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.

      That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

      It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

      Blue slip

      South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
