Ruby, SteveP, 5LTBETR & Deluxe, consider this a friendly early warning.

Noted Sled. Sorry for your headache :P

This all started because I rick rolled ns.com. I thought it funny, they didn't. However, prob started long before that. I go to ns.com for a chuckle, like the guy who reported his car stolen then wanted it back. They're the ones I'm referring too as being stupid. I see that kind of threads on ns frequently. So I'm disliked for pointing out the obvious.

I do not apologise for having a sense of humour ... but I do apologise for the reaction from ns.com spilling over into here.

Yes if someone hates NS - could you tell me why.

Its just weird, I don't really hate any forums but I don't take anything seriously on the internet, so that might be the reason why.

I was running with the Why So Serious thread in ns.com and they got serious. Obviously my humour is above their tolerance, so I've learnt my limits. It could have been dealt with by a Mod deleting the thread and PMing me a warning ... but I got the ban stick immediately. Questionable. The AJD thread, they got stuck into my car, and I ignored them for the most part. They hate me for not playing along, and pointing out the obvious stupidity at times. I do the same thing here.

I don't take the internet seriously. There a lots of kids being something they're not on it. But I do find most of the members I meet rewarding. I find a few forums enjoyable, such as SAU and TLZone (been a member there for over 8 years) due to their members. So regardless if it sound slike I'm rubbing ns.com the wrong way, there is no disrespect to NS.com at all, only certain members.

And for the record, those previous 7 bannings I have incurred are not related at all to the SAU SA club and occured for questionable circumstances, such as:

- for sale thread which was not to their standard, deleted, and before I was notified I noticed it missing and reposted = ban;

- putting a near nude pic of Jessica Alba in my avatar, it was removed and I was warned. I argued there was nothing out of order with the pic and it was tasteful. I was banned for my "talk back";

- when I returned from my holidays for the above mentioned ban, I put a diff pic up (but similar) and got banned for good;

- once got banned without warning from a forum for "violation of rules", but never informed what the offence was. Just never went back;

- got banned from a bike forum too for posting a vid of me doing a burnout. Banned for something like "promotion of hoon behaviour". This was 5 years ago and on private property :(

- once I got banned for good because a mod from a bike forum had a big problem with me, which started over a simple disagreement. We caught up and "sorted it out" and he abused his powers and banned me for good, because he didn't get the favourable outcome.

And now ns.com

Granted, my giggles at ns.com are not in the best interests of the SAU SA club, however I am entitled to whore in wasteland as a forum member, and if I'm out of order I'll take the warning from the Mods. I'm merely a member of the SAU SA club at this time, not a Committee member. If I were, I'd be thinking harder about my posts before I submit them and I would certainly be more professional. And in any case, some ns.com members' dislike for me has no relation to the SAU SA club. :sick:

So ... getting away from that whole mess ...

:D

Of course not ... much. :(

Why so serious?

edit: Hey, hey. I just got a ban from ns.com for the rick roll :sick:

You got banned coz you're a toss, who has no taste in cars (you may as well make Commodore guards for the rear of your wagon...it's the next logical step) and was just plain annoying :P

So ... where is a good place to get silicone hose clamps for an intercooler? I want to replace mine with new ones, but fear being charged too much and can't wait for ebay forever. I've sold my old fmic and piping and the current ones need to go to the buyer. :sick:

Need 2.5" and 3" ... don't want those simple radiator-style clamps either.

If you had the same taste as Ruby than I probably would tell you what I thought. I've been on here for years, it's just that I don't frequent here as much since I got rid of my Skylines.

Don't take it as a stab to SAU. I'm sure there's lots of great members, but having someone like Ruby run your forums is hardly a smart move.

Nevertheless, be assured that what I told him about his car is also what I'd tell him to his face :P

I'm sure you could make plenty of comments about my own, however you probably care as little as I do about the matter, and as such don't have the time to write a detailed explanation of how you feel about what I had to say.

I guess at the end of the day Ruby went to NS.com with the wrong intentions, thought he was funny and didn't read forum rules, and was banned after that.

I tried to suggest a better course of action for his car, and in his blinded, poor styling way told me he HAD taste.

That is clearly not the case.

PS. Ruby, speak to Autobarn, or any other generic supplier. They would have the biggest range in stock, though quality hose is never really cheap. Otherwise call some workshops to see if they have some older stuff lying around.

lol who said ruby runs our forums? you also comment on Ruby not reading forum rules, but you continued to slander him after a moderator posted a warning not to? and if you dont have time to write a detailed explanation, why did you bother coming here?

trust me, i dont care as much as you say you dont, but the wasteland is filling up with bullshit that everyone has just been warned about.

I'm purposely avoiding bagging Ruby too much. At the end of the day I read the warning from the moderator, and as such decided to delete my initial post. I have plenty of time atm. Bit of a quiet time, hence bothering writing here etc.

"Taste" is the eye of the beholder :sick:

I think I got my last clamps from Autbarn previously, but I recalled them being a bit pricey. Super Cheap have some awkward clamps (imo) that don't allow fitment in tight spaces. But if I gotta pay a decent coin, then I've got to. What kind of workshops do you recommend? ATS is a tad far for me to get to during a lunch break.

Any idea if Coventry Fasteners stock suitable clamps? I know they're only a phone call away, but they don't always answer their phones in a hurry.

At least you have brakes as well as the grunt! :( We're all one big happy family when we can all stop and count to 10.

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
