Id prefer to pay a bit more membership each year, and a percentage goes towards up keep of the forum (thought that was actually already part of it!!)

On a side note, if you can get rid of all the spam posts, the forum will be better for it. Others forums dont seem to have as much spam as this one, is there a weak spot in forum registering?

Some other forums I've been on require you to have an email address linked to an account that requires proof of identity, so addresses through telstra, optus, etc. They don't allow hotmail, gmail, etc. This pretty much eliminates the spam, but also drastically cuts down member numbers and the amount of help you can get in the tech sections.

What about having fund raising cruises. Even if it's only once a year and people just chuck in $5.

Hi,

What about a very small % of sales, donations and say like a $15.00 membership fee for all. In the scheme of things its pretty cheap.

regards,

Todd :yes:

While a $15 fee might not seem like much, it may drastically reduce future growth of the site. For example, someone who purchased a skyline and then has questions can currently jump on here for free and ask questions. If they have to pay $15 upfront a large portion of them will just go to other forums where they don't have to pay. Sure, we all know that it's hard to find a better source of info than here, but someone just getting into skylines won't know that.

What about donations?

No can do. We need to be a registered not-for-profit, which we're not. So, ultimately as long as the 'buyer' is getting 'something' (even a tag under their name) and receive a tax invoice then they're not donations. :)

We pay two external spam services to check registrations. Check this link to get an indication of how much spam is kept out. This is def a priority though and we may need to bring on another service or have a one-week moderation period.

Yes.

Have donated (as my tag suggests).

Would do so again.

And everyone's jealous of my posting ability.

Even the auto systems kicked in when I was posting a fair bit to make sure I was "a human ".

This, I am jealous of.

Oh, maybe different tags for different amounts.

So everyone knows if you're a stingy bastard(like I was/am) or a high roller.

And possible benefits that go along with it.

Wasn't aware one will get no flood control from posts at the time I'd imagine after making contributions (I know I didn't).

Hence my suggestion earlier.

Unmoderated sub forum yes please

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
