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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.

      They are in fact just nozzles. They are there only to produce a spray pattern and limit flow. The injector itself is what I use to control flow to the 7x nozzles. My old system had no injector and only PWM the pump. This lead to a lot of inconsistencies, and poor atomization at low pressure when the pump was ramping up.
