It seems the more chat there is the more fighting there is.

I'm not sure if you all realise this or not but behind the scenes at SAU there are discussions about getting rid of every single whore thread. If the online social side of things is not pleasant then it may just disappear altogether.

Please think before you post.

I clearly warned all of those who frequent the whore threads that if there was any repeat of the bitching, that the whore threads would go, permanently.

I was not kidding, and it seems too many people simply don't listen.

Unfortunately, actions speak louder than words so the whore threads of NSW will now be closed indefinately.

Those of you whose actions have brought this on know who you are, so perhaps you can explain to the other more mature members why the chat threads are no longer.

Yeap thats true! I apologise for my childishness! Some things just bring out the worst and stupid in me!! I have already decided that my last comments will be just that.. the last! I am here to enjoy my car and meet new enthusiasts and to generally have a good time! I don't want all the crap going around to affect any of this.

that is all :rofl:

I think that the argument that came around thismorning was resolved by the people that started it and everyone shouldnt be punished for it. The fact that it was resolved shows alot more matturity than what has been around as of late.

just my 2 cents.

this all very well to close them down, but i know from experience its mainly happening in the whoretown thread not all the whore thread like central coast and such. but i think this will settle it down.

The bottom line is the whore threads have caused problems from the start, are a waste of space, and are nothing but pages of worthless crap.

I agree with Sam and others, it is unfair, especially on those who haven't acted like complete tools, but everyone was warned and those involved were told that if they didn't cut it out once and for all, the threads would go, thereby affecting many others.

Personally, I think that while its all good and well to want to talk to your friends all day, there are more appropriate chat mediums around to facilitate this, a forum isn't one of them.

Lifes not fair Tinks =(

Hopefully this will be a temporary thing and soon we can get our forums back, but if its permanent its kind of removing the reason I joined SAU, to chat with and organise meets with others from Newcastle (and the surrounding areas).

i to agree with this to, and i think that having this privilage removed will wake everybody up, and that those who have lead to this will now hopefully have more respect for the forum and its users

I agree, there are far more appropriate methods of talking to friends all day long, but in my experience (which is mainly the Newcastle thread) the members using it were more using it as a bulletin board rather than pages and pages of random chatter.

Will there be any system implemented to replace these threads? Perhaps a "one post per time limit" sort of deal (i know it would be a pain in the butt to implement, but it would be nice to get the community feel back).

And I do understand why they were banned and can accept and support the decision to stop them for the reasons the admins have mentioned above, but as Tinks said...what about the rest of us who werent abusing the service or others?

i go out to get a haircut and all shit breaks loose?

come on guys... i wasn't even gone that long >_<

on a more mature note: im not so sure losing the area threads is a great idea... i met pretty much everyone through those threads, heard about pretty much every event i went to, and was almost literally my doorway to SAU...

i introduced myself and was welcome with open arms... it made me stay, and now i am a paying member, have helped at several events and am always putting my name down to help on more events...

what about other new people? where do they go? do we have a new member make a thread about themselves every time?

anyway, moderating a forum is hard enough (I should know)... moderating this one would be impossible... doing a great job guys, making the tough calls :)

I second that.. Being on the SAU forums as a big time reader, not much of a poster, starting hanging around the central cost thread and got welcomed by some really friendly people and also starting chatting with members :)

Maybe I didnt communicate what I meant very well, but the above two posters have done so.

Removing the local threads removes the "community" feel of the boards.

Will there be any thought into providing a similar feature on SAU itself, or should we just kiss it goodbye?

As a side note: If you're from Newcastle - hit me with a PM so i can add you to friends

That is true, and I don't disagree. I just wanted to add though that most chat/IM programs are blocked at workplaces - even SAU is blocked at my school (along with most URLs with the word /forum/ in it). Therefore hence the ease of accessing a webpage (forum) and communicating on all that.

Im just gonna leave it at that. Just wanted to add my 2c

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
