I noticed that all of you who have bitched haven't contributed any money to Prank. I'm sure if you all gave even $10 each then he'd be able to keep the server up-to-date and faster for all who use it.

I have "Contributor" under my name, have you?

PLEASE fix this f*ckin server. It's VERY annoying.

I'm happy to donate to the forum, but it's gotta WORK first!

And with Prank's other business venture's into hosting, you think this site wouldn't be much of an issue eh?

working with web hosting and stuff you begin to realise how big of a job it is. they run on a massive database and the more people that use it the slower it comes. its inevitable.

Prank you've done an awsome job so far by the looks of it. keep it up.

i haven't had that message for aaaaages...then again I'm usually on at night when there's less traffic :D

thanks for comments Redback, i'm sure Prank will say so himself when he reads it...but it's nice to hear some positive feedback!

i totally agree it's inevitable, as with everything.

But the past month it's gotten a LOT worse. I dont think anyone would argue that.

Between the hours of 12pm and 6-7pm EST it's dog slow... and the server busy message comes up.

It can take me 15 mins just to load up a thread and read it due to server loads.

I understand building a bigger and better server (depending on where things are now) could be very costly. But an indication of just how much, or what is required would be superb.

I also too, think Prank's done a wonderful job. 4000+ members, more activity than a brothel, and the web-site/forums are all totally user friendly and fast to DL if your on dial-up

You could all do us a favour by instead of uploading images to the SAU server host them on your own ISP's server (whom you pay a monthly fee to). That way when someone opens a thread which contains your images instead of it hogging all of the SAU resources (which 99.8% of users haven't paid a cent to use) it will hog your ISP's resources (which are far far greater than SAU's) and it will make everybody much happier.

If you don't want to just "hand over money" then next time your at an SAU gathering help out another way. Myself and another NSW user bought a 30pk of coke cans for the last dyno day which would have made bout $15 profit after costs.

Hey Guys,

Firstly - to all that are whinging about it that haven't contributed, thats not cool - these forums owe me a SHIT LOAD of money that I never get back... I'm doing the best I can.

Secondly - thank you to all who have said positive words, it really means a lot to me!! :( :( :) You guys rock.

Ok, the problem that most people dont seem to understand, is that this site generates around 40+ gig of traffic a month, so hosting is virtually a full server for the site alone, but i can't afford that, so I have to share a server with a few other sites (which are also quite heavy). The guy who runs the server that SAU is on has said that he maybe getting another server soon, so that may fix it.. otherwise, until I see more money from members or businesses, I cant afford to pay for a server for the forums on my own.

I am thinking of running a nationwide (run seperately in each major city) SAU forums fund raiser cruise... if I can get $500 or so, that will get us on our own server for the next few months.

This one might be covered... VERY soon.

As part of going membership/social club for the VIC people.

We are looking at donating a good amount to the forums and their upkeep on behalf of each member as part of the membership/social stuff.

The VIC stuff is crueently being undertaken by myself... most of the vic moderators... and a few others :)

So should be quite soon. Next month or two ideally.

We have regular meetings so i'll raise this again. And hopefully try get you as close to $500 as we can. Maybe more :)

depends on the VIC take-up i guess

If you get time jump into some of the Vic sections. I'm assuming you can 'see' the ontes im reffering too.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
