Hi All,

As you may or may not be aware, we are reviewing the Pro's and the Con's in moving our forum back to the Mothersite (www.SkylinesAustralia.com). This is a decision we are taking very seriously as this will influence the way the club operates. As the execs are not here to dictate rather facilitate the running of the club, we require the decision in the move to be voted on by our members.

The discussion is open to all members of the forum to participate, however voting is only open to paid members of the club. A blind poll will be launched in the up coming days and all paid members will be notified on the poll.



Here is a list of Pro's and Con's for moving our forum back to the Mothersite.

PROS.

  • Public Exposure
  • Traffic flow
  • No cost to the club to host our forum
  • Constant update to the forums - free of charge
  • Separate members area to be arranged in any way we deem suitable
  • Our own moderator within our club area
  • Page can be laid out as we wish

CONS.

  • No Admin control
  • No ability to email from the forum
  • Previous tainted history between SAuQLD and Skylines Australia Moderator/Admin team.


Here are a list of Pro's and Con's for keeping our forum on SAuQLD.com.


PROS.

  • Admin rights.
  • Mass email
  • Can layout the forum as we wish
  • As many Moderators as we wish

CONS.

  • Low public exposure
  • Low traffic flow
  • It costs the club to host the forum
  • Forum/site Updates required may need to be purchased
  • Less ability to do forum membership recruitment
  • All forum maintenance is to be completed by us
  • Less likely to build a rapport with other states due to lack of presence


As this is an important club decision, we encourage discussion and want to know your opinions before a decision is made. So please spend a few minutes thinking how this move will impact you and your club and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Cheers

Scott.

I believe my view has already been expressed many times over the course of the last month or so, but in my opinion we as a club would be better off moving our banter as a whole back to here.

I see no reason as to why members who frequent the whoretown/forum on the SAu Qld site can't simply migrate over here and talk the same level of er intelligent discussion in these forums.

So looking at it from that pov we have alot more to gain (a much larger base for members to come from) than what we have to lose.

Admittedly losing some of the exec moderator control is annoying, but moderator control can be delegated to specific sections of SAu Aus so why not simply limit our moderator power to the qld sub forum?

Basically I'm all for moving us back to here :)

There's a lot of... interesting... banter going on over there about this.

Yer I'm flipping between the two sites as I type now.... The problem is none of them will ever see this post AS THEY DON'T COME HERE!!! :rant:

CONS.

  • Previous tainted history between SAuQLD and Skylines Australia Moderator/Admin team.

As far as I can see, this is the only valid reason to keep a separate forum. I think some adult discussion is required with some assurances from SAU that we will still be free to moderate our part of the forum as we collectively see fit. Things can often get rather awkward when dealing with power-hungry keyboard warriors... Thoughts?

This discussion has been had, between members of the executive and admins on this site. We believe that this issue will not be a problem any more.

Name names please Martin, who are you dealing with????

Names aren't important, all we need is confirmation that they'll let us run our own show... Which I cant see any problem with, why not let us run the qld section we're the ones that live here ?

    • Given by the sheer number of questions about offset, absolutely not. If you had the information formatted this way: Space from R34 GTT hub to outer arch = 100mm Space from R34 GTT inner hub to nearest suspension arm = 90mm. (making this up) Buying a wheel that was advertised as Enkei RPZ5 Diameter 18in Width 9 Distance to arch = 84mm Distance to suspension arm = 76mm 100% of people would know instantly if it fits. They would absolutely also know instantly how close it fits too, and no questions would need to be asked. You would know you would have 16mm from the guard and 14mm from the suspension arm.
    • Ah ok, for example for the apexi ecu I heard that it's pretty limited with the information it can give you. Also not sure why Nissan used the consult port over the obd2, what the idea there was.
    • Diagnosing with and without is mostly the same. You need to know, as Duncan asked, and what conditions. Car hot, cold, idling, driving, if while driving what rpms, is when you're varying, or is it when held constant.   From there it's understanding what can be causing it. Starting with pretending all of the sensors are correct. Which means if it's going rich, why would it be thinking more air is going in than it is, and under what conditions. So things like if only when under boost, it could be be a loose intake piping joint. It's just understanding the system, and understanding when/how the problem occurs, and then if it's only occuring in specific scenarios, what can be causing it.   ECU specifically, if it's aftermarket, it'll have software you can use, for the Skylines on factory ECU, there is Nissan Consult you can use. Most ECUs have a way to get data from them.
    • How do you go about diagnosing ecu's that don't have data logging, is it more experience at that point and just trying out things that you think will fix the issue?
    • Stock O2 are basically useless beyond anything at stoich. Any misfire will also be seen as lean. The stock O2 also read a collective exhaust gas volume, not each cylinder. Sputtering and missing means not each cycle is firing, and some are. Which means even if rich, as shit, on cylinders as they miss, they'll read lean, but the cylinders that did fire will read rich, and combined, well, they can read anything from rich to lean.   Start with the basics before even going looking at sensor values.   Edit: I say the above, and that's coming from the guy with a few thousand dollars worth of scan tools sitting right beside me right now that I use frequently for my job.
