Maybe that should be a part of the Technical Articles Section-and an index placed on the front page?

Mperdue...

The problem with that posting is that it defies logic....when I first found these sites, I don't consider myself a genius...but I did 2 things above all else--

1. I found the tech articles and read them cause I didn't know anything about Zs

2. I found zhome (carl beck's page) and absorbed/read the whole thing

Now I'm not a genius, but to come here and ask the most simple question, just looks plain lazy...to me it means you're not really passionate about Zeds....I was passionate, and I'm telling you, there is TOO much GREAT INFO to just PLAIN READ out there. I can see simple thread starters in 2 years having moved on and Zeds are not on their agenda anymore....That kind of posting, doesn't deserve a 'go search' response. There are plenty of other guys (like the guys who reponded to him) to help out. I think that someone like myself or bambikiller or 26th z, will, etc....all have the passion, and we learn by reading techy articles on our cars (we don't ask silly questions) because I think we find our passion doesn't allow us to just 'ask' when we readily can find the info, cause it IS ALL OVER THE PLACE...its real easy to find information, esp. esp. what should I look for if I get a 240z? what about a v8? hey what can I do to make this 6 cyl have more power?

I think the passionate people about this hobby go and get this information, and they post something that is really unusual or interesting that at least at first glance doesn't appear to come up in search or isn't in a tech article on Zhome or this site, (or the other 10 sites I have bookmarked)....

Comes down to passion and laziness...

and like I said, there are plenty of people to respond to those threads. When bambi or 26th has in the past responded for the umpteenth time to that same question, why should they waste valuable time even typing 'go use the search'....that's pretty much inferred, i mean has anyone heard of google? just about every forum I've ever seen uses a search....

IMO, my .02 dollars.

dogma,

i agree. passion for the Z should drive you to find out as much info as you can, even if only as background. you have to do the HOMEWORK. i prefer to learn as much about a whole system as i can rather than individual pieces, since this helps to understand how part interact with each other.

before i joined this site, i had read the forums for a month as research, hopefully to prevent dumbass posts.

one thing though, questions are sometimes asked to clarify conflicting/wrong info previously read.

on their face they might seem stupid or unresearched.

also, i have learned that factory manual procedures are sometimes drawn out, and the experience of some of the guys here is invaluable to show shortcuts to getting parts fixed or replaced. if there's an easier way to do something, most times it's been done already by someone here.
