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?

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
