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.

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Duncan · Posted

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
