Not sure if you got my PM, I might have incorrectly sent it to the wrong person. It said the following:-

Hey mate, could you please reopen that thread long enough for me to post the reply that I have been typing for the past 20 minutes.

It's a bit harsh the attitude you guys take to an honest question. I thought this was a place for helping people. You get so many tools on here that you put up with, so many moronic posts, but for some reason I post an honest dilemma that is really eating me up and you shut me down. I'm sorry I don't know you at all like probably all your other mates on here, but once again your attitude is uncalled for.

Please reopen the thread for 5 minutes so I haven't completely wasted my time and then you may close it.

Thankyou.

It was refferring to the following thread:-

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=97698

The people responding kindly took their time to genuinely help me, and yet for some reason I must have offended someone?

You asked something that that comes up over and over on the forums - will the PFC work on an auto?

Paul's FAQ is spot on, as are all the responses in that thread.

As Ash (Nismoid) said, nothing is going to change that.

I found over 15 threads with this question on the forum, and the same answers.

By the way, if you really want definitive proof, read this here. Someone's done it, and the results were exactly as stated in your thread.

I think it was perfectly fair to close it.

you were trying to claim there was an element of doubt to something that is pretty much proven to most people to be a waste of time.

you'll never get 100% people to agree, because there is always some tool who thinks their mates brothers dog got it running fine on their auto skyline, etc.

it does get asked every few weeks.

Man you guys are tough! If I had posted a thread that asked the question, "What colour underpants are you wearing today?" I'm sure it would be heralded as the greatest thread on SAU!

I still have questions related to this topic, and I was hoping to point that thread towards a final solution to help me. Of course, it is your board you can treat people as you like.

SK didn't seem to mind helping me, however I seem to have pissed off the mod of that forum because i used up 10K of space. So what if we have yet another thread on this particular topic? There are many others that are duplicated, "that everyone should already know" as well. Nismoid seems to encourage and partake in a lot of them too. Maybe I should have typed my thread using SMS speak so it seemed legitimate.

For the record I have gone through many many searches and reading posts over the years as a member and I still felt the need to post. Yes I did get the general rumoured consensus, but that is not what I was after. It was recommended for me to post from the guy that sells the things in the group buys, because "I reckon you'd turn up some interest and hopefully some answers" so if he thinks it is of interest, then there should be some credence to the topic, albeit ONCE AGAIN, and I thought I would be helping other people as well. As you can see from my history, I don't post very often, so I really felt the need for some help. But that's ok, you should stick to your decision is you feel you were being, "perfectly fair".

Don't expect that everyone is up to your level of knowledge or has heaps of friends they can bounce these topics off. With the database so large now, you have to appreciate that Search does not always offer fruitful results in even a generous amount of time to go through each thread. Of course I used search! Imagine how overwhelmed a newbie would be! Razor had to find a post from 2 years ago that gave me the info I asked for(thanks for that btw, that's what I was after).

In future, you need to at least leave yourselves open to these possibilities and be "fairer" to the people you are meant to be helping.

So you got the answer, was attained by using the search button...

So whats the point?

My point of "it has been covered" has mearly been confirmed.

Sometimes its a case of you have to help yourself, or maybe contact Vijay and he'll hlep you

You haven't offended anyone.

What they're trying to say is that your question (and *ALL* future questions you could possibly ask on the topic of PFC into an auto car) has already been asked in the past, and covered many-a-time.

Personally, I think if it helps a forum member out, I don't think it hurts to have them asked again. Bandwidth is cheap :(

But I'll leave that upto the forum mods. That's what they're there for.

I know is a couple of weeks old but I will add my 2c to this.

I am a moderator on the r31skylineclub website, and can see where the moderators on here are coming from. You get sick and tired of seeing new threads started covering the same information.

Something people need to realise is its everyones responsibility to post in RELEVENT threads than to start a new one.

The reason behind this is simple, when people do a search, they only have to sort through minimal threads which contain all the information they need, rather than sifting through 50 threads with 80% of posts saying "Search fool".

The end result is a "Search function" that actually works! :D

When you are grunted at, and have your thread locked and told to search, don't take it personally, the moderators deal with this stuff day in day out and it gets rather tedious ;)

In the future, as said, find a RELEVANT THREAD, and post in there, who cares if it's 6 months old, point out that is it relevant to the information you need and go from there. Moderators no doubt will respond well to this kind of attitude.

An old saying, "Think before you speak"

Syphon - please refer to post #4.

Can we please have this locked or better still deleted before someone else tries to tell me there is a search function. Selling the Skyline now, so no longer relevant.

Cheers.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
