OK, I can agree 100% if that's the reason why mine was deleted... however...

What about encouraging the use of a pirated version of a licenced product... aka the "VINS you want "fasted"" thread...

Double standards? Think about it...

admin/mods are responsible for assessing forum content.

If people own illegal software we can't stop them from using it.

This is no different to:

If people own a car with illegal modifications, we can't stop them from driving it.

If they get caught, the onus is on the individual, and the forum is in no way at fault.

Links to illegal downloads will be removed, the same way that discussion of any other illegal activies are removed.

(However, the person who removed it should have sent you a PM stating why it was removed)

SAu will not be your partner in crime.

So why then is the "VINs you want fasted" thread acceptable?

* It's a thread based around software that is being used illegally

* People post screenshots of perhaps confidential/private Nissan (as in the company) information

* People are discussing the above two things... therefore it's discussion of an illegal activity...

Should it not also be removed?

Also "discussion of any other illegal activities" - modding a car illegally - sure, you can't make the driver stop driving it - but using the logic stated in your post - then you should at least be removing threads discussing illegal modifications (anything that breaks emissions/noise/road safety/environmental laws... as modifying is an activity, and is being discussed...

Also this thread -----> http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...4182&st=920

Should be deleted :(

is it really this important?

it was a single thread.

get a tissue, wipe your eyes, and move on.

I mean, prank owns this site, if he doesnt want some thing on it, for whatever reason, who are you to tell him otherwise?

Menthu_Rae technically you're right. All those threads should be removed as they do discuss copyrighted information that is only supposed to be accessible to a select few.

However, there is some merit in those threads, and as such we've decided to draw the line at not allowing people to directly link to torrents and sites for the software.

Hope that helps. Its a very grey area.

Yeah, I'm sorry to be such a smartass guys - it's a big job moderating a totally dynamic site with thousands of users - however if the rules say something, then it should be adhered to at all times.

Anyway I'm sure I look like a bit of a d***head after making these whiney posts - but of course I do understand where all of the moderators and posters in this thread are coming from.

It's unfortunate IMO, that a valuable tool like Nissan FAST isn't legal for personal use, or use outside of Nissan :laugh:

I think funkymonkey's point/statement is entirely valid - so yeah, I'll stop being a wang now :laugh:

Shan, in those 45 pages there are about half a dozen links to Torrent Sites for FAST software.

Who's the mod for that area?

They should be keeping it clean of that sorta stuff

I just went through there and took out all the links

      Rusty roof repair

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Hot tip, stop picking at shit. Live in bliss instead   From my recent experience in rust repairs, white it may seem to not go much further back, you'll still need to cut back a bit further.  From what I can see there, the outer skin, and the inner is rusted too. From what I can see you've got the inner one which is all structural, and window likely affixes too.   If tag Murray Calavera here, but my phone won't let me tag him, he'd probably be able to give the best advise.   I do know, welding roof panels is a right pain in the bollocks! Very heavy to heat distort the roof and warp it all.

      Some of the filler.   Also if I look under the top flap of metal it starts looking good quite close to the edge. I get the feeling it doesn't go much further.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I finally started digging at the bit of my roof that was cracking and bulging a bit. Well, it was just thick filler that was covering some pretty bad rust. I didn't find the edges, I was too bummed to keep going.  There are a few holes as you can see. There was just so much filler but looks like no attempt under the filler to prime or use rust converter, just slapped filler on exposed rust.  Anyway, I'm going to take the windshield out and find the edges. I'd love to fix this myself as I'm pretty sure it'll be expensive to get done properly. I was thinking I could just get a cut piece from another E39 and just weld it in place as it would be the right size and shape.  Thoughts?

      This is the territory of the "Stage 1/2/3 Golf GTI/R" or otherwise off the shelf tune with (relative to before) minor mods. It's easier now. Downpipe and Tune and boom, big increases. Stage 1 OEM+ is where it's at. This is where the niche evolved into and it's really easy to see why. It's rare to even NEED to consider changing turbos or going to aftermarket ECU's or building bottom ends for more power. Stage 1-2-3 will get you a LONG WAY. Civic Type R turbo GR Yaris/Corolla Anything with B58 (MKV Supra/x40i) Anything BMW in General Anything Audi in General Any turbo AMG RenaultSport Turbo offerings Korean Elantra N/I30N Ecoboost Mustangs Focus RS? List goes on. I would argue in the future it won't even need to go on... M3P is pretty rapid out of the box...

      There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.
