why cant i put a f**king link to my 'for sale add' in qld thread from the nationwide thread. Obviously its important to post on the nationwide thread as well as our own qld thread but whats the point of uploading all the same shit again (no point).

The rules state as below no links to external sites, Not our own site. Blitz has got some serious power issues. Aus to Qld isn't a problem.

7. No external links! - Do not post likes to items being sold on e-bay, or other forums. If you wish to start a thread advertising the same items on SAU, you must include all details and price in your thread. Asking people to refer to e-bay for more info is not acceptable. If you're too lazy to copy and paste the details on here, your thread will be deleted.

Do you think this is fair??????????

I know this isnt general automotive but i need people's opinions and the people who would be concerned would read this thread.

The rules of SAU are fairly simple, and have been in place for a long time.

Everyone else manages to follow them, so im not sure why its such a task for you to do the same.

You knew the rules when you posted, and you have quoted them in this thread so the only problem I can see here is that you are more interested in throwing your hands up and having a whinge than respecting the simple rules that moderators and administrators set out for Skylines Australia.

A lot of work goes into providing this great free forum to our users, yet there are the odd few like yourself that arent members and have never made a contribution to the running of the forum (from what I can tell) who post away, with full knowledge of the rules in place, then complain when they are pulled up for breaking these very rules.

I have offered to discuss this with you via pm - Feel free to take up that offer

Its not like its hard. Just go to your original post, click edit then copy and paste everything. If the pictures where uploaded by imageshack or something there should be a link. so copy and paste away. takes like 10 seconds.

omg stop sucking up to the administrators, they're r not goin to f**k you. If you don't have anything useful to add don't say anything.

I'm happy to follow the rules. I haven't broken any as far as i'm concerned. All the information is on SAU. It is not an external link. I do not feel this is a loop hole. I think if anything the rules need to be amended. What's so hard bout hitting a link to the main thread anyway? I understand if its to a diff site but the same site, i don't get it. Then you have to manage two threads, then people will ask the same questions twice, then bla bla bla, a million other things.

Unecessary and annoying

Actually, I'd have to agree here.

A literal interpretation of 'external links' would have to be links to off-SAU. If the

rule actually meant 'any links' there's no reason to include 'external' - the inclusion

highlights its meaning.

The rule as written and explained seems to be to prevent people from posting a

for-sale item on a non-SAU site (the example is ebay) then linking to it from SAU.

If the link is internal to SAU then the rule as written is not broken - the mod

is enforcing an incorrect interpretation of the written rule.

The mods are supposed to be able to exercise their discretion; but the rules

are there so people know what behaviour is expected of them (and the rule

once written should be followed by the mods too).

If the desired behaviour is in fact 'no links' then the rule should be rewritten

without the word 'external'.

Personally, I can't see the point in maintaining two threads with potentially

exactly the same content. I don't see why links shouldn't be permitted within

intra-SAU threads. If we're worried that a person will 4-sale in every forum

under the sun, perhaps a rule could be written like 'keep your 4-sale posts

only to relevant forums - don't post in NT if you live in NSW' for example.

FWIW I don't think it's an 'abuse of power' - I think the mod _has_ incorrectly-interpreted

the rule, but that this isn't a deliberate or malignant interpretation. The mod is doing

what they believe that they should.

And I'd like to see the mod's justification as to why they think 'external links' should

include 'on-SAU links' too :)

Read the forum guidelines perhaps?

No Spamming

:)

Not sure who you're responding to, but I doubt that this is the rule

that was invoked.

If it were, there's no way the mod would have suggested copy/paste

the original content to a new thread - that's just as much spam as a link.

Is it really 'important' to post your ad in two places? I would have thought if you were worried about duplication the easy way would be to just post one thread. You've already got an (oversized) signature advertising your car for sale, not like it's easy to miss that whenever you post.

Edited by Candy

its the kind of car where i get calls from as far as adelaide so it is important not to only have an ad in the qld section. I've already explained this.

And what the f**k are you on about r31nismoid??? did you read the thread b4 u posted??

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
