Noooooo dont PM me... :( I get too many a day as it is!

Just post in the other thread about it next time (2-3 down from this one)

I'll ban each account as it comes through etc etc

Although - i think another Admin beat me to it this time, i cant see the account

Cheers!

yeah it's a bummer. but to give users some privacy even admins cannot access other users pm box or read or delete pms in there. so it's not easy to combat. common sense is the only weapon you have. so let's use that! if you get a pm from an 'administrator' that signed up 2 days ago, has no admin tag and sends you to a site that ends in .ru then I say think carefully before clicking. for those that don't know if you mouse over a link your browser will display the URL that you're going to in the bottom left corner of your browser window. so you can check without clicking it. :banana:

.ru link in pm titled Weekend

x2. I got that one too.

I was smart enough to notice the '0' post count, so just deleted it.

Its wierd, this is the only forum i have ever been on that suffers from this amount of spam!

Got a PM from Brickerza last night that was titled "Weekend".

Inside it suggests that I should click on a link with the words "Do it now!" which was underlined.

Of course I didn't do this...

This would have taken me to "http://iefa.ru/"

Do we need to ban this User?

Surely there should be a way to implement a general limit on the number of PMs forum users can send per day, especially those with 0 or very few posts.

I think 20 PMs/day would be more than enough for everyone but mods/admins.

I just got one too with the same link.  It's undoubtedly a malware site that will install some horrible rubbish on your computer by merely visiting it.  I didn't click it either.

      RB20DET lean on cold start

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?

      Rb20e and RB20DET parts

      By A31Skyline · Posted

      yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.

      Unless my sensor just died, was only a couple months old, I strongly believe it didn't. How can I test it? I never mentioned it being 20:1+?

      Well, you wouldn't use 2nd hand bearings out of another engine anyway....so just buying the proper bearings is obviously what you're going to do. The crankshaft would be common. The conrods might be common. There is essentially nothing else you would be able to use.
