It seems recently the tutorial section was opened up for just general posting, I guess to stop as much delay getting stuff in there. But I've noticed lately, there is a lot of rubbish in there, and a lot of just general questions... e.g. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=76511

I remember when it was just properly written tutorials only, and what you saw was all good information. Now its filled with a lot of crap, and you have to wade through it - therefore making the section not as good as it should be.

Can we go back to some tighter moderation in there??

I bit off topic but staying with the Tutorials area.

Can we get some protection on the pictures that a worthy of keeping?

Some tuts that had pics, now don't

I don't know if it was links to personal server sites or if the ones on the Skylines Server have a timeout/delete. If the latter, could that be removed on that section only?

ok as a mod in that area i wholeheartedly agree

i try to get in there and move a whole shitload of crap posts about once or twice a week but the problem remains, people are not reading my sticky asking not to post questions/crap

the only way that it will go back to normal is if a higher power than me re-instates a moderation on ALL new threads dissallowing them to be started until a moderator approves it

i dont know why that feature went away but thats the cause of all our probs

Cheers

OK I can change the mode back for that forum, and am happy to..

Like Jimbo I'm a mod in there but I just don't have the time to keep up with moderating it properly. If there are another person or 2 willing to help out I can put moderating back on and have the mods look after it

      I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.

      Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.

      It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!

      Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.
