Just looking into a few forum plugins that tells you off if you have bad spelling in your posts.

For example:

http://www.spellingcow.com

It means that if you type in a perfect post with proper spelling you won't be hassled by the spell checker, but if it has errors (or words it dosen't recognise) then it pops up a page asking you to verify the spelling. You can still choose to ignore all or some words, correct some words etc (just like MS Word).

Although it does introduce one extra page to load between posts (which might be a hassle to 56k/dialup users).

Wat r ur thorts?

btu what about all the words that people use

FMIC

R32, R33 etc

turbz

zorst

the list goes on.. there are alot of words or abbreviations that are used so often that you dont think about it, but the spell checker wouldnt pick it up as a normal word..

Or can you add words that it can remember??

It dosen't get rid of it, it just dosen't encourage it. You can still hit "Ignore All" and it'll submit a page ridden with mistakes. I don't think it does grammar either.

Also I found that it dosen't like many abbreviations and automotive brands and terms as they are usually missplt, like "Blitz" and "blowoff" etc. Which can be annoying since that 99% of what we post about.

If you dont have to go thru the spell check every time, then it wouldnt be too bad.. but I have work network or cable at home, so the load time wouldn't bother me, im sure it could get annoying for people on dial up, doesnt matter how dialup friendly a webpage is, loading a extra page every post could get very annoying for some people. But it would be very handy for posting a new thread. thats the only time I would bother to use it I think.

When new words are added to the dictionary are they added to the same dictionary everyone uses? or is it just for that person? Or does it just ignore words?

Cos if i rite a post like dis and then hit add to dictionary, would that stuff up everyone else's spell checker up?

Could cause problems with the amount of users on here.

Oh baby bring on the spellchecker.

Some guys still don't realise there isn't a character limit when posting on the internet...

Hey whilst we're talking about spelling, is it considered poor form to politely correct someone else's spelling mistake?

A few common ones in the last week or so are fair/fare, break/brake, servers/service, etc. To be honest, if someone was polite I would prefer to know the right way to spell something but I'm not sure if others would be offended by it...?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      In a few years from now, you'll regret that. It'll eat away at you, knowing the truth of the ugly hiding beneath the beautiful exterior... 😛

      R32 GTR - Where to begin

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I don't think the G2 profile is particularly dangerous for the engine per se, more just are you actually ok with the turbo lag trade-offs? If the answer is yes then go for it. I personally don't think I'd be ok with it because I spend so much time at lower RPMs and I really enjoy the feeling of being able to stay in 5th gear on the highway and just roll into the throttle to get boost. Or staying in 3rd gear on "gentle canyon cruises" without feeling the turbo lag too badly. The 525 pump should be able to run flat out on factory lines but I would bet the pressure drop from pump to regulator is quite impressive. I don't know how much it would be exactly but I've seen figures like 30 psi thrown around.

      It's interesting seeing everyone talk about what level of risk they are happy to tolerate.  Building a GTR always has a level of risk, you could be that lucky guy that drops 20k on the engine build alone and still has the thing go pop on the dyno. Life is fun like that.  The way I see it, the thing is a toy to be enjoyed. I'd be happy to turn up the power on stock motor and limit the risk with sensible tuning and engine protection. If it still goes pop, it is what it is. The car isn't a daily driver so it can happily sit while a plan is made to sort it out.  Given this thing will be a street car only, I really feel it's worth the (relatively small if managed well) risk to turn the power up to around 350KW on e85.  I don't think anyone getting into the skyline game now is doing it out of logic. Surely it is a purely emotional decision so I'm not sure how important it is to think about the engine build logically. The heart wants what it wants.  @joshuaho96 little note for Josh, I run my 525 pump flat out all the time and through the factory lines without any issues. (excluding the melting connectors, that's sorted now. we'll pretend it never happened lol)

      But the Nexus S3 is very expensive and won't be as purpose-built for the application as a separate electronic boost controller :^) More seriously my pet issue here would be that the Walbro 525 running at 100% duty cycle is going to require more FPR than the stock setup can handle. I'm also pretty sure from what I've seen elsewhere you might want to slow down the pump regardless unless you're going to come up with some way of upsizing the fuel lines coming from the fuel tank. Factory 8mm fuel line doesn't actually flow very much if you want to keep pressure drop down between the fuel pump outlet and FPR. If you really want to "keep it simple" I would run only as much pump as you need and source a fuel pump controller to slow down the pump in the vain hope of being able to run stock-style FPRs which are pretty dinky. Or just use the HICAS lines and it should be mostly fine. OP should also really think hard about what profile they'd want out of the turbo. My pet choice here would be the G1 profile rather than anything higher power but YMMV. I already think ~stock turbo lag is pretty bad so I don't want to make it worse. In "gentle canyon cruising" I found that I spent a lot of time around 4-4.5k RPM. I also recommend DIYing labor if you're detail-oriented enough. Costs are high for labor + if you do it yourself you can be your own quality control.

      GTSBoy is again on the money. My actual advice? Sell the car. (really). For what it's worth as is, you can sidegrade into something much better. If you care about function then this is the actual move. If you want a Skyline to perform, set aside about $100K to do it. This is NOT a typo. You will see right away these are two very different mindsets. Realistically we're talking full restomod for any Skyline still kicking around. Have an honest think about which one you are.. and what you want to do, and how much you want to invest in this (with no return).
