The image which is used on the advert is not property of SAu.

Unless someone has purchased a copy of the guide, there is no way of knowing it's content, and where it's content came from.

Has anyone purchased one?

Has anyone checked that the ebayer who is selling this item, isn't the owner of the original article to which this image belongs?

Because if that hasn't been confirmed, SAu could be doing itself a disservice by getting everyone to report the sale as dodgy.

If the seller happens to be the same person who owns the copyright to the image used, I'd imagine they wouldn't want their information to remain on SAu when a whole bunch of forum members have sabotaged the sale of his own private information....

Just a bit of food for thought >_<

P.S, I have contacted the owner of the used image via email, but am yet to recieve a response.

i know what you're saying but i'm hoping you are just being the devil's advocate here..

its pretty obvious what is happening

although proof might be required to put an end to it, i don't think SAU needs to worry about reporting it. we don't shut it by reporting it, we simply alert eBay to investigate it themselves and they can decide if they wish to ban him or not...

Sorry for the late reply people. Valentines DAY! :huh:

The guide he is selling IS the guide that was made possible by SAU. Its exact date is the 1st of May 2006. So its not even the latest one. lol Not that there's really that much difference. It really needs a good overhaul and gtr/gts4 section included.

I also have his full details obviously. Cost me $9 though. :angry:

But all is not lost. All of the items have been ended so I'm assuming Ebay has shut down his sale of SAU's RB30DET guide.

Well ended with 7 or 8 people buying them. I guess if you are the original owners of the manual, you could get some type of compenssation because there selling your guide "hint hint" some people are just lame in selling other peoples stuff esp. when its open source to people already. why dont we go make a sale for ummm firefox or ummm linux. god damn. i would leave feedback like person has sold copyright material heres the free source as a feedback on them lol.

No good even still. Hope a good resolution comes out of it and punishes those whom seek to rip people off and steal and sell copyrighted material.

At uni we were told that anything we place the usual copyright notice on is copyright. We were not told that there is a 'legal' method to 'legally' obtain a copyright for it.

I believe what you may be thinking of is a patent?

A quick google and I stumbled upon this...

http://www.templetons.com/brad/copymyths.html

"If it doesn't have a copyright notice, it's not copyrighted."

This was true in the past, but today almost all major nations follow the Berne copyright convention. For example, in the USA, almost everything created privately and originally after April 1, 1989 is copyrighted and protected whether it has a notice or not. The default you should assume for other people's works is that they are copyrighted and may not be copied unless you know otherwise. There are some old works that lost protection without notice, but frankly you should not risk it unless you know for sure.

And then there's this in the SAU Guidelines.

I've been in contact with one buyer. He said its different to the one I pointed him to and the one i pointed him to was better.

I'm thinking maybe the guide has been modified to 'look' different.

I'm waiting on an email with regards to similiar pics used. Might even be lucky enough for him to forward the guide sold to me.

dunno if someones mentioned this, i'm too lazy to read through the thread, but I bought one of those cd's of ebay like a year ago that have all the engine manuals etc. on them, from the UK I think and noticed when I started researching for my 25/30 build that the dohc guide was on it.....allbeit an older version but still.....

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
