We are out of space - or very near to it.

SAU doesnt run on air - we need cash to keep it going... simply put we cannot afford anymore space.

So either donate and help (thanks J'z-R33), or host them with a 3rd party site and link them in your post.

Sorry its not a better answer, but this site has grown from 35k users to over 50k in roughly 18months... so its VERY fast.

Just to let you guys know, it costs 4 figures a month to run this site, not cheap at all :banana:

Fire cleanses all :banana:

OR you could maybe just ask people to clean out their PM inboxes or something? I think I have like 70 odd pages of crap I'll probably never read again...

Unless there is a seperate image server or something...

There isn't, but I can tell you that only the execs have a lot of PM space and that doesn't account for much on the server.

Have almost sorted new Australian hosting though with images served from Amazon.

Yeah I know, before I was officially an Exec I was cleaning out my PM inbox every fortnight... I haven't done it since :banana:

I wish I could help you, I actually work at an internet provider, but our prices aren't very friendly unless you're a rather large corporation :bunny:

PM's dont take up much unfortunately.

One picture in reasonable res would take up more than 1/2 my inbox of many 1,000's of messages.

Top work on some AUS hosting if we can bring it back here, that is excellent news.

I might draw up an announcement about donations, never hurts to get some extra cash to let us give the best :banana:

I'd be happy to delete old images if it helped, but I suppose alot of people would need to do it as well.

Problem is though getting people to do so, virtually impossible.

Add to that people who no longer use the forum, dead accounts, we cant just purge them incase they come back - and purging would be not so nice as im sure we have plenty of accounts taking space for nothing.

But like i said, if even HALF the users donated just $5 to SAU - we'd never have a problem with hosting/space/downtime for a very long time :banana:

There is no need for donations. In fact I plan to remove the option soon as we are being covered by the banners and I'd hate for people to think we have limitations due to the cost. The problem is that when I got this server, our image store was ~50gb and it has grown so quickly over the past 8 months that we have just outgrown the drives. I could just have the drives upgraded but with the current exchange rate, its not as cost effective to leave it in the states any more.

      RB25 S2 Idles but doesn't want to rev

      By Trilbyte · Posted

      No intention of driving the car the way it's set up now, just wanting to make sure I haven't made any mistakes along the way so that the tune can go smoothly, I don't want to waste anyone's time with stupid issues. And of course I intend to get it towed to the dyno in a completed state 😅 I have the base fuel pressure with the vacuum disconnected set at about 40psi, which I believe is at least relatively close to stock fuel pressure, maybe I'll have a fiddle with the reg and see what happens. For all I know I could be wasting my time with this and I should just plumb it in and see what the tuner reckons. I just find it a bit strange that it seems to be under so much load just free revving, but maybe that's just a result of the turbo slowing down the exhaust gasses and making a restriction in the flow, with no boost to compensate.

      The boy just hit up google translate and it worked a treat, he said step one was "please urinate with precision and elegance", he then sent me the correct translation  I get some new loctite for the small fixtures tomorrow and get some "dort" going after that 🤣

      Right, so is the fuel pressure the same as it was previously? If not, well, it's not going to work well. I can understand the theory I assume you are going for, which is: "Run it N/A, and if I have the original AFM, and same amount of fuel and intake air as previously, the fact there's a turbo in my exhaust should still make it run" Which it... might? Provided you don't actually change how much air or fuel is going into the car.. or getting out. But if you have changed that, all bets are off. What is the purpose to even have the car run this way? To get it to a tuner? And if the goal is to limp it to a tuner, you're still going to what - plumb up a whole intercooler system and new intake in the parking lot out front before your tune......?

      Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.

      Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
