SAU Community

Recommended Posts

Having SAU promoted through this kind of medium is a huge bonus, especially for people who's not aware of these forums itself.

And if Andrew wanted to make money on the DVD's, he would've priced them a lot more than 15 bucks. Where on earth can you find newly released motoring DVD's for that price?

So you're saying he does it for the love of it? And works for free?

Giving SAU a wrap on the dvd doesn't help SAU pay the bills associated with running the forum.

Looks like the rules in the business trader section doesn't apply equally to everyone.

forum police ?

Why are we back on this topic again. FFS! OMG Andrew posts up a thread about an awesome DVD, better than the 20 threads on BOV's and P platers taking turbos off that you see every day. I'm sure if Prank had a problem with him he would speak to him about it, obviously he doesn't so why do some of you guys?

[200] if there is something untoward going on in your opinion simply hit the report post button on the post that you think is against the rules so its reported to the moderator section. Thats what ive done in the past, seems to work and keeps everyone happy.

I was curious to know why he's allowed to do it though, the mods are usually pretty strict with this sort of thing. I know I wouldn't get an explanation if I was to hit that button which is why I haven't done it.

I just think it is unfair for the traders on the forum that they have to make a payment (not cheap either!) before they can start to advertise their products where the OP can just start a thread and flog his dvd. I bet if anyone reading this started to advertise in the trader section they would be closed down in a day.

Like I was suggesting before, the OP using SAU or whatever on the DVD does not contribute to the running costs of this forum.

IMO if he wants to trade / advertise he can do it like everyone other trader on the forum.

looks like a good dvd mate. i will be picking a copy up today. i find it impossible to find a good import dvd these days most of them suck, but this is a winner and its australian, keep up the good work.

OK, enough of this crap. Each DVD cost more money to make than I would ever want to admit and just covering the R34 10th Anniversary cruise costs me over 3 grand, and yes, OUT OF MY POCKET

so being allowed to let people know about the DVD in return for covering relevant events is totally fair.

Im not just some newbie production company trying to make some quick cash you know, I've been in the scene for over 10 years and many people can vouch for it, so keep it on topic, if you dont like it then keep it to yourself.

To everyone else, thanks for the support and glad you like the DVD

ppl need to chill hey.

[200] - here's a thought. He's not actually trading on the site is he? He's not selling anything through the site. It's up to you whether you go buy it from the newsagency.

And as PM-R33 said, if Prank, or any of the other Mods had a problem, they would act on it fairly quickly.

I've personally worked with Andrew (this is gonna cause a sh*t fight i can see it), but he works bloody hard to give you guys awesome footage to watch! And yes as he said, the R34 GT-R Cruise did cost him alot to even cover (i know this because i was the one that approached him to start with regarding covering it and he explained that to me) So that's money he's pulled from his own pocket, to try and support an event that SAU created.

And yes your right. There was no mention of SAU on the cover. BUT...think of it this way.

The forum is exposed on the DVD, as has already been discussed, by the many shots of SAU stickers, and mentioned by Andrew himself (he also mentions the cruise was organised on SAU)

People who are not necessarily on the forum, see this and think "wow thats pretty cool i want to be a part of that" and join the forum.

Having more members on the forum, leads to higher possibilities of more ppl donating to the forum, this then equals higher revenue for the forum. And in a nutshell that allows for the forum to keep running so that you can continue talking crap on here.

I fail to see how your shit posts are helping to pay the bills either. If the moderators have an issue with him giving us a heads-up on the new DVD then let them deal with it. It's not like he's trying to shift dodgy iPhones or cheap shit china import parts. At least this production gives something back to the community and if we fail to support it, then it won't be around long hence we're back to square one - bored. I'm sure you don't work for free so if the Motive DVD team happen to make any cash off what they're doing good luck to them.

Anyway on a lighter note, I've watched all 3 DVD's so far and enjoyed. Great coverage of everything with minimum bullcrap. Can't wait to see what else is coming up. The sponsor plugs are a bit obvious but without sponsors nobody gets paid I guess :blush:

You totally missed the point - good to see the user name accurately describes you.

Picked up my copy this morning, great production. Nice cars, sexy chicks. Pretty much had everything apart from interspecies love.

Does that mean no Nissans with Toyota engines?

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
