OK, just a heads-up, warning and request all in one.

Recently a few issues have come to light with the amount of nicknames a group of us (who know each other very well) call each other.

Now I have not had a problem with any of it until now, but from both a personal respect and website/SAU:SA club policy, I feel we need to set a firm policy on this.

So, as of NOW, I want everyone to completely stop any nickname which ANYONE could find offensive - whether it be regarding their skin colour, hair colour, previous behaviour or any other reason anyone might take offence. 1 warning will be given to offenders, then they get a ban from the forums. If someone PMs me and says they are offended by an individual, I will act on it.

I know in the past it has all been in good fun, but as of now it is no longer ok.

I get that this can be a serious issue, but come on guys, I havent heard someone have to give a talk like that since primary school. I believe a teaspoon of cement and grain of salt is in order.

I find it offensive and ignorance when people use the term "Jap". Many dont mean anything by it but it is rude and you wouldnt want to use the term when speaking to a Japanese. I know this is an abreviation but always found it rude. Instead use the full term or JP for short.

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
