xSxExCx wants only local pickups, does anyone make aftermarket ones or are they only OEM?

you expect to much within the forum group now. Everyone stays on facebook now since its 10x easier to talk, post etc...You dont have internet Lag loads through the phone and having to login all the time. with the introduction to facebook groups it has pretty much pushed away the forum traffic due to the ease of facebook app. If they had a g35driver.com app that was easier to work with I would assume the activity would pick up but all the admins etc that monitor post just go to facebook and dont worry about it.

I have no expectations, it's fairly obvious half the guys in that facebook group have never posted on or seen much on this website. Quite sad actually with all the good info and build threads here, they definitely could learn a thing or two. I think the mobile view for this website works well, i use it daily.

thats you bro! if you notice most of the owners joining are in the early 20's late Teens which means they are built around FACEBOOK and the forum is not for them. most of the guys I talk to daily through text I point them to driver and they dont even know what a forum is but they will check it out. Its very cumbersome as a first time user of a forum to understand what to do. Secondly in order to start posting and selling you have to go through basically a POST Count trial phase which just deters them ever further away. the generation coming through is a "i want it now" and if they dont have it they will move onto something easier. I know its sad and I agree but thats what forums are turning into now. Hell that G35/350z Parts facebook group has like 15-20 post every 2 hours on it with parts for sale or people asking questions and same goes for V35 Coupe drivers and Sedans

You're giving facebook too much credit..most of those guys are idiots that can't do their own research..it's a sea of dumb questions that have been answered a million times on this site already lol
