After almost 7 years and 101 posts here, the mods (if they ever actually see this post) can cancel my SAU membership.

This site used to be great. Now it is SHITE. People put up posts blatantly trying to sell rubbish such as acne treatments etc etc or other non related websites and the mods don't seem to care.

There is hardly any traffic here anymore either.

If I was a site sponsor or advertiser I would be extremely unimpressed.

I used to enjoy my daily dose of SAU, now there is no point visiting because there are usually no new posts (except for the above mentioned spammers).

I don't know what else to say except for thanks for the good times and goodbye.

Completely agree with terry to the point that I absolutely did not see any 'them and us' attitudes at all. I had a fantastic chat with the owner of an R35 (could have been Chris, I'm terrible with nam

I don't think the Admins like this any better than you Adam.

Pretty thankless task really - when maintenance procedures either need to be fixed or getting another mob.

I know that many people are flooding across to Fb, but there'll be frequent visits back to SAU to investigate...

I wouldn't say sau is useless. If you dig down deep you can find what you want. Great archives.

I agree its a bit cluttered atm but you learn to avoid them. Honestly if you click on something that doesn't sound car related then you're a dill. Except for wasteland.

This site still serves it's purpose as there are many veterans on here that have probably got the answer to my question. But just like any society you have to sift through the shit to get to the gold

Silly question, but you do realise that the posts about acne treatments and the like are created by spambots rather than by 'real' SAU members? Their business model depends on them actively seeking out ways around any spam-prevention methods that we (or anyone else) tries to implement - spam is certainly not a problem unique to SAU. We do our best but some spam will inevitably get through, and yes there has been a few bouts of it recently. As it's first in the list the R35 forum will see a fair chunk of it.

Honestly, the spam sucks but it's also a fairly standard part of the internet these days. Hit the report button if you find any and a mod will clean it up, I've actually just spent 2 hours banning spam accounts and deleting their threads so we do do it.

There's an existing thread on the spam in the feedback section: http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/448997-dealing-with-spammers/

You should head to the whoretown wasteland.

It's full of exciting stuff featuring me most of the time. And others of similar nature, it's spam free.

The ironing from the first post was strong, very strong.

Have had a few spam issues lately, but that's noting uncommon - It's happened 2-3 times in a major way before. Last time was approx 2 years ago.

The SAU Facebook group gets hammered all the time as well, just part and parcel of the internets these days.

Anyway not a lot of point to this thread really, I did get a laugh though

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
