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

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
