Thats the type of kits n sh!t I had to deal with at sinergy, nightmare. With side skirts etc wood fails as it doesn't bring the car high enough to get under the skirts lol Absolute nightmare!

Nisskid your car is hardly heaps low? But anyway sometimes wood isn't thick enuf so you can get the arms underneath the car to the chassie rail

lol, i think ull find it doesnt look low because it doesnt have a gay kit on it or hektik 18's, to give u an idea, the cat was scraping on the road when i was doing 3-point turns because of the camber of the road.

but yeh, the kits are an issue, but the actual arm is only about 7cm thick, so all id need to do is put u up onto a 5cm thick block of wood, and the arm will slide under easily.

What is it with people dissing kits these days ?

With the right wheels etc they look tough.

BN kits with massive offset wheels look tough. Sometimes I think I'm reading the grandpa gogo mobile forums

nah for the most part kits look tryhard and massive offset is extravagant wank

im for the james bond school of design, not the paris hilton mindset

subtlety over gaudy vomit

-D

Edit - yet to see a kit for the r32 gtr that beats the stock standard bodykit - cant fake those curves baby

kits are gay.

*shrug*

im a fan of factory aero.

and seriously, most kits you see have been executed horribly.

Yes. ofcourse executed kits are bad. Im not talking about half hanging of veilside kits . My old 33 with BN and nice wheels looked neat. wasnt some backyard job.

Not really. Some cars are absolutely f**ked up from a design point of view, and you don't need to even start a poll.

Drift cars look cool because they are functional for what they do. I laugh when I see a street car with drift kit and the butthole has to spend a good minute negotiating the local HJ's carpark

The bodykit I'm talking about is the stupid stuff that leaves you with a couple mm worth of clearance from the wheels and the ground, the sorta stupid kit that is flared out widebody style, and the kits that have loads of these vents for braking channels, engine bay flow, cabin flow, boot lip flow

IMHO practicality beats everything else. For a serious street car I dont know why anyone would get the really low wide and flared kits ... if u want to impress 16 year old girls or want to have your own bay at autosalon, go for it, but I personally would rather have a performance car with the right suspension, wheel offset, castor and camber to do some serious driving on our roads, rather than just being some pretender to the throne - theres a big diff between street and track spec, so why run a show car with trac spec suspensions and offset? Theres no point trying to rock a skyline in J-spec suspension on A-spec roads.

Some fair points.

I dont have a BN . or a massive kit on the 34. not because of just looks , but because I found the other kit impossible to drive around in.

People have diff opinions on looks. could go on forever without a result.

However. I wasn't trying to be a drift king on the streets with my BN kit. ? Not all people do. Some people like the look. I did, with the right wheels. real paint. No poofy other shit. just neat and tough. Nothing wrong with the more subtle look. Which is what im going for now with standard nismo kit. minus gay wing. Just sticking up for some people and their voice.

You think my 33 up there looks like vomit ?

whenever i get new tyres from Beaurepairs at Warradale/Somerton Park they drive my car up onto 4 rubber blocks so they can fit a jack under my car, since the front bar hits (yes hits not scrapes) on the hoist.

as i mentioned, my hoist only needs like 10cm clearance, so unless ur rails are 1cm off the ground, then a wooden block is enough to get enough clearance.

maybe these other hoists people are using are higher, but all i know is its easier to get my hoist in underneath, than a jack.

      I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies.

      It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest.

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      By PranK · Posted

      Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks!

      It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers

      Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
