yeah, looks like the 28th never happened lol

this also includes PM's. eg. i received a PM today, as new, that I had already recieved on the 27th. And no PM's from the 28th exist.

no complaints here. just keeping you guys informed.

Yep, and the evening of the 27th as well I think!

I received 3 PM's (email notifications), but there are none here.

Just wondering if PM's and posts will be re-instated.

I know you guys would have been onto it for a while now, so no complaints... just curious if the posts/PM's are still on a disc somewhere or are they lost?

Hiya,

Forums have been down for me for most of the day - I was unable to resolve the skylinesaustralia.com domain; Neither of the nameservers appeared to be reachable. A traceroute wasn't suceeding either. Bypassing DNS, I tried telnetting to port 80 on 208.69.126.31 (though this appears to be one of the DNS servers!), and this failed too suggesting it was more than a DNS failure.

I'm guessing either some sort of server failure or a routing issue from Australia? I tried from 3 different IP ranges (home, two from work) and still no luck. Are you guys aware of any issues? Do you guys report on those issues on the forums somewhere so I can not bother you in future? ;)

Anything that is missing - wont be returning.

As per the announcement some features will slowly come back online as things return to normal... however the core stuff PMs/Posts/Threads if they are not there now; have gone bye bye's.

The backup by my rough checking shows the last posts were from approx 4am-5am on the 28th being thats the last post i could see upon the restore.

In effect most of the 28th went missing. So a bit more than a few hours, but less than a day's worth overall.

Shit happens unfortunately guys, no need to get too worked up over it :P

Im lucky all the SAU-SA members setup/creation work i did was still there hehe, that would have been a solid 4hrs of config changes out the window!

Yeah sorry guys, a bit more was lost than initially suspected. :P

Also, the search indexes are being rebuilt, it will likely be back online tonight or tomorrow morning.

Thanks for your patience. :(

heh, I don't know how much work and effort goes in, but I imagine it is a fair amount.

Good work getting things more or less up to speed in a relatively short amount of time guys.

Can I ask that the clock is fixed up though?

It is about 4hours behind.

Thanks for your dedication & hard work on this, PranK.

As a sysadmin/netadmin myself for work, and having hosted car forums on my personal servers in the past - I know how effort goes into managing/maintaining all this stuff. Keep it up ;)

2gig, 4gig, etc fiber raid???

and what servers are these?

and what are you backing up to? external server or a san or tapes?

Um, why all the questions?

For the record, backups are now taken 4 hourly.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
