ull find a lot more people care than the ones making an effort to complain, but personally for me its just too much hassle to PM mods about it for every single edit, instead (in the classifieds for example) i just create another thread with the first post updated with the correct details.

You shouldn't need to edit a post.

Clearly I do and so do lots of other people. You just outlined a way to give users access to be able to edit their posts that sounds very easy to me, why can't you do it? Surely it is more effort to reply to a PM and edit someone's post than to just add them to a list?

I really do not understand why you can't do this. If it is so much bloody effort give me access to do it, I'd happily sit here for an hour adding everyone who has complained in this thread with posts > 200 on the list.

It can be easily done, but you refuse on the basis that 'You shouldn't need to edit a post'. Even though 100s of reasons have been given in this thread and it obviously is a massive disadvantage to power users on this forum. I don't get it, you seem to get some sort of enjoyment out of this, much like when people on the forums are proved wrong.

Mate look - i've told you quite clearly it wont happen, that is that. If you dont like it or can't accept it, go elsewhere.

It is not as simple as you think, i use the Admin panel everyday, manually, forget it.

Even to do it via DB update would take ages due to user names and display names differing and various other issues that it has with group numbering on the backend DB.

Hey guys.. i need something sorted that is relevent to this thread.

I PM'd Ash regarding the matter but had no reply back :blush:

Can a mod or an Admin pretty please, with sugar on top delete my ancient thread which more than two years old in the For Sale section as they contain my contact phone which i don't them to be displayed.

Hi Ash,

Can you possibly delete my past few threads that date back to 2008 in the For Sale section please?

It holds my mob number and i really don't want it to be displayed there.

Cheers

I know it's a lot to go through but as you can see they're couple years old now and serve no purpose.

Or perhaps can you guys sort out function, or a link to get these old threads deleted by Admins to make it easy for both members and admins?

Cheers, thanking you in advance

did you try using the 'report' function and ask what you wanted to do there.? thats what the mods have said to use and i did it a couple weeks ago and it was taken care of (which is good because back when the edit function was first removed, reported posts were often never acted upon)

What about becoming a paying member? Does that give you the ability to edit? From what I can gather it doesn't.

If I'm right, why doesn't it?

This is hte only forum I've even chatted on that has removed the ability to edit posts and I have to say, it sucks the bag.

yup

So none of the money paid out by club members goes to maintaining the forum?

Being a member is not donating.

Club & Forum = separate.

The clubs have their own private area's to exist here, and SAU does not ask for any money from the clubs to do this.

So none of the money paid out by club members goes to maintaining the forum?

Nope.

President hat - I know Vic has given Christian a donation over the years and will again, i assume other clubs do this as well if they wish to.

Admin hat - However SAU does not require the clubs to donate, we are self sufficient for the most part (where we can) and put all the clubs up for nothing as goodwill to the community that has given birth to the clubs.

SAU Website/Forums & State Chapters = separate business enities. They are not linked financially.

No thread in Sale areas is removed so that other users can see your selling/purchase history.

What about phone numbers etc? I only want my number up there while an item is for sale....not up there for the world to see forever.

Can i just contact mods to edit the number out when item is sold?

Why not just do as aus300zx does and not allow ph # to be displayed publicly in sale threads, leave it to be sent out via pm or email only?

That way if there are any dramas regarding prank calls etc it can be traced back by the OP as to who he has sent numbers to etc. Not fool proof I know, but just a thought.

WOW this new thing where i cannot edit my Ad, or cannot add a reply is really crap.... Before the sale section was alive and kicking, lots going on, now its dead...

I have added 4 replys now to my post, waiting for them to be checked and added, after 4 days, only one reply got added, trying to add more pictures and change of price.. but no, it wont let me, and the "moderators" wont add my new info.

If things are gonna be checked, thats fine, but can they be checked quickly and then added!?

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
