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.

you dont chat at times. You more so abuse.

And your temper is your own problem to sort out, its not an excuse or a scapegoat as to your behaviour

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.

      So.....wire it up appropriately. You can't use the resister pack with those injectors anyway.

      ahh okay cheers, i was thinking of just going for the m073, think m079 would be way too overkill considering they are same size.

      My first car was a HG. I'm very familiar with them. A mild cam upgrade is a good idea. The 186 is a very flexible engine - meaning it has good torque from down low. You can give up a little torque down low for quite a lot more excitement in the mid range, and a bit more up top - but they are not exactly a rev monster. You need to upgrade valve springs at the minimum. For a bigger cam, you'd want to make sure it wasn't still running the original fibre cam gear. That would be unlikely, given that most of them shat themselves in the 70s and 80s, but still within the realms of possibility. Metal cam gear required. Carbies are a huge issue. The classic upgrade was always a Holley 350, which works, but is usually pretty bad for fuel consumption. The 186S had a 2 barrel Stromberg on it that was very similar to the one on the 253, and is a reasonable thing if you can find one, and find someone to help you get it set up (which is the same issue with setting up a 350 to work nice). The more classic upgrade was twin sidedraught CD type carbs, or triples of same, or triple Webers. The XU-1 triple Webers being the best example. You can still buy all this stuff new, I think, but it's a lot of coin to drop. And then the people able to set them up are getting fewer and further in between. There's still some, but it used to be everyone's** dad and uncle could do it. **Not everyone's! But a lot. All in all, I wouldn't get too carried away with the engine. Anything you do to it without a full rebuild for power and revs will only make it slightly faster. I am all in favour of a complete teardown rebuild, with nice rods and pistons, 10 or 10.5:1 compression, and a clean port job with at least a big enough cam to run 98 with that compression, if not bigger. And if I did that to a dirty old red motor, I'd want to inject it too, which I'd struggle to fight against the devil on my shoulder that would argue for ITBs and trumpets. But the bills would start to mount up, and it will still never make stupid power. OK, a few people still know how to build absolutely mental red motors, courtesy of the work that went into HQ racing and modern knowledge being applied. But even a 300HP red motor is no match for an RB20 with a TD06. So you have to decide what it's worth to you. I'd just put a set of 6>2>1 extractors, a 2.5" exhaust and an electronic ignition conversion/dizzy on it and just run the old girl like the fairly slow old girl that she really is.
