i think the new looks is ok but very hard to read and understand, too many dark shades used in the colours but thats just my thoughts.

and also when loged in it does not remember you if you come back to the site 5 mins later like it used to do ( and yes i clicked the remember me button)

You can't delete old posts, that's annoying.. Unlike the rest of you whores I like to keep my post count small & recent :O I like deleting old posts from the spotted thread also, so its harder for any random person to keep track of my usual whereabouts etc etc but still be able to identity people I pass..

Tiny text is slowly sending me blind.. and I'll second that whinge, I want my 180 back, stuff this rb25 crap! :O

I was happy with the old forums.. why the change?

they were changed as they were numerous back end problems with the old versions of phbb and the developers/support werent able to help any more, or so i read in the feedback section anwyay. the site is a bit average. almost turns me off reading them all the time now cos they are much more unfriendly and a lot of the stuff isnt obvious. i cant work out new threads and which ones have new posts etc

im sure they will work it all out, just have to wait i guess. also no quick post is poo so i just have to reply to the last post in the thread in the meantime

Yeah the text is way way way too small.

And i think we need the post preview thing back (as stated above)..

This was what differentiated us from those nissan silvia louts! It saves heaps of time otherwise spent trawling through endless posts of people wanting rad BOV sounds and asking the difference between a skyline and a silvia etc etc. Especially if you are still on dialup.

there are a few cool features, like new PM's being displayed at the top of the page when you refresh while browsing ;)

however...

Where the hell did the TRADER RATINGS Go!??!!? And the subscribed thread listwent, but i'm hoping that it just hasn't been restored yet.

And i agree it's a lot harder to read than before. And not just the font size, but the layout too. I started the day trying to be optimistic, but nope i don't like it. Also PM space was chopped from 200 to 100 :rolleyes: bugger, so i did a nice big cleanout of crap i'd had sitting there for a while.

beh oh well...

well I liked it at first because often a change is refreshing.. but now its just bloody annoying me.. this crazy colour scheme and the text size.. my eyes are falling out of their sockets.. and changing the display on IE is a no no because it effects what you look at when your not on SAU as well.. bitch bitch bitch.. still annoyed about the quick reply thing.. and as someone said the thread preview I like that....

But on a good note.. I like the way when you are going through threads you can 'jump to page' so you just chuck in the page number you want and it's there.. no pressing buttons for ages and ages....

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.

      As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
