Just a heads up to people who may display there email address in their skylines australia profile.

I just had a nice conversation with someone named (Josh),he was signed into my old msn email

([email protected])

I asked who it was using my account,he said his names Josh.

i asked how he got my email account,he said 'skylinesaustralia'

so i said he wishes he had a skyline,then he said he has a GTR.

probly just some young tosser playing games.

so just a head up to fellow skyliners.

i suggest not displaying your email.

P.S in no way am i blaming SAU.com

the account was hacked before my pc was just recently repaired.

so just letting you know there are tossers about.

Haha you run MSN of course you're up to getting exploited.

Patch yourself, change your passwords and use a firewall is about as good-er advice as I can give without being overly specific/prescriptive :blush:

Oh and be weary of using netbank on the same PC unless you're sure you don't have spyware.. you may be running a zombie network client.

Yeah ofcoarse. You can never really be 100% secure.

Norton will protect you from major vulnerabilities, but not fake webpages and stuff.

I'm still not quite sure how your account got hacked off SkylinesAustralia though? It's not as if the guy found your email off SAU and then hacked it cause he physcially found your email off here.

It just doesn't reall make sense. You would think if someone could 'hack' emails they find off websites, they would just hack their friends because they already know them?

I don't think I've caught the jist of what you mean?

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
