Hello all....

was wondering if having a "for sale" section only for wheels and tyres would be a good idea....

Only asking cause i'm looking for a new set and it takes aaaaaages going through heaps of unrelated posts, also, i know that lots of people like to collect wheels :) and having such a section would benefit a few.

good idea???

or

We are redesigning the whole For Sale section shortly and also merging all the separate state sections all into one area.

It will be filtered to a degree to make it easier for people to find things.

So to the separate section just for wheels - that will just go backwards from what we are intending.

An idea on this as well.

Make it mandatory that you have to put your state in. Like a drop down box.

Then when searching in the classified area, you have next to the thread title in small red text the state, or State - Town.

Also the ability to EDIT your posts at any time is so handy. Being able to update for sale threads makes it easier for people to understand what you have sold and what you still have.

Yep - 2 hours is the limit.

Any edits due to inaccuracy/spelling we found generally occurs inside that time. Outside that time dodgy traders were using it as a method of ripping people off. Soon as we made the change, literally overnight, the level of bad trader complaints dropped by 80% and now it's @ the point where I get 1-2 a month rather than 1-2 a week which for the community, is a good thing even if it's a bit painful.

So what do we do? Put up with it?

Its annoying as seller having an out-dated cluttered thread.

As a buyer its annoying going through 10+ pages of posts to find out if that one small item on Post 1 is still available or not.

95% of threads are not longer than a single page (so less than 20 posts, infact most are less than 10).

So the 5% that do extend beyond that on the odd occurrence, well simply, there is not much we can do about it. We aim to protect users as best we can and ensure selling/buying on SAU is one of the better experiences across the internet forum(free) landscape.

We might allow editing for Contributors (if Christian brings it back)... Otherwise it's been that way for 3/4 years now and not going to be changed.

Unfortunately SAU isn't like Australian politics, so the very small minority isn't going to get their way on this one as the pros far outweigh the cons :)

as ash said, there are very few for sale threads that go past 1 page.

and the whole point of not allowing editing of for sale threads was to stop dodgy traders advertising something and then selling something different and then changing the post afterwards to what he actually sold to make it look like it is the buyers fault for reading their post wrong. or simply deleting their post all together

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
