There's always a great wealth of information and a lot of very seasoned technicians with helpful insight willing to offer/give tips and answers.

I don't come across too many egos. But I do run into very straight forward enthusiasts who have been tinkering on the cars for what would seem like eons. I never take it personally but more like "word from the wise" who've been through the hardships already and are just trying to help lessen the amount of wrong turns down back alleys for those coming down the road.
Some great sights:
Club 4AG
HachiRoku.net
Toyota3TC
Japanese Nostalgic Car a.k.a. JNC (may be merging with another classic import organization)
Just to name a few.
