versions of phbb and the developers/support werent able to help any more, or so i read in the feedback section anwyay. the site is a bit average. almost turns me off reading them all the time now cos they are much more unfriendly and a lot of the stuff isnt obvious. i cant work out new threads and which ones have new posts etc

im sure they will work it all out, just have to wait i guess. also no quick post is poo so i just have to reply to the last post in the thread in the meantime

Yeah the text is way way way too small.

And i think we need the post preview thing back (as stated above)..

This was what differentiated us from those nissan silvia louts! It saves heaps of time otherwise spent trawling through endless posts of people wanting rad BOV sounds and asking the difference between a skyline and a silvia etc etc. Especially if you are still on dialup.

there are a few cool features, like new PM's being displayed at the top of the page when you refresh while browsing ;)

however...

Where the hell did the TRADER RATINGS Go!??!!? And the subscribed thread listwent, but i'm hoping that it just hasn't been restored yet.

And i agree it's a lot harder to read than before. And not just the font size, but the layout too. I started the day trying to be optimistic, but nope i don't like it. Also PM space was chopped from 200 to 100 :rolleyes: bugger, so i did a nice big cleanout of crap i'd had sitting there for a while.

beh oh well...

well I liked it at first because often a change is refreshing.. but now its just bloody annoying me.. this crazy colour scheme and the text size.. my eyes are falling out of their sockets.. and changing the display on IE is a no no because it effects what you look at when your not on SAU as well.. bitch bitch bitch.. still annoyed about the quick reply thing.. and as someone said the thread preview I like that....

But on a good note.. I like the way when you are going through threads you can 'jump to page' so you just chuck in the page number you want and it's there.. no pressing buttons for ages and ages....

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
