I would presume that 'a new server' means a dedicated, real , live phyical server !

I dunno what SCA drives are - is that the same as Serial ATA ?

But Web Server drives should be SCSI - ATA drives are no good for multi user environments

Server NICs should be multi-homed / teamed.

ISP Service provider should provide load balancing at layer 2 & 3.

Web server should be backed up daily to local tape drive

MySQL database should be shut down (Sau unavailable) during backup windows. ( or hot backup enabled)

Full change control should be implemented.

etc, etc.

Woa, did you just quote me this out of a textbook? :D That's Project Management material sir!

SCA are the 80 pin honda hotswap connectors used on SCSI drives.

There have been a few writeups on ATA/SATA raid configs used in large live environments, given the cost I don't really see the need for SCSI drives anymore... unless you get them at an _extremely_ good price (like free ;)).

Just as a side note, I think that list might be a little old. I know I've sent about 150-200 all up now...

But your right.. More people should donate instead of taking this site for granted.

Prank does a great job, spends a fair wack of time doing it, and get's paid nothing !!

wow - thanks guys!! I really appreciate it!!

Regarding the server, as donations come in quite sporadically, I have opted for a HP P4 2.0Ghz (IDE) 80GB drive and have just upgraded to 1 gig of RAM.. If I get enough donations and more, I will put it on a Dual Xeon server next year with SCSI drives. It is entirely SAU's server with nothing else going on it (apart from 5mb blocks of webspace for donaters) and the physical server is in the US. It should make everything much better and we can upgrade again later if we need to.

Thanks again guys.

Christian

Don't wish to sound rude, though u sure the box has been configured properly? With hardware like that (bar the ide drive), it should absolutely scream for just this website.

Im happy to offer any help to get things running better, got a fair bit of experience with it all, though im sure many others are in IT here as well.

On a side note Ill donate in a month or 2 when I have abit more cash :) These forums have provided an endles amount of very handy knowledge.

Hey Brody - the sites not on there yet. It will be transfered over the weekend (hopefully, i have just order more ram and am waiting for them to get back to me).

If I have any probs, i'll let you know. Cheers.

Hey Christian, would we notice if there was any problem with the forums? Coz I've had some problems in the last few days :confused:

    • Strange your posting about this being an issue. Move the harness or change your wheels or run more camber etc. Have the thing not touch the thing so it doesn't destroy the thing.  Short answer, no. Slightly longer answer, the factory fuel gauge is measuring resistance. You need to wire in the FPG fuel level sender into the original factory fuel level sender wiring.  I drew you a picture to explain this one The factory strainer is quite long, reaching down into the bottom of the tank. Safe bet your aftermarket fuel pump has a little baby sized strainer that probably doesn't even point down towards the bottom of the thank.  Solution, move the pump lower down in the tank, or fit a longer strainer, or do both. I did both, I've run my tank down to 5L remaining and the car still drove fine.   
    • S2/3 GT-R is the same as S2 GTS-t The SRS airbags module in under the centre console. The S1/S1.5 GTS-t and S1 GT-R had the module built into the steering wheel. FWIW, I have a S3 GT-R wheel in my S2 GTS-t shit box. Same airbag plug, airbag light goes on then off, meaning all systems are go. S3 GT-R has red stitching, that's about it.
    • Dumb question, but why would it matter if the wheel came off a car with hicas or not?
    • Hey to anyone that reads this, long time lurker first time posting, sorry if it’s been answered before but I’ve been looking for nearly a year now for answers. ive got a 25det neo in an r32 that works awesome when it works (made 500whp on 21psi) but works 45% of the time, 1st issue there’s a harness that runs under the passengers side front fender that my tire keeps rubbing through and one wire seems to power the fuel pump even though I’ve done the relay “mod” some people like to call it, and when it does rub through it kills the car, yes next time I’m with the car I want to take the fender off and try tuck the harness well out of the way but I’d also like to try and by pass this mysterious wire as well lol, also wouldn’t mind getting power from the alternator as I’ve read it supplies the pump with 13v ? But no idea where to run the power wire too. 2nd issue, when replacing my fuel pump and fuel hanger I managed to break the factory fuel level sender leaving me with no fuel gauge, I’d like to buy the fpg fuel level sender for r32/s13 but the plug it comes with confuses me, I’ve got a detschwerks x1 fuel hanger which has light + pump - level + pump + and a ground, I’m no auto sparky but I’m wondering if I can cut the plug off the fuel level sender and wire the negative to the pump negative and wire the positive to the level positive to get a fuel gauge back ?🥴 3rd and final issue, the reason I want a fuel gauge is because whenever it’s below half a tank, it fuel starves like crazy and runs like a bag of shit even without doing a pull or sloshing the fuel round in the tank, I’d also like to fix this but have no idea what’s causing it, I’ve got a dw420 and a dead head fuel setup meaning the fuel is regulated before it gets to the engine, my only theory is that the return line is to close to the pickup on the pump and when it’s at half a tank the return line is causing the pump to cavitate enough to cause fuel pressure issues, that or the pump isn’t low enough in the tank which I would find strange considering I can’t find a single thing online about it, also if ya wondering how I figured out it happens at half a tank without a fuel gauge, I waited until it started happening and went and filled up and the car took exactly 30 litres every time I tested it, if ya managed to read through this mess I appreciate that and any recommendations , cheers
    • ChatGPT is trash and lies about things I would not expect it to lie about considering many things it's wrong about are very easily verified with google. The S3 R33 GTR shares its steering wheel with R33 GTSTs of the same production year. Part number is 48430-26U17. I'm guessing you have to get it from a car that came with HICAS though, the ER33 is 48430-26U18, but the HR33 diagrams note that part number is still leather vs 48430-26U13 which is not leather-wrapped. They all use the same airbags, so if you need another one you can get it off basically any same year R33 or Stagea.
