For the last 2 weeks or so I keep getting board offline messages, or the page won't even load and just times out. Both errors happen on my work comp and home laptop.

Then when it finally works, I look at the times ppl have made posts and they were during the times I was having trouble so it's affecting individuals not the entire forum.

Anyone else having this problem? It's realy frustrating.

I see. I thought they moved server about a month ago when it was down for an entire weekend.

And others have been making posts when I couldn't access it, unless the post timestamps are wrong. Which is wierd.

Anyways I'll live, just thought I'd let admins know.

Cheers. :P

you couldnt get on because the DNS servers of your IP had not updated yet, while the people who were posting were doing so via updated DNS servers.

Heres a quick and dirty rundown;

The site has been moved to a new server and the old server has had its config updated to point to the new servers db. This means we have one db and two 'sites' until everybodies DNS is updated. Because I have fixed the search on the new server, people who are still getting the old server's 'site' will have some problems, but they will be fixed when the users' DNS is updated. (ie, I can search and view new posts with no errors at all).

Hopefully that makes sense, its hard to explain DNS stuff without pictures. Ask any q's, I might have to reply using an ms paint representation.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
