due to the amount of interest i have displayed in this particular topic, a few other members of the forum have PM'd, sms and one has even called me to express their dissatisfaction and asked me to bring forward an issue that has long since been troubling them.. apparently a huge number of members are not happy with Joe (PVA_Glue) and would like to see him replaceds as Mod. Among the reasons stated were inconsistent moderating (closing threads for no real reason) and a general lack of interest towards the club

this isnt neccesarily my opinion but pressure from my peers has forced me into bringing this issue out in the open with the hope of a positive outcome for all parties involved. let me repeat once again that im not offering myself for any post and in fact.. i believe the WA section could exist with even 3 mods..

whichever it is, its not my place to say.. im merely acting as a spokesman on behalf of my peers who want to see the forum improve.. im sorry to see it go this way coz i have been here since 2002 and Joe has been here even before me and i must say he has put in a lot of effort into the forums.. though maybe sometimes its best to step aside and let other ppl carry on with it

I am very sorry and grateful for the Job done by Liz and Dan as they had info others dont.

Remember that the Mods know when ppl have multi names and post things they wont under their real name.I had mods warn me also and have warnings against my name so its not one way.Thanks for those Ash:)

Remember there is always more to a story than you read on here.

Well done Mods.

Well thank you very much for your concern Bam as well as his people he is representing it.

I tell you I have no plane to abandoning the SAU forum, I will not leave the place because some group of people think I am not I quote "(apparently a huge number of members are not happy with Joe (PVA_Glue)) and would like to see him replaced as Mod.

Among the reasons stated were inconsistent moderating (closing threads for no real reason) and a general lack of interest towards the club".

I like to find out what inconsistency there are if there is any? with lack of interest?.

My absent of posts have been misrepresented as not doing the work but frankly since we have another new mod (sneeza) I have been step back.

I have expalined to all mods why I was away from SAUWA events.

when time comes I am sure my fellow mods and Prank will notify me.

I do not have to defend my position, I am happy with where I am.

and I dont understand since when I got the point of blame (if you call that or witch hunt)? I was doing as my job mod, that was right thing to do at the time.

I can not stress the fact that SAUWA is NOT same Entity as SAU Forum!!! as far as I know they are differnt Identiyty.

so SAU WA members can throw any personal opinions but end of the day it depends on remaining WA MODS and Prank will be making the final decitions who is MOd or not.

so thank you for your concern, we will look into it.

cheers

JOe :rofl:

You are dammed if you DO and you are dammed if you do Not!

And also to add to the original reason behind this thread..Tee Jay( sounds like a black rapper.lol), I forgive you , you bad boy!!hehe

Cheers

Ken

Bad boys for life

teejay aka dj tj the infamous black rapper :(

ill all honesty, while alot of anger was raised from me, and being a somewhat public figure of a car club in wa, ppl assumed that i was organising alot of the shit on here. i certainly wasnt, and now this is all over im happy i can un muddy my name to some extent.

perhaps the mods have the ability to see where a thread is heading, that's why they close it.

In the case of the recent whatever it was (thank God I missed it), obviously that's what the mods strive to avoid. So if they perhaps seem to act prematurely, we should at least give them the benefit of the doubt as I'm sure their intentions are good.

If someone has a beef with someone else, it's probably better to deal with it face to face and not in the public arena.

my 2.5c (inflation) worth

Dont worry guys u didnt miss too much. Some guy said something, got banned, thread closed, new mod discussion started and here we are.

U might be right with PVA there bambam he can get a little thread close happy from time to time but i wouldnt say any of the mods are or can be perfect. They do tend to get a little amped on occasion, after all they are only human like the rest of us but i believe that their hearts are in the right place.

Yes Dan he did have a blue 300 it was there on the day when the supra went bush bashing :) that thing had some huge rear wheels on it it looked like a dome tent from the back.

2rismo more than likely started this thread due to me.

We as admin/mods and you has forum users both have a set of guildlines to follow. Yes someone got banned but only because they had constantly broken the users guildlines and these infractions were reported to the mods. Thus we had to act on them. Some may see this as nazi or overmoderating, but different people find different things offensive. Which is why mods are always in a loose, loose situation as you can't please everyone on a public forum of this size.

As stated by 25GTT i've been around for ages from the early days of SDU some 5 or 6 years ago. Yes I have been a mod of the WA section for the entire time SAU as been active, since april 2002. In that time I have only moderated 235 posts/treads thats less than 2 a week, I don't see how thats overmoderating. The WA section has had its ups and downs but in my opinion it has run very smoothly considering its size and some of the topics that have come up.

To Kym with spliting the threads yes thats possible only problem is if you want to remove just one or two posts its much simpler to edit or delete them due to software package.

And Ken, Kyles still has nightmares about that drive in the Zed you gave her.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
