Prompted by a new post regarding head torque on a RB20, I decided to test out the Search functions on the forums.

In the "Search by Keywords" box, I typed in: torque +"cylinder head" (as per the advice in the "Advanced Usage" sidebar), from 180 days and newer

then searched.

Among the threads returned, I ended up with:

"Porting RB26 Cylinder Head", by Mik, from Oct 13, 2005.

Now, be buggered if I can find both terms anywhere in that thread.

So, is the search engine so bloody finnicky, or am I just too stupid to understand how to make it work properly (if so, how should I have constructed the query?)

yeh the search function on this forum software is severely lacking...

try:

+torque +"cylinder head"

every term you want in the search must have a + so it reads as:

find all threads that contain torque AND the term "cylinder head"

if you leave out the first plus you get

find all threads that contain torque OR the term "cylinder head"

Or you can try torque on its own

Might bring up a lot of threads, but you can skim over the pages it will return pretty quickly by thread titles.

Might take 5mins longer, but thats how i do it.

I make it an general as i can within the topic im looking for.

Cant say ive had a problem yet

I can now see why ypeople can't get anything out of <search>.

Just tried to retrieve a For Sale I put up last week. Entered my user_name in the <Filter by member name>, and specified "Last 30 days" <or newer>. Search Classifieds + all sub-forums. My thread was not among the single thread returned.

I knew that the title was "Garage Sale", so I tried both "garage" and "+garage" in the <Search by keywords> field (all the other fields as above).

On both occasions, all I got was:

"Unfortunately your search didn't return any results."

today i tried to do a search for *mines* about my gtr ecu but cME back with couldnt find anything

then after a few comments in new post a made about it a mod must have done a search and found stuff and linked it into my thread then locked the thread which i dont think is justified when the search engine is full of bugs not working properly.

I locked your thread :)

I searched using "mines"

I can 100% say its definately working, sometimes the search button is a little funny, but i just tried it again and i came up with the same results for "mines"

However, i bet you forgot the following crucial search option, and thats why it is not working for you.

You must change the Search posts from... box if you wish to search back further

The default is 30 Days...

You must change this depending on how far back you wanna go. I used 365 days

Cheers

      Rebuilt Rb25det issues

      By KyoyaR33 · Posted

      Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated

      Well, no. It's an 023, which is pretty similar to an 040. Although it is hard to tell from the specs, as given.

      My R32 Money Pit & The Headaches That Come With It

      Hmm. Maybe the (other thing I forgot about!) Haltech removes at least some, if not all, of the problem I described. I guess there is still the possibility of getting it wrong if the AC is set up/wired up for the Haltech as if it was in an R34 (simply because it's on a Neo), and that's playing foul with the R32 AC computer.

      Glad it eventually came out Duncan!   I believe that might be 040. 044 is the inline pump, so has screw fittings in and out. 040 is more just drop it in fuel and the bottom is "open" (mesh) from my memory
