Since we are being philosophical in here, I just want to say that I think there is value in a place where Skyline focused but not single pointed people can discuss cars, in a moderated environment with some minimum level of respect.

There are other places around if you want something else, either less moderated, more generic, or more specific. 

Thanks for keeping the place alive for so many years Christian, with recent events I've been thinking a lot about the old days, friends we've made and lost through here and how SAU has made it in one form or another through so much change in the world. 

17 years now.

I think we should close the forum and move permanently to Facebook so we can put up with 100 more people like Slap and answer the same questions every day regarding failed AFMs, cam angle sensors and what oil to use in for a basic service.

That's pretty much how I look at it. Plenty of people prefer the lack of moderation, quick responses and convenience of facebook. 

SAU is deliberately different, and I think the quality of the content is better as a result.

Let's have a Skyline remembrance day cruise. Can be a car cruise where we all use our euro SUVs and tow our Skylines on trailers.

At least we won't be defected or end up on Today Tonight

The age of facebook being preference is surely dying. I find it a very hard place to take things seriously purely due to those reasons you mention.

And I agree content quality is far better on SAU.

Bingo. Old man style, I rather these forums stay in the format. Easy enough to search through.

If you want to type incoherent shit with a random picture that has nothing to do with your post, do it on shitbook.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By PranK · Posted

      I left the ceramic coating off this bit, hopefully it just comes off after a few drives.   The gap between the spokes is too tight for anything on a stick, its only marginally bigger than my finger. I have to use a brush to get in there and its a big reason why I thought I'd try the coating.   Absolutely will do. I have EBC Blue Stuff pads to put on the front which will make them a bit dirtier. I'm hoping a pressure wash will just get most off. The shine is different to most, its very thin but seems very well 'attached' so hopefully it lasts.

      Barrels don't need to be shiny clean. But they are certainly nicer when they are not polluted with years of brake dust, and worse the rotting corpses of the last 17 balance weight sticky pads scattered all around.

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, type a special character like ^ or | to initiate the equivalent of the "at"ing for thread links. Although, it might not get any easier to manage. Imagine 30 or 40 threads that kinda match what you want, and the one you want is lost after a long list of useless ones. The magic keyword version I proposed would be a manual effort to set up each case. More of a directed effort from the greybeards to facilitate exposure of useful content. I'm not against the auto complete stuff being considered - maybe por que no los dos? (And where I said "triggered automatically" in my OP, I meant "triggered accidentally". Of course I want it to be automatic!!)

      Ah yes, fair enough! I was purely thinking about cleaning the spokes and front of the wheel with the mitt. For the barrel the rag on a stick makes more sense. I've tried cleaning the barrels on mine and gave up in frustration. Between brakes being in the way or spokes being in the way and limited space to constantly move the car front and back it was just too annoying. The barrel being as shiny as the rest of the wheel sounds amazing though. At this point I'm not even sure if they have the same surface finish on mine. But I feel inspired now to find out.
