Whats The Deal With Free Advertising On This Section?

As the title says.....

The R35 section is about half full of people who work for tune shops or sell parts from their shops and they advertise them in here for free and admins seem to be turning a blind eye to it.

If I was one of the companies that sponsors these forums for advertising purposes like Just Jap, i'd be pretty pissed off.

So can I advertise in the R35 section for free aswell? It seems to be the cool thing to do.

Do you know how much notice I take of people who throw accusations around like 'admins seem to be turning a blind eye' ?

Very little.

On the other hand, if a post was made saying 'Hey, I have noticed that this and that is happening and was curious about why that is' or even 'were you aware that this was happening?' then I'd be all ears (or eyes). Until you can post like that you can bugger off.

it's not complex. if you feel a post violates the forum's policy on advertising then just hit the report post button. that way moderators/admins will have a chance to review the posts in question and make a value judgement. it's anonymous (as far as other users go) and effective.

moderators can not read all posts all the time. that's why we have the report post system in place. or even just PM your mod/admin of choice and link them to it.

not that it really needs much explanation but we have in the past allowed a bit of latitude in the R35 section due to it being a burgeoning parts industry. in the beginning there was not much available for R35s and people needed and wanted access to information about what products were available and where from. some users have pushed that a bit far and it's been discussed in the admin section and action has been taken and users warned/contacted where appropriate. if you think something is still going on that contravenes the policies and spirit of the forum then give specific examples to a moderator. just making wild statements of a general nature won't achieve anything other than offending people who donate their time to the forum.

      I swear at my GKTech ones every time I have to take them apart and replace a spherical. But I wouldn't swap them for anything else. They absolutely slay every other option, at least in terms of how they actually work. You sure you don't want to live with bearings? I mean, they don't have "ball bearings". They are rod ends and sphericals throughout. Tough as nuts, even though I have found more than one way to wear them out.

      From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro

      Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.

      Slight segway but the most expensive part of the whole thing which I would have thought would only be required for an engine size/type swap, not a VIV test, is emissions testing.  That's when you get into the big bucks.  I can't remember the exact price now but I got quotes for the GT-R based on swapping to RB30 (not that anyone bothers doing it legally anymore...) and it was around $4500 just for that alone.  The guy that does them manipulates the tune on the vehicle to make sure it passes.  The cheaper option is to book into Kangan Batman Tafe (I think that's where it was) and hire their tester.  Allegedly you're not allowed in there with the car though so not in a position to tweak anything to make sure the vehicle passes.  I'm sure in this day and age of ultra tuneable ECU's you could get the tuner to program a special efficiency (clean) tune that emits the lowest amount of particulates possible that would pass the test.  It might only make 50kW's but as long as it passed who cares!

      I'm sure he has left signs, or, he is looking down, laughing That's my cunning plan for when I leave, lots of half finished projects, with no rhyme or reason of where I was actually up to, just to keep everyone on their toes
