Hey guys I've been toying with the idea for quite some time but have never really done any research on it. Basically it’s MIRC and i know most of you have used it with the exception that you don’t have to load anything into your computer. I’ve found a free online java client so all you will have to do is go to the webpage put in your username and type in your server and channel. And it will connect and you can all talk in the main channel called #SAU or you can private chat 1 on 1 so that no one else can see what you are saying. The only advantage on this is that ever one who is logged in will receive your message as it is sent so organizing meets or selling parts can be done quite simply.

to do this you need to go to this webpage (anybody that has firefox loaded in thier PC will have to use FireFox not internet explorer):

http://irc.netsplit.de/webchat/?net=AustNet

and in the section where it asks for "chat room" type in #SAU, make sure you type in the #

next line is "Nickname" anything you wish to call yourself.

and then click "start web applet"

it will take a few minutes for JAVA to load up and might even give you a warning about something or other just click yes.

and then should give you the client screen with the word "connecting"

now if it doesn't connect and you receive "Unable to connect : java.net.ConnectException : Connection timed out: connect "

just below that is where you type all your text type this "/server ezehost.il.us.austnet.org" hit enter and it should connect to Austnet and then #SAU and you will be

able to say anything you want in the main channel. or if you double click the names on the left you can private chat to any one else you choose.

This is a great way to chat in real time to other SAU members

Send me a Message if you are having any trouble connecting to the Server and ill do my best to help out. Some of you maynot be able to connectas your firewalls at work may not allow you to view the page but this can be fixed using a Proxy like www.blastproxy.com

Well I'm connected to Austnet but can't figure out how to then head into the SAU channel? None of the buttons are working either.

NVM, went back to the tab after writing that and it worked. *shrug*

this is really good considering there can be upto 300+ people online and get them in a room especially good for a quick meet say on a friday nigght maybe there is nothing planned but a few people in the chat wouldnt mind a cruise so they organise it there and off they go, no need to waste a forum post on a small cruise

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
