WA: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...&threadid=28043

BTW - Recognition for the T-Shirts donation should really go 50:50 to P1E and those who bought T-Shirts as it was a team excersise.

So donate people !

I would presume that 'a new server' means a dedicated, real , live phyical server !

I dunno what SCA drives are - is that the same as Serial ATA ?

But Web Server drives should be SCSI - ATA drives are no good for multi user environments

Server NICs should be multi-homed / teamed.

ISP Service provider should provide load balancing at layer 2 & 3.

Web server should be backed up daily to local tape drive

MySQL database should be shut down (Sau unavailable) during backup windows. ( or hot backup enabled)

Full change control should be implemented.

etc, etc.

my 2c

Woa, did you just quote me this out of a textbook? :D That's Project Management material sir!

SCA are the 80 pin honda hotswap connectors used on SCSI drives.

There have been a few writeups on ATA/SATA raid configs used in large live environments, given the cost I don't really see the need for SCSI drives anymore... unless you get them at an _extremely_ good price (like free ;)).

Just as a side note, I think that list might be a little old. I know I've sent about 150-200 all up now...

But your right.. More people should donate instead of taking this site for granted.

Prank does a great job, spends a fair wack of time doing it, and get's paid nothing !!

wow - thanks guys!! I really appreciate it!!

Regarding the server, as donations come in quite sporadically, I have opted for a HP P4 2.0Ghz (IDE) 80GB drive and have just upgraded to 1 gig of RAM.. If I get enough donations and more, I will put it on a Dual Xeon server next year with SCSI drives. It is entirely SAU's server with nothing else going on it (apart from 5mb blocks of webspace for donaters) and the physical server is in the US. It should make everything much better and we can upgrade again later if we need to.

Thanks again guys.

Don't wish to sound rude, though u sure the box has been configured properly? With hardware like that (bar the ide drive), it should absolutely scream for just this website.

Im happy to offer any help to get things running better, got a fair bit of experience with it all, though im sure many others are in IT here as well.

On a side note Ill donate in a month or 2 when I have abit more cash :) These forums have provided an endles amount of very handy knowledge.

      By Sleepergm · Posted

      Yeah I heard the same. Might be hard to order one. But then I guess can go to hks or go to a more expensive n1 block with tomei. Guess will jump the hurdle once I get there next upgrade around. I can’t get work done in the states as the lead time will take for ever on top of shipping to Hong Kong.

      https://www.platinumracingproducts.com/en-us/products/nissan-rb26-cast-blocks This is the solution I was thinking of. I would stay away from Tomei USA, their quality is a question mark to me. If you want an engine machined in the US contact Club DSPORT: https://clubdsport.com/ Tomei JP is probably fine but I recall they stopped doing pre-assembled short or long blocks. In general it's pretty tough to get any kind of RB26 block at the moment with Nissan so severely backordered.

      PAR specifically offers stock ratios in their gearset and you could do whatever ratios are physically possible supposedly for no extra cost. I agree 6 ratios is better than 5, the factory 2nd gear is equivalent to the Getrag 2nd gear if you account for the differing final drive ratio though. The Getrag 3rd gear with a 3.916 final drive is equivalent to a 1.6 2nd gear in the FS5R30A. I'm about to swap the transmission out on my car, I'm tempted to send the one I have now out for rebuild with the standard "cross ratio" gearsets out there to see if it really makes such a big difference the next time I pull the transmission.

      This is what I was looking at next:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/engines/tomei/tomei-rb26-28l-short-block-assemblies-p-45479.html as we can’t bore the cylinders out in hk so better just buy the whole lot in one and install then retune. Everyone saying the weak link are the bolts holding the rods together. I already did valve springs, arp head bolts, hks racing coils, nismo fuel pumps and pressure regulators, injectors etc for the top of the engine.
