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...

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=128496

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.

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 :(

Edited by Menthu_Rae

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

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
