Whoever is sending these Virul PM's to email adresses Get A Life. :thumbsup:

I got a suspect PM from a user called "brickerza" the other week. was clearly a dodgy automated msg with a link that i never followed (but was hosted in russia......)

I'd be thinking someone has found a hole in this version of IP.Board...

I got that too, it was a virus but I got rid of it, I got another one thismorning from a random user. I have thousands of hours of work I cant lose on my computer. How can we find out who is sending them?

If you dont know the user and it asks you to click on a link, delete it immediately

An update has been done to try and stop this. Basically:

- If you're just a regular member then you can only send one PM every 5 mins.

- SAU VIC, WA, QLD and NSW club members, mods, admins, traders and contributors can send unlimited PM's

- if your postcount is below 10, then you can no longer PM.

Its a good start! Well done Admin/Mods

The PM was from someone you have never spoken to before.

The PM contained nothing but a link.

A link to a RUSSIAN site.

............ YOU CLICKED THAT LINK?!?! :thumbsup::)

In any case, as PurpleR32 said, we have taken measures to reduce such cases of spam and virulent link prorogation. Unfortunately common sense is something we can't help with :)

Locking this up - refer to the feedback section.

But honestly - if you get a PM from someone

- You dont know

- With no posts

- Signed up in the last day or so

- Sends you some rubbish words and a link...

Use ya brain and dont click on.

      You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Duncan · Posted

      yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      By thatjawncrazy · Posted

      GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.

      Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
