I actually sit back behind the scenes and let the younger guys pow-wow amongst each other and figure their own problems out amongst each other. "Ryan" a.k.a. float_6969 has come a long way in this field of nissan cars and engines and with that he's gained my respect as well. He's a moderator for a lot of reasons, but I think the main ones are because a. his desire to learn his engine/car has caught the eyes of the administrators and his peers ( like me) b. because he's extremely helpful c. he participates in nearly every discussion which makes him the all out post-whore of post-whores

I can be a know-it-all and bud into every conversation, but that's just not me. The burden of being the most knowledged about this engine on this forum is no longer one that I have to bear. Themadscientist's skills are sharp when it comes to the CA. Some of these guys know enough to get over and if they're wrong, someone's always around to correct misinformation. But as for knowledge of the CA DOHC series, I have enough of it to do what I want to do and answer as many questions as I possibly can.

The two other moderators on this board besides Ryan and Myself are sharp as hell because they both paid their dues as well. I see them write, I see no need for me to jump in because they can handle themselves. But when we have a member being disruptive, it is all of our duties as members and moderators to put and end to it.

I hope some day to be able to answer questions of yours. It will take a while for me to type the names of members whom I deem competent to tackle serious questions, but I assure you there isn't a question that can't be answered about the CA18DET whether anyone likes the answer or not.

The CA gang is great and I personally would like to formally welcome you to such a great community.

I agree, you can't spoon feed info to the noobs. If you do, they will never learn anything. Granted to each his own, but I have a lot more respect for the person who takes the time to research and assemble his car himself rather than drop it off at a shop and swipe the 'ol credit card. Before I even made a post in this forum, I literally searched for almost a month straight. About 90% of the info I needed was there and even I have been able to answer questions that have been asked here from time to time.
