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

    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
