yeah go ahead ban me i will not retrace my statement. Lately all you mods have done is been anti maxima in helping or in peoples ideas. i truly believe anyone not owning a maxima anymore or devoting there love to them should not be in power of moderator. i feel this site has lost alot because of people like matt greeny benstoked dhunter and the list goes on. I have done nothig but tried to help with keying in with help of what i have encountered in my time of working on my maxima which is over 9 years now. anyone who wants to keep in touch talk to doubleclutch he can get you in contact with me. everyone else see you at a maximus coming soon. when you wont know but one of them ill be there and proving theories wrong. good bye and please by all means TROLLS ban me now.

 

I'm not sure what statement you are talking about, but I am sure I will find it shortly.
I have been made aware you have been behaving like a douche so here it goes.
Some of us may not own Maxima's anymore but one of us has forgotten more about these cars than the sum of your knowledge. Case in point:

The VE has a 10.0:1 compression ratio. Yet you managed to spew false information (compounded by saying "besides aftermarket", which he stated the pistons he used were but hey I know, deductive reasoning is challenging. Furthermore the NA Z32 pistons bring the motor to 10.5:1 as well, not aftermarket).

Next up is the bit about exhaust port work. Another faulty assumption. While it would be easy to debunk your engine building knowledge the assumption you possess any would be a compliment. Instead you should realize the VG has round exhaust ports where the VE has "oval-ish/figure 8-ish" exhaust ports. I would go on about what this means in terms of design and power but what you said next indicates I would be wasting my breath.

Backpressure. Seriously? Glad I caught that before getting into exhaust design 101.

And lastly you put a nice bow on it spewing off your hopes and dreams of mods that cost more than the car is worth, for next to no power gains. Where he has accomplished something tangible you have nothing to show other than looking like a complete idiot and catching the moderators attention in a not so good way.


So that is one of your posts. You really are not making a strong argument here.

I'm sorry most of the moderators have moved on to other cars, its what happens in life but we still possess a plethora of information specifically about the cars and otherwise. And no, I am not "devoting there love to them" (their btw) either. I love the cars, when I see a nice 3rd gen locally I get the urge to stop and chat but I have also built enough of them to realize what they are and their shortcomings.

 

More drama than the last Oprah show.

 

I feel loved.

You know why you get so much ****, elusive? You think you're better than everyone else in here. You've got the high and mighty attitude and think you're the hottest thing around replacing parts on a 3rd gen. You're not doing anything new, you're not doing anything innovative, you're not doing anyone any favors.

 

And the rest of us that think like that are already moderators and there's no openings currently, so that means you're just spewing your attitude without a gavel to bang like the rest of us.

I've intentionally held back from my comments to NOT inflame you and give you a chance to "help out" other members around here. But since you've opened the door on the name calling, insults, and general douchebaggery, you just go right ahead. you're saying nothing new to any of us. We've been insulted a bazillion times before and there will be hundreds more like you before the 3 gen falls by the wayside.

Remember, the 3 gen Maxima is just a car- there were over 500,000 of them sold in the states alone. I bet there's a few other people out there that have worked on one before you came along and graced us with your presence.

 

I cannot defend you. You have done some good work on you car but your attitude, at least what I'm getting from you post, lack in humility (or being humble). Even one moderator has "STFU noob" yet does not put down the attitude I've observe in your other posts:


I like so see your projects finish, but calm down. It's not like you have created a fuel efficient Max. But Aaron, [not Matt] , "VQ-ed" a 3rd gen an I haven't seen similar behavior from him. Take it down a bit. It's a shame your pride is getting in the way.

I bumped heads with Greeny when I was new. I respect him and others who don't have a 3rd. As long as they are here, passing knowledge, why not let them moderate. I rarely see Mr. Gone posts in 3rd Gen.

 

And that's not including the stuff he said to get banned.

 

theres already so few 3rd genners left around, do we REALLY need to fight like this among the few?

 

No, I didn't VQ a 3 gen.. that was Aaron. I built a VE. and a transmission. and another transmission. then I replaced my Konis because my car is too low and I blow one every 6 months. Shortly after, I rebuilt my tranny again.

and oh yeah.. I STILL have the car. It's parked in the barn because I got tired of working on it just as much as I drove it. I just can't bring myself to sell something I put so much blood and sweat into.

 

Yeah sell it so I can personally part the b!tch out....!!!!t's no need hiding it!!!!!

 

at his request he was banned. so no more drama.

we now return to your regularly scheduled program.

oh and FWIW...i STILL have the 3rd gen.

 

Sorry elusive but you are way out of line. For some reason you think what you have to say is special, completely oblivious that your knowledge of Maximas and cars in general is mediocre at best. To most of us its obvious that you are just repeating what you have read without fully understanding it. To top it off you keep talking about who is a "true enthusiast" when you are one of the furthest from it. A "true enthusiast" is going to spend their time planning and implementing truly unique and one-off mods and not talking about their feelings on the internet. IMO an "enthusiast" has a stack of books and a dozen internet bookmarks on automotive theory and modification. Between reading and wrenching with all his free time, any time he has to spare typing on the internet would be helping people with things hes actually done, not talking about theory he doesn't understand or how someone else hurt his feelings or how someone is a "troll".
Try and remember this is a forum for people who want to learn both general maintenance and modification to their cars. When someone picks up a How-To book its not to read about how people feel about the writer or his editor, its to learn how to do something. Same thing here, someone who find this website to figure out how to accomplish specific tasks on their maxima doesn't want to spend half his time reading about your feelings.

Those of us who have been on here a long time have seen many members just like you. You guys cry and complain about everything, always writing garbage that the mods have to clean up and to top it off its the mods who you guys usually target with your hate. Then after a few bans and several nights crying to your mother who wont join up just to tell the mods to leave their poor boy alone, you finally leave to the relief of everyone. The mods have a hard job, just knowing about cars isnt enough, they have to be counselors for kids who cant handle the emotional hardship of a forum where people don't find you as special as your mom does.

 

Well elusive, you got the grand old goodbye. All the moderators lined up for you, boy. Only greeny (I had the pleasure of being banned by him) is missing as of right now. If he steps up the pic will be complete. Arrogant as you are I will miss ya, there was a certain element of entertainment in your posts. The blind noobs who needed advice on how to turn a screw would probably be misled by some of the stuff you said, but the rest of us would laugh at it and say "he is what he is ". Too bad I won't get to see you turn the TK3 into the GTR you really want it to be. Life is full of humbling experiences...I'm in my late forties and I'm still getting them. Live, learn and move on is all we can do.

 

quoted for truth...thank you

 

LOL Amen!!! Soon as we hand out bans for people being jackasses, then we're the bad guys. A certain level of respect should be given to all members by members but some people come here and try to be top dog and tell us what we should be doing. That doesn't go over well with the staff so people should just stick to learning about Maximas when they come here and chill with the politics.

 

this. please rename thread title to Mod Appreciation.

 

I think Matt just didn't respond to elusive's love advances. And now he's throwing a hissy fit about it.

 

 

One of the great things I appreciate about the moderators is that they choose to hand over hours of their time toward the benifit of this forum. Thier doing so protects all those still learning and trying to get correct information. I know their work is most often thankless and inherently makes them a target.

I wanted to get in before the lock just to communicate my appreciation and recognition to EVERYONE who contributes correct information and confronts the bad. This helps keep the forums safe and benificial for all of us.

Regretfully, one of the biggest issues today is that many interpret our American freedoms as intitlement. Too bad we have so many on the forums who believe they can just say whatever they want and can do so without consequence, that they are intitled to do so. Thankfully, there is one less intitled individual on our forums today!

 

Well...in the end, i finally grew tired of his constant insults to the members of the forum that no longer drive maximas, so told him to cool it or he was done here. Then we got this beautiful gem of a thread out of that

I've had to deal with several other issue concerning him for a while now, some here, some in other sub-forums...I'm guessing his nut sack aint dropped yet...

Don't let the door hit ya in the azz on your way out elusive..
