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.

    • 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.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
