Valid points there D_Stirls, especially regarding to the importance some people place towards postcounts. However I think that's the whole point of the Wasteland, an "off topic" section for users to talk about things other than cars.

the problem with the wasteland because it isn't a section it's a single topic you can have a concise conversation about a specific topic because it gets lost in the rest of the dribble.

P.S. Damo was just an example that came to mind not meant to single him out, it must be his average of 11 posts per day that drew my attention.

I get what you're saying Dale but it would be more crap to moderate, hence from where we stand, the wasteland thread is more than enough.

To create a subforum as you've mentioned would be something that Christian (aka Prank) would have to establish.

I know Andrew may come across as tough occasionally but I have to back him in what he's trying to achieve, ie not taking any ideas from ns in the way they do things and remaining true to the original concept and idea behind this forum.

yeah i agree.

a fair few valid points that i have made/questions asked have fallen on deaf ears in here.

cant complain, cos on the other hand i have derailed a few good convos too :(

yeah i know Heslo, but when people say post whore, the finger is usually pointed at me, but i can name a handful of others (not just in sa) who actually whore around without any contructive posts.

is it coz my e-penis is bigger carl? :(

im just on alot, i contribute to alot of stuff. oh well. if you have a look around the sa section, the threads have been staying on topic lately, has anyone else noticed?

well you need more moderators then, that's easily solved. You may knock NS.com but it is one of the biggest performance forums in the world so they must be doing something right, and despite popular opinion they do actually have some reasonably tough moderators.

lol

i reckon that this can be put down to the mods being moar active :)

IMO a good thing... not a fan of ns.com factor

.:EDIT:. good point D_Stirls, i think its just the user : mod ratio that lets it get out of control

i would love to see a line up of the top 10 Average posters per day.

Cos i know you would be claiming Steve would be up there but his average is only 6.4

Edited by D_Stirls

yeah fair point, i can think of other users who have also only posted "don't mind me, just whoring through" or similar.

i dont think the state of the sa forum is as bad as it is made out to be, the moderators are not only doing there job well but the users have stayed generally on topic in alot of the threads.

Dale, no i wouldn't claim him in that top 10. Wtf is everyone trying to claim here? Are we trying to point out "over-active users"?

One of the threads you may be referring to might be Amanda's pregnancy thread, yeah?!

This thread was started well before the tougher rules were enforced and to shut that down now when she's ready to give birth would be plain heartless.

TBH That was the most off topic thread I've ever seen

Do you people really believe I give 2 shits about children, the procreation, the drama? Sorry if this shits you all off, but this is exactly the point of what andrew is getting at, even tho I know full well I'm twisting his words. I know a bunch of folks who have kids and yeah, they're always very proud and what not, but I have to quote Bill Hicks here and say "Your children are NOT special". Hell. even cockroaches procreate.

Yeah fair enough, if someone wants to share something cool like having a kid, leave it to wasteland. But straight up, that thread contained a hell of a lot of bitching about the "other half" which leaves us with one half of a story. At that stage, I tuned out. How many pages has that thread gotten to, within 9 months?

If you need someone to talk to or vent, fair enough but picking a car forum at random and venting to people you hardly know publicly... cmon dawg... thats not what this is for...

Mods. Don't pretend there is a grey area here. Its black and white.

Signing off, one heartless bastard.

-D

Sorry but i must as he just said every thing i have been thinking for the past 8>9 months.

+1

And that is meant as +1 to what he was saying not my post count :lol:

Sorry i should have written "SOME" not "YOU".

Just out of interest who do you think would be on that list cos' i can't think of any, well any that i haven't just look at.

    • It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...
    • Connect all the plumbing up properly. The actual worst part about having the turbo unable to actually build boost, is you can and likely would over soon the turbo if you drove the car (free rev while stationary isnt likely to manage it).   If you do have an air leak as Duncan suggested, you'll have a bad time as the AFM will be saying different to reality.   As you have had the engine out, I'd go over all electrical connections again. If you have a consult cable, plug it in, and see what the ECU thinks is going on. Did you touch the timing belt? If so, double check your timing on the gears is correct AND put a timing light on it while it's idling and see what ignition setting you have. Is the AFM you've installed the one that was in the car previously? You said you replaced seals, what seals exactly? What have you had apart?   From memory when I had my RB25DET with factory throttle, there was two plugs the TPS plug on the loom could go to. One would leave the car running like shit, the other made it work, I think one plug on the TPS area was for something else (an option). It's too many years since I saw that part of the loom to remember properly though.   Is the car idling smooth (as smooth as an RB can)? Does it smell fuelled up?   I have a feeling either timing in timing belt is off, or a sensor isn't right.
    • Theres still skid pan and motokhana days up in QLD at least that are $100 or less. The ones that are ran as "driver training" less so, they're expensive, but just normal skid pan days like SAU ran are still low cost. And thats one of the places I learned to be a lariken, purely by asking for passenger rides, and how people were doing crazy things. Reese gave me plenty of pointers back in the day for skid pan! And yes Duncan, I will never forget your pointers for track work. Especially after Neil got out saying "I am NEVER getting in the car with him again!" 😛
    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
