now thats going too far. You've have 3-4 pages on new threads/posts every 2-3 hours. It'd be too tough to moderate for one.

You have to have some split sections to filter stuff to a certain extent on specifics

I never said to combine everything into 3-4 forums.

I merely said that REALISTICALLY, that's what most people read, and that's what they have time to read... So splitting them up into 10 different forums, means they will still only read the 3-4 main forums and a lot of the threads that used to be in those main forums will now go unread by a good percentage of previous readers.

Maybe 70% of people would read GAD, Forced Induction/NA, State Forum and For Sale... But only 5% of people would read Suspension, Motorsport, Stagea, Cefiro, Bodykits, Car Audio, National Events, News, Sports, Games, Computer Art, etc etc...

The happy medium was exactly how it was before this "forum splitting crusade" :)

oh please!! you can be a slight drama queen sometimes Andrew.

I am just waiting to see what other feedback we will get. At this stage, Skylines Disc and GAD will be merged again and bodykits will be removed.

 

so, motorsport subforums removed? what else? merge Skyline discussion and GAD?

I concur.

Prank check out this thread:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...?t=46721&page=4

The news and sports section don't get a whole lot of posts, and what is being posted in there is generally more "wasteland" type material.

Are changes going to be actioned anytime soon? :D

People have started double posting because there are so many forums now, they don't know where to post their threads.

e.g.

"Making an R33 GTR two wheel drive" by T517zGTR

Forced Induction - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=48173

Skyline Related Discussion - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=48174

"How To Launch??????" by drewecrome

Forced Induction - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=48032

Motorsport - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=47955

Just two that I've noticed, I'm sure there are more ;)

This is the point though.

So funkymonkey has a question about this awesome bodykit he saw on the road, and wants it for his car. That bodykit is actually developed by my good mates at ABC Fibreglass.

But since it has been seperated from the Skyline Automotive forum, and I don't have enough interest in bodykits to click on that forum and read it, that question might go unanswered for 2 weeks until someone else can answer the question, whereas if it was still part of the Skyline Automotive forum, which I read, I would have answered it within 5 minutes, with contact number, price and availability.

The effect of splitting up different topics into different forums might seem like a tidier layout, but it has the follow-on effect of placing threads into forums that very few people read, as they don't have enough interest in that forum to regularly read it, but can answer the questions posed in there straight away if it were presented to them in their commonly read forums.

:werd: i had a bit of a re-read of this thread and what you say Merli is true. I'm finding some of the most simple questions going unanswered for weeks, and the poor bastard who started the thread has been talking to himself the whole time. Compact the sub-sections back to the way they were.

-rb25

I agree with Merli, too many sub-threads, most of which are unnecessary.

:werd:

here's my suggestion:

Automotive have 3 sub forums (General, Motorsport, Importation...) so combine Skyline, Ceffy, Stag etc...into General

get rid of the bodykit sub forum

For World & Other Things I reckon scrap a lot of it as they're isn't enough traffic to warrant their use. Move everything into The Wasteland except Japan. Probably best to delete National events if each state has their own Events forum. And I don't think their needs to be an archive forum for each event forum.

Heres my plan;

GENERAL

-General Automotive Discussion

-Vehicle Specific Discusion

---Stagea

---Ceffy

---etc

-Motorsport

-Importation

MAINTENANCE/MODS

As is, removing Bodykits (merge into general automotive).

WORLD

As is, move sports/news -> wasteland

Optinions?

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
