Yep, heard about this too.

I work for a hosting company as a product manager, and i thought of this idea..

Why dont we use a .htaccess file to detect if their IP Address is coming from know Bad IP's (i.e Police Headquarters) and set a rewrite rule to a page saying, "you are breaching T & C's of this forum, access denied." ??

I know its possible, ive done something similar myself, and would seem to prevent alot of heartache, and stop wasting tax payers money for some clown to sit infront of a computer all day surfing forums and eating donuts!

It would require identifying suspect accounts, and logging their access IP's, then we could also research where each states relevant police datacentres are located and block these IP's too.

Only way they could get around this is by using a proxy server i guess.

I guess its alot of effort, and still no way to 100% guarentee that they wont get access, but just an idea :P

id back you 100% ^^^^

Wow Great! Thanks for the support guys. :P

I can write the code for the .htaccess file and email it to one of the administrators to add to the current file.

I have no idea who i would email it to though when its done..? Any ideas guys? Also we would need people to contribute any known bad IP's.

Wow, i'd be surprised if the police were that pathetic. We keep hearing about the lack of police resources, surely they wouldn't be wasting their time looking at a forum for who has a pod filter. I'd be shocked and amazed...

Car modifiers/clubs/enthusiast are the scum of the earth. Their cars should be defected and owners treated like a scumbag criminal just for taking an interest in enhancing their car. They're as low as pedophiles and should have tax payer's money spent to have someone keep a watchful eye on everyone last one of them!

Your all a bunch of murderers and rapist.

Ahhh yep they do come on here for sure.

The cop at mallala actually actively goes on the R31 club forum (r31skylineclub.com) and answers questions and stuff as well as other forums too.

He does it in his own time but there is no reason that others wouldn't do the same.

I know a few of the gawler coppers as my g/f helps with blue light disco there... I reckon I know the pommie guy... usually a good bloke.

As above, I have about 3-4 mates on these forums that are police officers with imports...heck I even used to sponsor one. :(

I would say there are alot more that surf these forums especially nissansilvia.com being as it was the most viewed auto website for the last couple years etc.

Blocking access via .htaccess seems like a good idea, but I'd be against it. You cannot say for sure that all cops that visit these sites are bad and are out to get you. Discriminate much? I've heard of all the bad stories about defects and such but as pointed out above, theres some good people in there too!

I'd propose a flag to mark them as Cops instead of blocking access, why would they have a legitimite reason to say they aren't officers? Give the something like the [has donated] tag and that way it's good PR for them, they should be representing the force in a good way and if they aren't we shoot them down! Well maybe not literally :(

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By tylink720 · Posted

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
