We are out of space - or very near to it.

SAU doesnt run on air - we need cash to keep it going... simply put we cannot afford anymore space.

So either donate and help (thanks J'z-R33), or host them with a 3rd party site and link them in your post.

Sorry its not a better answer, but this site has grown from 35k users to over 50k in roughly 18months... so its VERY fast.

Just to let you guys know, it costs 4 figures a month to run this site, not cheap at all :banana:

Fire cleanses all :banana:

OR you could maybe just ask people to clean out their PM inboxes or something? I think I have like 70 odd pages of crap I'll probably never read again...

Unless there is a seperate image server or something...

There isn't, but I can tell you that only the execs have a lot of PM space and that doesn't account for much on the server.

Have almost sorted new Australian hosting though with images served from Amazon.

Yeah I know, before I was officially an Exec I was cleaning out my PM inbox every fortnight... I haven't done it since :banana:

I wish I could help you, I actually work at an internet provider, but our prices aren't very friendly unless you're a rather large corporation :bunny:

PM's dont take up much unfortunately.

One picture in reasonable res would take up more than 1/2 my inbox of many 1,000's of messages.

Top work on some AUS hosting if we can bring it back here, that is excellent news.

I might draw up an announcement about donations, never hurts to get some extra cash to let us give the best :banana:

I'd be happy to delete old images if it helped, but I suppose alot of people would need to do it as well.

Problem is though getting people to do so, virtually impossible.

Add to that people who no longer use the forum, dead accounts, we cant just purge them incase they come back - and purging would be not so nice as im sure we have plenty of accounts taking space for nothing.

But like i said, if even HALF the users donated just $5 to SAU - we'd never have a problem with hosting/space/downtime for a very long time :banana:

There is no need for donations. In fact I plan to remove the option soon as we are being covered by the banners and I'd hate for people to think we have limitations due to the cost. The problem is that when I got this server, our image store was ~50gb and it has grown so quickly over the past 8 months that we have just outgrown the drives. I could just have the drives upgraded but with the current exchange rate, its not as cost effective to leave it in the states any more.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
