Hey guys I've been toying with the idea for quite some time but have never really done any research on it. Basically it’s MIRC and i know most of you have used it with the exception that you don’t have to load anything into your computer. I’ve found a free online java client so all you will have to do is go to the webpage put in your username and type in your server and channel. And it will connect and you can all talk in the main channel called #SAU or you can private chat 1 on 1 so that no one else can see what you are saying. The only advantage on this is that ever one who is logged in will receive your message as it is sent so organizing meets or selling parts can be done quite simply.

to do this you need to go to this webpage (anybody that has firefox loaded in thier PC will have to use FireFox not internet explorer):

http://irc.netsplit.de/webchat/?net=AustNet

and in the section where it asks for "chat room" type in #SAU, make sure you type in the #

next line is "Nickname" anything you wish to call yourself.

and then click "start web applet"

it will take a few minutes for JAVA to load up and might even give you a warning about something or other just click yes.

and then should give you the client screen with the word "connecting"

now if it doesn't connect and you receive "Unable to connect : java.net.ConnectException : Connection timed out: connect "

just below that is where you type all your text type this "/server ezehost.il.us.austnet.org" hit enter and it should connect to Austnet and then #SAU and you will be

able to say anything you want in the main channel. or if you double click the names on the left you can private chat to any one else you choose.

This is a great way to chat in real time to other SAU members

Send me a Message if you are having any trouble connecting to the Server and ill do my best to help out. Some of you maynot be able to connectas your firewalls at work may not allow you to view the page but this can be fixed using a Proxy like www.blastproxy.com

Well I'm connected to Austnet but can't figure out how to then head into the SAU channel? None of the buttons are working either.

NVM, went back to the tab after writing that and it worked. *shrug*

this is really good considering there can be upto 300+ people online and get them in a room especially good for a quick meet say on a friday nigght maybe there is nothing planned but a few people in the chat wouldnt mind a cruise so they organise it there and off they go, no need to waste a forum post on a small cruise

    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
    • The only high-power RB I've personally seen go pop after running for all of an hour on a dyno was built by B2R, while being remotely tuned by B2R. The only wastegates I've ever had leak like a sieve, return, still leak, return and get shipped back the wrong ones were from Turbosmart. The only final drive that I've ever purchased that were unusable, twice... were from Speedtek. The only seat mounts that I've ever purchased that placed the seats in the door frame were from Crank Motorsport. The only poorly designed parts that I had the manufacturer confirm should have been designed as per what I mentioned were from GKTech. The only ECU I've had firmware updates consistently break things are Haltech. The only catch can I've purchased that didn't fit in its advertised spot was from ATP. So forth and so on... Moral of the story, doesn't matter where it's from. Do your research beforehand and stick with products and companies you've trusted in the past.    @joshuaho96 If you want it done right, do it yourself.
    • Something coarse-ish. 180 is good.
    • I was surprised to see all the quick Jack models at the same prices on there. But yeah, grabbing one at 20% off would be great.
