OK, I can agree 100% if that's the reason why mine was deleted... however...

What about encouraging the use of a pirated version of a licenced product... aka the "VINS you want "fasted"" thread...

Double standards? Think about it...

admin/mods are responsible for assessing forum content.

If people own illegal software we can't stop them from using it.

This is no different to:

If people own a car with illegal modifications, we can't stop them from driving it.

If they get caught, the onus is on the individual, and the forum is in no way at fault.

Links to illegal downloads will be removed, the same way that discussion of any other illegal activies are removed.

(However, the person who removed it should have sent you a PM stating why it was removed)

SAu will not be your partner in crime.

So why then is the "VINs you want fasted" thread acceptable?

* It's a thread based around software that is being used illegally

* People post screenshots of perhaps confidential/private Nissan (as in the company) information

* People are discussing the above two things... therefore it's discussion of an illegal activity...

Should it not also be removed?

Also "discussion of any other illegal activities" - modding a car illegally - sure, you can't make the driver stop driving it - but using the logic stated in your post - then you should at least be removing threads discussing illegal modifications (anything that breaks emissions/noise/road safety/environmental laws... as modifying is an activity, and is being discussed...

Also this thread -----> http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...4182&st=920

Should be deleted :(

is it really this important?

it was a single thread.

get a tissue, wipe your eyes, and move on.

I mean, prank owns this site, if he doesnt want some thing on it, for whatever reason, who are you to tell him otherwise?

Menthu_Rae technically you're right. All those threads should be removed as they do discuss copyrighted information that is only supposed to be accessible to a select few.

However, there is some merit in those threads, and as such we've decided to draw the line at not allowing people to directly link to torrents and sites for the software.

Hope that helps. Its a very grey area.

Yeah, I'm sorry to be such a smartass guys - it's a big job moderating a totally dynamic site with thousands of users - however if the rules say something, then it should be adhered to at all times.

Anyway I'm sure I look like a bit of a d***head after making these whiney posts - but of course I do understand where all of the moderators and posters in this thread are coming from.

It's unfortunate IMO, that a valuable tool like Nissan FAST isn't legal for personal use, or use outside of Nissan :laugh:

I think funkymonkey's point/statement is entirely valid - so yeah, I'll stop being a wang now :laugh:

Shan, in those 45 pages there are about half a dozen links to Torrent Sites for FAST software.

Who's the mod for that area?

They should be keeping it clean of that sorta stuff

I just went through there and took out all the links

      I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.

      I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      By uchoa · Posted

      Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
