It seems the more chat there is the more fighting there is.

I'm not sure if you all realise this or not but behind the scenes at SAU there are discussions about getting rid of every single whore thread. If the online social side of things is not pleasant then it may just disappear altogether.

Please think before you post.

I clearly warned all of those who frequent the whore threads that if there was any repeat of the bitching, that the whore threads would go, permanently.

I was not kidding, and it seems too many people simply don't listen.

Unfortunately, actions speak louder than words so the whore threads of NSW will now be closed indefinately.

Those of you whose actions have brought this on know who you are, so perhaps you can explain to the other more mature members why the chat threads are no longer.

I'd like to know why people from places like the central coast, newcastle, south coast, hornsby etc are being punished for sh!t that goes on in other threads??? Nothing to do with us.....

Hardly fair....

Yeap thats true! I apologise for my childishness! Some things just bring out the worst and stupid in me!! I have already decided that my last comments will be just that.. the last! I am here to enjoy my car and meet new enthusiasts and to generally have a good time! I don't want all the crap going around to affect any of this.

that is all :rofl:

I think that the argument that came around thismorning was resolved by the people that started it and everyone shouldnt be punished for it. The fact that it was resolved shows alot more matturity than what has been around as of late.

just my 2 cents.

this all very well to close them down, but i know from experience its mainly happening in the whoretown thread not all the whore thread like central coast and such. but i think this will settle it down.

The bottom line is the whore threads have caused problems from the start, are a waste of space, and are nothing but pages of worthless crap.

I agree with Sam and others, it is unfair, especially on those who haven't acted like complete tools, but everyone was warned and those involved were told that if they didn't cut it out once and for all, the threads would go, thereby affecting many others.

Personally, I think that while its all good and well to want to talk to your friends all day, there are more appropriate chat mediums around to facilitate this, a forum isn't one of them.

Lifes not fair Tinks =(

Hopefully this will be a temporary thing and soon we can get our forums back, but if its permanent its kind of removing the reason I joined SAU, to chat with and organise meets with others from Newcastle (and the surrounding areas).

i to agree with this to, and i think that having this privilage removed will wake everybody up, and that those who have lead to this will now hopefully have more respect for the forum and its users

I agree, there are far more appropriate methods of talking to friends all day long, but in my experience (which is mainly the Newcastle thread) the members using it were more using it as a bulletin board rather than pages and pages of random chatter.

Will there be any system implemented to replace these threads? Perhaps a "one post per time limit" sort of deal (i know it would be a pain in the butt to implement, but it would be nice to get the community feel back).

And I do understand why they were banned and can accept and support the decision to stop them for the reasons the admins have mentioned above, but as Tinks said...what about the rest of us who werent abusing the service or others?

i go out to get a haircut and all shit breaks loose?

come on guys... i wasn't even gone that long >_<

on a more mature note: im not so sure losing the area threads is a great idea... i met pretty much everyone through those threads, heard about pretty much every event i went to, and was almost literally my doorway to SAU...

i introduced myself and was welcome with open arms... it made me stay, and now i am a paying member, have helped at several events and am always putting my name down to help on more events...

what about other new people? where do they go? do we have a new member make a thread about themselves every time?

anyway, moderating a forum is hard enough (I should know)... moderating this one would be impossible... doing a great job guys, making the tough calls :)

I second that.. Being on the SAU forums as a big time reader, not much of a poster, starting hanging around the central cost thread and got welcomed by some really friendly people and also starting chatting with members :)

Maybe I didnt communicate what I meant very well, but the above two posters have done so.

Removing the local threads removes the "community" feel of the boards.

Will there be any thought into providing a similar feature on SAU itself, or should we just kiss it goodbye?

As a side note: If you're from Newcastle - hit me with a PM so i can add you to friends

Long time listener, first time caller.. Lol..

That is true, and I don't disagree. I just wanted to add though that most chat/IM programs are blocked at workplaces - even SAU is blocked at my school (along with most URLs with the word /forum/ in it). Therefore hence the ease of accessing a webpage (forum) and communicating on all that.

Im just gonna leave it at that. Just wanted to add my 2c

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
