thanks bro,

i agree 100% with what your saying to. every time something shit is said its someone with 5,000 posts or more :P . (im not talking about you, if your in the RH9 max respect bro)

this isnt how things should be. these guys should be the main support in here.

Care to show a link or example about what you mean?

Also, depending on what section most of it is just taking the piss, a lot of us have known each other a long time and have met up personally etc even if we are in different states etc.

Maybe your just over sensitive or have no sense of humour, i have found this place to be a lot more help full and a more enjoyable place to be than ausrotary, i found a few good people on ausrotary but most of the people there were dreamers, there is a much higher level of knowledge on here than there was on ausrotary, maybe it is because of the smaller following on ausrotary but this is definitely the better place to be.

Also after reading the thread on BUYER PROTECTION you seem like an argumentative prick who has no ability to see some one else's point of view and will argue about every little non relative point and make your self look like a dick, maybe thats why your copping shit.

Yeah this seems to be a pretty common forum problem ay. Yes it happens too much on this forum but there are certainly worse out there (cough, antilag, cough) I'v always wondered if a name and shame keyboard warriors thread would help?

On smaller forums this problem can be minimised by moderators but on a forum this big? they certainly have their work cut out

(side note: why do the haters always drive shitboxes? All the guys running nice cars always seem to be really helpful. life lesson perhaps?)

I've never has any problems on here and I'm far from 'in the establishment'. I've seen you post some stuff that makes me not surprised at all to hear this has been your experience.

Agree SAU is by the far best im a member of, you ask a stupid question you will get mild flamage, but hey learn to use search first eh? So many people so willing to answer questions and with very good info.

There is definatley other out there that are far worse, namley the one previoulsy mentioned in this thread.

I guess its like anything else in life, act like a dick, get treated like a dick.

It's true that you will get some slaps from the more experienced guys if you advocate 'street racing'.

As per your posts in Hooons thread. Eg; your comment street racing is the only sport you can take pride in these days, track days in perfect conditions are for geeks that dont know how to drive.

You get only a small amount of tollerence for being younger and less experienced with high performance cars but, plenty of support for listening to good advice and lots of the guys on here have done heaps for noobs starting out to help them get up and running for track days including donating time and materials.

However, when it comes to the ricer / boy racers these people have nothing but, punter/ordinary driver skill as they have never invested in performance training days and certainly never had a track day to hone skills. Yet they think somehow some freak driver gene has been passed down to them and because they impress thier peers (who also can't drive for crackers).

I had a conversation with a young friend of the family with much the same attitude as many young blokes including yourself (perhaps?) that went along the lines of him asserting that he had 'mad skillz' and could drive his modded gtst within 99% of it's abillity. He certainly bashed it around historically and came off the road plenty of times but, I challenged him that I could get into his car without experience in it and make him look like a brown hatted old man driver on legal track environment. I said that he was " a shit driver because he's never had a real driving lesson in his life". He bet me $50 I was wrong.Long story short I took his money.

Most of the grief is out of concern to see you live to enjoy the car and a good chunk is to avoid the negative press that the low skill driver + skyline = crash gets the rest of us.

Track days are awesome and the first time you get to wring the neck of your car like you never have it's the best feeling. You are pushing the car on a road specifically designed to drive as hard as you can. This can be either the drag strip or the circuit, even if the street was legal and you took the people off it, it's a miserable place to try and get the most out of the car. Take your car to the track and I guarentee you will agree.

Having said all this, I'm only going off your comments that may have caused the grief. Not suggesting that this is who you are or that you can't change your veiws given half a chance :D

Nope, pretty sure he is exactly what we all think he is.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Bu...on-t287422.html Read that thread of his and tell me you don't want to kick him in the side of the head for every time he says bro and thinks he is part of the Cribs. Without risking getting banned for swearing and expressing what i think about people like him, ill just leave it at that.

I dont really want to kick him or hurt him after reading that.

BUT

I do want to tell him to put the crack pipe down, and he needs to HTFU.

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.

      2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.

      I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.
