Hello all....

was wondering if having a "for sale" section only for wheels and tyres would be a good idea....

Only asking cause i'm looking for a new set and it takes aaaaaages going through heaps of unrelated posts, also, i know that lots of people like to collect wheels :) and having such a section would benefit a few.

good idea???

or

We are redesigning the whole For Sale section shortly and also merging all the separate state sections all into one area.

It will be filtered to a degree to make it easier for people to find things.

So to the separate section just for wheels - that will just go backwards from what we are intending.

An idea on this as well.

Make it mandatory that you have to put your state in. Like a drop down box.

Then when searching in the classified area, you have next to the thread title in small red text the state, or State - Town.

Also the ability to EDIT your posts at any time is so handy. Being able to update for sale threads makes it easier for people to understand what you have sold and what you still have.

Yep - 2 hours is the limit.

Any edits due to inaccuracy/spelling we found generally occurs inside that time. Outside that time dodgy traders were using it as a method of ripping people off. Soon as we made the change, literally overnight, the level of bad trader complaints dropped by 80% and now it's @ the point where I get 1-2 a month rather than 1-2 a week which for the community, is a good thing even if it's a bit painful.

So what do we do? Put up with it?

Its annoying as seller having an out-dated cluttered thread.

As a buyer its annoying going through 10+ pages of posts to find out if that one small item on Post 1 is still available or not.

95% of threads are not longer than a single page (so less than 20 posts, infact most are less than 10).

So the 5% that do extend beyond that on the odd occurrence, well simply, there is not much we can do about it. We aim to protect users as best we can and ensure selling/buying on SAU is one of the better experiences across the internet forum(free) landscape.

We might allow editing for Contributors (if Christian brings it back)... Otherwise it's been that way for 3/4 years now and not going to be changed.

Unfortunately SAU isn't like Australian politics, so the very small minority isn't going to get their way on this one as the pros far outweigh the cons :)

as ash said, there are very few for sale threads that go past 1 page.

and the whole point of not allowing editing of for sale threads was to stop dodgy traders advertising something and then selling something different and then changing the post afterwards to what he actually sold to make it look like it is the buyers fault for reading their post wrong. or simply deleting their post all together

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
