Hey anthony, I remember when your banning took place, and it was before the warning system.

We put that in place so that people would have a fair go.

As for racial bias, AFAIK no-one selcts race as a field when they register....so I can't see where bias would come into it.

Re people signing up again, I'm not aware of any way to ban an IP, and even if we could it could cause trouble with other people from the same ISP. We can and do ban again as soon as we are sure its the same person but that can be difficult.

And finally for my rant, IT IS NOT A FARKING DEMOCRACY HERE. PranK makes up the rules, the moderators enforce them. If you don't like them feel free to go elsewhere.

but seriously you guys take this forum to seriously, whats the big deal. i get banned for stupid things like making comments to stupid people who have no idea about cars, merli and blitz seriously you guys need to get out more the world doessnt revolve around this forum and your skyline pushing 200kw@flywheel. ive sold and vought stuff from people on the forums and have actually met a few good blokes, and for merli you must take a fancy to me if i came up in a conversation you were having last night. but sorry i dont go that way.

You came up in conversation at an SAU Monthly dinner, where we sometimes talk about.................... SAU :D (and it's IQ-challenged members :()

But yeah, you're right... My skyline only puts out about 200kw@flywheel, but I bought it stock and modified it myself. I guess I could always go and find someone else's car and buy that. That way I could buy my way into power without actually knowing anything about cars, or being able to drive them down the 1/4 mile myself hsugh.gif

But I'm not sure what the power of my skyline has to do with anything? Is that the only thing you have over us? I guess it is, because intelligence definitely isn't on that list, otherwise you'd have quickly figured out why you were getting banned from repeated warnings and stop it.

In any case, as I said, you're just annoying. It's more about the scammers and people who blatantly rip others off like doridori/mines_datsun that just prance around bans that worry me. Their actions don't just annoy people, they actually put people out of pocket of their hard-earned money.

AFAIK, there's an option in the Admin CP that allows you to set IP bans. I have also heard that it is quite buggy and doesn't always translate correct subnetting and can ban entire classes instead :Oops:

The best way to ban people is through a simple .htaccess file put into the root directory that contains:

Deny from 128.1.1.1 (for the host 128.1.1.1)

Deny from 214.12.34 (for the subnet 214.12.34.0/24)

Deny from 10 (for the whole 10.0.0.0/8 subnet)

chatting to people about ttheir cars,  thats why i come back, i might have a very bad  temper but as  some people know im calm most of the time.

Just because you Ban there IP doesnt mean they cant post on someone else's computer or create an account on some public computer or whatever. :werd: to the people who said you cant just ban straight away ect. But in someone like Wreckedhead's case thats should be an I.P ban because its getting out of hand, and by the sounds of it Merli and Blitz are thinking that to. But like I said banning Wreckedhead's I.P wont stop him 100% from posting on SAU.

P.S 'Wreckedhead' I wasnt aiming at you on purpose, just for example.

      Blue slip

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...

      Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Oh, and as for everyone with their fuel economy changes, I switch between E10 and 98 in the company car. Even do when I had personal cars that could run on E10. You know what changed my fuel economy in any noticeable way? How I drove, and where I drove. Otherwise, say on full tanks of just back and forth from work only (So same trips, same sort of traffic), couldn't notice a difference that I can correlate to the type of fuel in use. In the current vehicle, that's over 42L of USABLE fuel. While 98 is all "more energy dense", it also has higher knock resistance as it takes more energy to get it to ignite too. The longer hydrocarbons, typically more tightly bound. So running the same ignition map, can also produce less power, if there isn't enough time to get it all burnt through properly, as yep, the flame propagation speed is different from lower octane fuel to higher (Higher has a lower flame propagation, due to the more tightly bound and harder to self ignite funs. This is also typically where, a vehicle that is designed purely to run on 91 (Whether it be E10 or normal 91) usually sees absolutely no real world difference in fuel economy for the normal man, woman, or dog.

      We've got some servos around me that have 91 with E10, 91 (no E10), 95, and 98. At those stations the change from 91 E10 to 91, is typically around 8c/L.   But lets not get started on the price of fuel in Oz. It's ridiculous. All the service stations around me, bar one, the price of fuel has been over the $2 mark per litre for the cheapest, 98 being around $2.45. That one service station is a CostCo, fuel from it comes from the same refineries, and makes no pitstops, it runs great, including the 98. In fact, I've had no issues on CostCo fuel, but plenty of issues at other stations!. The CostCo fuel, was $1.65 roughly this week for 94 with E10. $1.88 for 98. Servos directly across from it, $2.10 for 91 E10, and $2.48 for 98. The part I had to laugh at? If I drive multiple HOURS away from Brisbane, say out near Nanango, or Kingaroy, or even out to Goondiwindi, the price of their fuel, is the same as what it is at the CostCo... Oh, and that BP servo at Goondiwindi is HUGE and goes through epic turnover of fuel, so it's not sitting there for weeks going to shit. And what blows me away, my mate is one of the people who drives the Fuel Tanker all around QLD, delivering to all those places. At the same company his previous role was doing the "local haul" deliveries... Same truck, same driver, same pickup point it all comes from. So you tell me, how the hell it is 60c/L CHEAPER for fuel, when nearly all else is equal, except they require a B-Double to drive half a day out of Brisbane, and half a day back, every second day, compared to the delivery that can be under 30 minutes drive from the fuel pickup point... Not to mention, go five blocks down the road, and Ampol to Ampol will vary 30c/L... And I've had this conversation with my mate... The way it's priced, is just typical, pure and utter rubbish... He also does runs from Brisbane, to all over QLD, down to Newcastle, Sydney, Nowra, Melbourne, Geelong, and even out to parts of the NT depending on the companies needs. His main stuff is all the longer distance away from home for a few days at a time, then when he's back, he loves to just pickup extra shifts wherever he can in whichever truck, hence all the weird different places.   Oh, as for getting E10 into all the fuels in Australia... It was very quickly highlighted, that we don't have enough biomass available to use to make E10 sustainably like they require, and it would dramatically cut into our, and the worlds food chain supply...   I vote we all just start running on liquid methane gas... Plenty of that just getting tapped off at tips from underground decay... (Note, this is pure just stupid commenting. I could very easily highlight the reasons its not a good idea especially on scale...)

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
