So, as long as your point of view was recorded, the thread had to shut just after that??? Removal of aforementioned posts that were potentially libelous and a PM to the post author may have had a better result.

The absolute power corrupts absolutely...

Everyone gave their point of view but when the libelous statements were questioned both in the thread and via pm, there was no response. Personal insults were made and as the thread had degenerated beyond salvation it was closed.

If you see a problem with that then I suggest you report whichever actions/posts you have a problem with to a moderator.

Timberlake: Cry me a riverrrrrrrrrrr

If noel says the clutch was underspecced, im going to belive him.

Forget me crying you a river. What happens when the owners of the forum are issued with legal documents from the business owner? Will you be so smug then?

From a spectator's point, it appears to me, the user in question purchased an appropriately specified clutch that re-used a standard pressure plate that is not anti-burst...

It exploded while being used within the constraints of normal use for such clutch.

Nothing wrong with him reporting on the internet what happened in his specific case, and his opinion of the product through his specific dealings. I don't see how this is a problem for SAU... :)

tbh, I'm more suprised someone of the manufacture's stature in the industry would stick his head in the sand over ths issue...

:)

I appreciate the support guys but let it be. Those of you that know me also know i dont deal in bullshit.

The broken parts are now on my shed wall as a reminder to do more research in future.

Given the amount of liners that grace my shed for various reasons enough will get to see it and draw their own conclusions.

On a positive note the Chair is back together and going to scotts on tuesday for the new dump then fire up and away we go again.

Huge thanks To Dan from Elite Racing developments for his support and talent in screwing the new engine back together and to Shanef, Terry, Wazza, and others for their assistance in reassembling it all.

Stellar work blokes and you have my gratitude.

If you are refering soley to me then yeah i can afford to be smug, ive said nothing to damage a business. I have met noel a few times and know him to be a very decent person within the car community, stating if i belive somone or not on a forum is not a crime.

It's really easy to understand if you try. The job of Moderators/Admins isn't just to move threads into their right sub-forum and dish out warnings when juveniles get personal and abuse other users during school holidays. We have a real role in protecting the owner of this forum from flippant, throw-away comments that could personally impact them financially and legally.

I didn't say you'd said anything libelous about a business but you seem pretty happy for others to do so, even though this practice could put the entire operation of the forum in jeopardy.

If you don't like how the forum is run then I suggest you click the "Report Post" button and have someone else deal with it. I have a feeling you'll get the same answer though.

The point wasn't for everyone to think that it was about them but to simply think about the repercussions if a business owner should choose to take things further. SAU isn't owned by some random faceless blob. There are real people with real assets that can get sued...for real. Basically, this website and forum aren't your private playground.

Just think, guys and girls. That's all I'm saying.

The point that interested me was the contention that an anti burst cover should have been used, no mention of a pressure plate. So I was wondering what an anti burst cover was, a quick google did not turn up anything.

By the pics it looked like the pressure plate had exploded which is a scarey thing, my car has a single plate JB 'full monty' clutch so I'm wondering what sort of pressure plate was used in it. Not a cast one I hope.

Then again what clutch manufacturers give details of the materials used in there pressure plates? Nodular iron is the only one I've heard of.

I'm not going to get involved nor say anythin further then this, but just to remind you that the forum can only be sued if the comments are found to be of defamation character towards the business (in other words, the statements are incorrect/false/lies). If such statements are posted on the users behalf that are correct, then the forum stands the grounds of being allowed to have such comments posted legally as it concludes that the comment posted is in fact correct. If a business cant handle the truth being told to other fellow friends/members/enthusiasts, then they shouldn't be in business at all if they cant handle the bad criticism given.

Also, i didnt see the thread being deleted/hidden so if your worried about the forum being sued, maybe you should delete/hide it as well so you stop ALL posibilties from being sued if your that worried and contact such involved parties within the thread to inform them why it was deleted/hidden.

That's my 2c's.

Enjoy the advise ;)

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
