limited funding comes down to much of how the forum is setup, its moderators and how it betrays itself in comparison to other forums like boost and nissansilvia

Good thing we have the best moderators in the business. :)

The forum is setup excellently.

Its run to exist, not to profit (like boost cruising/NS.com).

There is a key difference it think you fail to comprehend. Loz makes quite a pretty penny out of NS.com each year... but im sure you already know that.

Im no saying this is the best forum feature wise, however i think the community here on SAU is arguably one of the best

Any idea how much longer it will be before the search function is back, the question i have may have been answered but i doubt it.

Oh bugger, it was back but is down again. ;)

I'll sort this out tomorrow (Sunday).

It was fixed an hour ago but now its down again.

The problem is that because we have 2 web servers, it is fixed on one but not the other, so it will work intermittently. Doesn't help when testing :happy:

ohh yeh, im aware of the pennies it makes for him each year, specially the parties he puts on at his place on the goldy every now and then :P

but the point to what prank would want to be doing is making the money to cover the cost to run this place instead of pulling dosh out of his families pocket every year.

i for one know of a few businesses here in qld that dont want anything to do with sau because of it's moderators and admins.

then again, some of them also dont want anything to do with arrogant skyline drivers just like we dont want anythin to do with ferrari drivers, am i right?

There are always going to be people who don't like us for whatever reason. We have been the reason behind a few branch-off forums like Skylines-NSW and others. At the end of the day you simply cannot please everybody no matter how hard you try and if those businesses dont want anything to do with us, then thats fine. Just means that we have more room for the businesses who do.

I used to almost lose sleep (literally) when people decided to leave because they didn't like the way things were run, these days I just let it happen and hope that the members who stay will give feedback and constructive criticism about how we can make it better for them.

Well we have over 50,000 registered users

I think roughly 20 businesses paying to advertise to that member base...

And just another silly stat - the For Sale area's as a total, have over 1,000,000 views a month. :bunny:

As C said, if there are some places, somewhere, who dont like SAU - good luck to them.

The traders we have here are all happy, a fair few have been paying regularly for 3-4 years and i get enquries about once a month from businesses and some come onboard, some do not.

So the forum without question exists and survives no problem there, but that is all it will do, exist and run. It's not going to make 50,000/year as that's not what SAU is about IMO. ;)

:) there doing the best they can in there private time.

they have lives outside of this to feed their family's, in there spare time they could be going out shooting pool, going to pubs. but when the shit hits the fan's as Mod's they stay in and fix the problem, so just sit back and be patient.

keep up the good work guys

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
