Noooooo dont PM me... :( I get too many a day as it is!

Just post in the other thread about it next time (2-3 down from this one)

I'll ban each account as it comes through etc etc

Although - i think another Admin beat me to it this time, i cant see the account

Cheers!

yeah it's a bummer. but to give users some privacy even admins cannot access other users pm box or read or delete pms in there. so it's not easy to combat. common sense is the only weapon you have. so let's use that! if you get a pm from an 'administrator' that signed up 2 days ago, has no admin tag and sends you to a site that ends in .ru then I say think carefully before clicking. for those that don't know if you mouse over a link your browser will display the URL that you're going to in the bottom left corner of your browser window. so you can check without clicking it. :banana:

.ru link in pm titled Weekend

x2. I got that one too.

I was smart enough to notice the '0' post count, so just deleted it.

Its wierd, this is the only forum i have ever been on that suffers from this amount of spam!

Got a PM from Brickerza last night that was titled "Weekend".

Inside it suggests that I should click on a link with the words "Do it now!" which was underlined.

Of course I didn't do this...

This would have taken me to "http://iefa.ru/"

Do we need to ban this User?

Surely there should be a way to implement a general limit on the number of PMs forum users can send per day, especially those with 0 or very few posts.

I think 20 PMs/day would be more than enough for everyone but mods/admins.

I just got one too with the same link.  It's undoubtedly a malware site that will install some horrible rubbish on your computer by merely visiting it.  I didn't click it either.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      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.

      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?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
