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

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      By Duncan · Posted

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
