Ok let me get out in the first sentence the fact that I’m not trying to be an arsehole here, it’s just a friendly argument. Think of it as sport.

Charly – it’s a quote from a movie which I think is pretty cool. It’s there as a clue to my personality.

Nismo Boy – that’s pretty close to racism mate. If that was an insult, get some better ones. If it was a joke, not really funny but it’s not like anyone around here is going to hold it against you.

Predator – I didn’t intend to judge his whole person, just his comment, so yeah, technically fair call on your part but I think you could have worked that one out. Sorry if I was unclear there.

SmoothLine – “I welcomed her as I would any other new member, in a light hearted fun way...

We are all about having fun here... you wouldnt know that because what we do is of no relevance to you personally...

We have quite a few females in our little family and they all get along just the same as if they were male...”

You still didn’t address the issue.

My point is that you didn’t welcome her as you would any other new member. Do you ask guys to post a photo of themselves? I agree that your tone was light hearted and I am actually sorry that I jumped down your throat like that but I didn’t think a subtle comment would have been noticed.

I’m all for fun but to use an obviously extreme analogy for effect; if in deep south USA a century or two ago a couple of drunk white boys killed a black man or girl they probably thought they were having fun. We know it’s wrong but they didn’t think so. Does that make it alright though?

As for relevance to me; you live in the same country as I do and post on the same forum as I do and I was embarrassed for you even if you weren’t. The fact that Anna wasn’t bothered by it is irrelevant because it’s comments like yours that make girls avoid predominately male domains such as this. I like girls and I’d prefer if there more of them about so that bothers me.

Strutto – we can moderate ourselves here I think. As long as people can hold back from name calling (he he, hypocrite :Oops: ).

Gor33 – you back me up with your comments and then put your money on SmoothLine! Bastard! Whoops, there I go again… I’m hardly scared mate. It’s not like we’re about to start bashing each other, even if we were in the same state. I don’t think either of us is like that.

There was more outrage from other quarters than from SmoothLine which backs up what people have said about him.

Yamutha33 – sounds like you’re with me on this. Just make sure I don’t get too many supporters because I want to claim minority harassment later :) .

Nismo Girl – I think the state forums are fine for this sort of thing. If there were so many threads you couldn’t find anything in them you would probably have to split the state forums into categories with a wasteland in particular.

In conclusion, I’ve just been a condescending and self indulgent wanker by posting all of this. If any one has anything intelligent to say, please do. I think despite all the surrounding crap I do actually have one small but definitely valid point. I was trying to change behaviour, not make enemies and if anyone here has anything abusive, stupid, banal or otherwise crap to say, post it :), make me laugh because I’ve obviously been in far too serious a mood lately. I’m not going to put on my flame proof suit so go sick guys… and girls.

:D

Lemme explain that, I mean it looks like you took something way out of context and then others took what you posted out of context and everyone goes off and there is a huge misunderstanding :D

G'day Anna and welcome to skylines australia. Hope you enjoy your stay. :)

Just curious as to why, to PM you, we'd have to own both a 4 door AND 2 door R34 (with a 'roomy backseat', assuming your wedding day will be spent in the back of 2 door R34? :blah: )

Ben - Should have appealed your suspension so I can kick your arse :kick:

:) j/k

And bob dude.. chill a bit.. seems you are taking things a lil bit too seriously and I thought I was bad in posting long replies.. hehehe :)

Come say hello where?

Good to see another new face has joined the ranks... Come along to one of the meets...

Also, I should let you know that in the aim of matching faces to names etc Im going to have to ask you to post a pic of yourself...

Yes , Maybe Abo Bob was a little harsh on his reply to Smoothline and yes his from Sydney BUT this was Not a nice way for Smoothline to greet someone new no matter who he knows or how long he has been on this site.

So wake up guys, friends or no friends lets make SAU a friendly site and Not a kindergarten....... :slap:

    • I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well
    • Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well. 
    • Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info 
    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard 
    • Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
