What would be some good questions for the FAQ, I am going to build one up to reduce the amount of "Newbie" postings.

For example.........

Q: What is a grounding kit
A: A grounding kit is......... (or you can place a link to a thread that explains this).

Thanks,

For potential buyers:

"What should I look for upon purchasing a Z?"

One of the numerous answers should include for the dealer to NOT drill holes in the front bumper to install the license plate.

Many people buying the car do not know this and when confronted with the dealer, the usual response is "you should have told us not to install the front plate." My thought is, well hell, if I knew you were going to drill two big @$$ holes in the bumper you had better believe that I would have.

In any case.... this one should be included in the FAQs.

 

possibly a database of everyones wheel width and offsets, so that an acceptable range for every width could be calculated.

 

we sorta have that with the wheel gallery, but yeah a link could be given, we only have the offsets on some of the cars in the gallery tho. it was added later on, and not everyone gives offsets when they post their rims.

definitly need a clear non-biased write up of the features of the 5 models. explaining it all, thats gotta be the most asked, and for now "what is new in 2004"

 

Well, I meant like a chart that says

17x7, offsets 20-40
17x7.5, offsets 25-35, etc.

although it looks like pad spacing behind the spokes is as much a factor as offset for track models, since raceboy's enkei rpfs with +35 dont clear and my same width rpo2js with +35 do.

 

that would be good, but i have no idea how to compile that type of info, i'm not good with wheels.

 

Stock 1/4 mile times seem to be a common question........that and basic drag strip techniques

 

here's a few

1. bulb sizes and specs

2. paint codes

3. Tech Service Bulletins(TSBs)

4. what type of lowering springs/coilovers are available

 

Aren't these just like Note's that are at the top of the page...???

 

no way, it'll be an organized page

 

I think there should be Note's for Installation for Exhaust, Headers, Intake, Grounding Kit, etc. have them in each section pertaining to that section. Also, the search should be improved, it sucks. And at the top of every thread, it should show who is browsing that paticular thread.

 

I think it would be a good idea to post a downloadable version of the service manual......i have a PDF copy if you'd like to do this......a ton of FAQ's could be taken care of with this

 

I would like to do that but there are a lot of copyright issues that I wouldn't like to get into.

 

Why? That would only slow the site down and we're trying to get it to speed up, remember. Mike removed the "Who's Online" list at the bottom of the main page and it really helped out. (At least for me, it did.)
