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.

    • 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.
