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

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By feartherb26 · Posted

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
