That sounds tempting, but I reckon it's a bad move. It's the start of a slippery slop. It'll send mixed messages and we'll end up with people posting wrong shit everywhere. I reckon it'd also lower

Id prefer to pay a bit more membership each year, and a percentage goes towards up keep of the forum (thought that was actually already part of it!!)

On a side note, if you can get rid of all the spam posts, the forum will be better for it. Others forums dont seem to have as much spam as this one, is there a weak spot in forum registering?

Some other forums I've been on require you to have an email address linked to an account that requires proof of identity, so addresses through telstra, optus, etc. They don't allow hotmail, gmail, etc. This pretty much eliminates the spam, but also drastically cuts down member numbers and the amount of help you can get in the tech sections.

What about having fund raising cruises. Even if it's only once a year and people just chuck in $5.

Hi,

What about a very small % of sales, donations and say like a $15.00 membership fee for all. In the scheme of things its pretty cheap.

regards,

Todd :yes:

While a $15 fee might not seem like much, it may drastically reduce future growth of the site. For example, someone who purchased a skyline and then has questions can currently jump on here for free and ask questions. If they have to pay $15 upfront a large portion of them will just go to other forums where they don't have to pay. Sure, we all know that it's hard to find a better source of info than here, but someone just getting into skylines won't know that.

No can do. We need to be a registered not-for-profit, which we're not. So, ultimately as long as the 'buyer' is getting 'something' (even a tag under their name) and receive a tax invoice then they're not donations. :)

We pay two external spam services to check registrations. Check this link to get an indication of how much spam is kept out. This is def a priority though and we may need to bring on another service or have a one-week moderation period.

Yes.

Have donated (as my tag suggests).

Would do so again.

And everyone's jealous of my posting ability.

Even the auto systems kicked in when I was posting a fair bit to make sure I was "a human ".

Oh, maybe different tags for different amounts.

So everyone knows if you're a stingy bastard(like I was/am) or a high roller.

And possible benefits that go along with it.

Wasn't aware one will get no flood control from posts at the time I'd imagine after making contributions (I know I didn't).

Hence my suggestion earlier.

      That's it. Too rich for me. I'm out. If it does start to sell in pieces, I'll probably register an interest in the diff & axles, gearbox & tailshaft, and maybe the brakes.

      I tried my best, well I see how it is though... It's time to be ruthless! I'll up my bid with a JVC sub and an amp to run it, 8 stainless steel drink coasters with a rubber backing, and a photo of Tom Cruise. Oh, I can increase the cash portion by 20 cents if that helps.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Or if it's grey, is it watery? Does it do it after you've been for like an hour long drive it will still do it, or just near the start of the trip? As GTS said, does it seem like oil (blue), water (white/grey) or fuel (black)? Sometimes the colour can be hard to see clearly too for what it is, as GTS says, what's it smell like?

      ugently need expert / experienced opinion

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I wonder if part of it has to do with when you've each bought the kits. I honestly have the feeling that the silicon joiners in the 2000s were actually better quality than most of what you can find these days. Even in the same brands. Everyone racing to the cheapest price while still trying to make profit means lower quality parts. For coolant, I personally would be going with rubber, OR, converting the radiator and engine to use the huge AN fittings hose for radiators.

      Shifting questions

      By dbm7 · Posted

      If shift solenoid A is bad, that explains limp mode --- now you're in the same position as I mentioned previously, in that the next step is to confirm loom/wiring integrity from TCU to gearbox connector with a multimeter (the TCU cannot detect a broken wire, which can happen ..ie; rodent damage, loom rubbed through)...and then finally measure resistance (at the gearbox connector) for shift solenoid A ... ...once you confirm shift solenoid A is bad (open circuit, really low or greater than 40ohm resistance), then it's a job ; you have buy a complete solenoid set, get under the car and drop transmission oil pan, and remove valvebody assembly (the solenoids sit on top), replace solenoid set, and reassemble....it's not exactly a fun task, but readily doable.
