I've been on this forum now for 8 months, but have owned my car for about 4 years. If I had a question, I would simply Google it and it was already answered in enough threads to where I wouldn't even need to create an account here, so really I just joined for the fun of it.

I have noticed, however that people continue to constantly barate this place with the same unnecessary questions about compression rods, plenum spacers, tire sizes/offsets, coilovers/spring setups, etc. How do you regulars who have been here for years continue to answer these questions time and time (and time and time) again? Its annoying me.

 

I haven't been around that long but long enough to know what you're talking about. Sad thing is, whether they're repeat threads or not-it's still more action than usual..

But btw
What's a good intake for my car and are varrstoens good? My boy just got them.

 

I was wondering the same thing.

Also what dash kit do I need?
Are whitelines good?
Will 350z springs work so I can save money on lowering my car?
Should I paint my stock calipers?
I'm dreaming of putting a turbo on my car, but know I will never drop the cash, but just for *****, what would a I need?

 

I'll answer a newby the first time and gently tell them how to search for the answer the second time. I don't want to scare them off, I want this community to grow. However, I have noticed that the Sponsor thread posts out number the member thread posts on most days now.

 

Yeah, that's annoying too. Some days its just like 5-10 of us keeping multiple threads busy, but then it drops off after a day or 2 and its just all vendor threads for a week.

 

Let's face it, the G doesn't generate the kind of "buzz" that it did back in 02' when it came out. There was nothing like it out there. Now the G37 is just another JDM luxoboat.

 

by the way, what's the best oil to use for our cars?

 

Wesson

 

I'll give it a try..been using cocunut without issues though..

 

Haha coconut.

Palm kernal oil is a cheap, flavorful substitution.

 

All of us were newbies at one time. Problem is some of us forget that and choose to flame the crap out of newbies even if they've made the same mistakes. I'll try to help someone if they look liked they've tried to search and could actually use the information. I've written more than a few informative threads to help such people.

If it's someone that just looking for easy info, I'll just ignore the post and leave them to find out on their own.

 

Funny you should ask, I believe it was 2007 when I came up with this..."Search is your friend, use it!" New members don't know any better so I feel obligated to answer a few questions but then I direct them to our Search along with all our stickys which contain answers they might ask...Gary

 

I think forum peaked 09 and then crashed in 2010 and just been dragging ever since. This is the new generation for the G community now. But i do answer question when i can. Like Texasscout said he wants the community to grow.

 

Totally understandable, and that's completely appropriate. Helping people with legitimate questions in otherwise unique circumstances is perfectly fine, and should be they main concern for the forum in general, but seven threads a day made asking what intake to get is kinda weird more than anything.

And, you're right everyone was a newb at one point, I'm more or less just asking how some of you guys haven't just punched your comp screen or thrown your smart phone cuz I've been here a relatively short time and I'm already getting annoyed by it. I guess I shoulda been here in 08. Haha

 

This should be a good thread.... https://g35driver.com/forums/new-mem...d-sleeper.html
