Without rules the forum wouldn't work or even be here to help us ... I am a nice guy thats why I hand the warnings out its for everyones benefit

The forum has helped me meet great people, trade parts and build a car that I could of never done without it ... I know its hard to understand but the rules have to be there

Hey anthony, I remember when your banning took place, and it was before the warning system.

We put that in place so that people would have a fair go.

As for racial bias, AFAIK no-one selcts race as a field when they register....so I can't see where bias would come into it.

Re people signing up again, I'm not aware of any way to ban an IP, and even if we could it could cause trouble with other people from the same ISP. We can and do ban again as soon as we are sure its the same person but that can be difficult.

And finally for my rant, IT IS NOT A FARKING DEMOCRACY HERE. PranK makes up the rules, the moderators enforce them. If you don't like them feel free to go elsewhere.

but seriously you guys take this forum to seriously, whats the big deal. i get banned for stupid things like making comments to stupid people who have no idea about cars, merli and blitz seriously you guys need to get out more the world doessnt revolve around this forum and your skyline pushing 200kw@flywheel. ive sold and vought stuff from people on the forums and have actually met a few good blokes, and for merli you must take a fancy to me if i came up in a conversation you were having last night. but sorry i dont go that way.

You came up in conversation at an SAU Monthly dinner, where we sometimes talk about.................... SAU :D (and it's IQ-challenged members :()

But yeah, you're right... My skyline only puts out about 200kw@flywheel, but I bought it stock and modified it myself. I guess I could always go and find someone else's car and buy that. That way I could buy my way into power without actually knowing anything about cars, or being able to drive them down the 1/4 mile myself hsugh.gif

But I'm not sure what the power of my skyline has to do with anything? Is that the only thing you have over us? I guess it is, because intelligence definitely isn't on that list, otherwise you'd have quickly figured out why you were getting banned from repeated warnings and stop it.

In any case, as I said, you're just annoying. It's more about the scammers and people who blatantly rip others off like doridori/mines_datsun that just prance around bans that worry me. Their actions don't just annoy people, they actually put people out of pocket of their hard-earned money.

AFAIK, there's an option in the Admin CP that allows you to set IP bans. I have also heard that it is quite buggy and doesn't always translate correct subnetting and can ban entire classes instead :Oops:

The best way to ban people is through a simple .htaccess file put into the root directory that contains:

Deny from 128.1.1.1 (for the host 128.1.1.1)

Deny from 214.12.34 (for the subnet 214.12.34.0/24)

Deny from 10 (for the whole 10.0.0.0/8 subnet)

chatting to people about ttheir cars,  thats why i come back, i might have a very bad  temper but as  some people know im calm most of the time.

you dont chat at times. You more so abuse.

And your temper is your own problem to sort out, its not an excuse or a scapegoat as to your behaviour

im over it anyways you wanna ban me again, fine ban me, makes no differnce to me, im here to chat and be civilized like the rest of the people here

Just because you Ban there IP doesnt mean they cant post on someone else's computer or create an account on some public computer or whatever. :werd: to the people who said you cant just ban straight away ect. But in someone like Wreckedhead's case thats should be an I.P ban because its getting out of hand, and by the sounds of it Merli and Blitz are thinking that to. But like I said banning Wreckedhead's I.P wont stop him 100% from posting on SAU.

P.S 'Wreckedhead' I wasnt aiming at you on purpose, just for example.

you guys are just complete nerds, and SAU is your life.. we dont rip off people.. you rip off people by taking there money.

thats a low blow mate

it costs money to run a forum you know and one this size would cost a shit load

there is nothing wrong with people paying for membership the the club

and donating money to keep the forums up and running

at least the guys on here make it clear that its to keep the joint up and running

    • Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
    • So my car is finally back from paint! This took an absolutely insane amount of work and should get it's own build thread - but I didn't build it. It was completed by Troy @ https://scalekustoms.com.au/ I originally bought the AOSHIMA URAS Type R kit while I was in Japan, it's supposed to look like this when assembled: Now, I thought that was cool enough until I opened the box with Dismay, as there's no way I could possibly have completed it. The thing is 1/24 and has details down to the steering wheel horn button, which is a 2mm diameter sticker. I originally wondered if someone could make it at all, as is - But then things got a little carried away. It's worth noting that the model does not have an openable bonne, let alone engine bay, OR an openable boot. - Troy has worked wonders with 3D printer and presumably better eyes than I will ever have. My photos suck, so I will post up some of his in-progress ones he sent to me during the way. Unsuprisingly, he is very detailed. A lot of these are out of order. But he: 1) Made a LS engine and an engine bay appear out of thin air 2) Made the bonnet removable 3) Printed the rims I will buy in the future (or any rim you want) 4) Printed and added the wing that is going on 5) Tinted my back windows as this is what my car has IRL (privacy glass) 6) Added a licence plate. 7) Somehow did the interior 8) 3D Printed my actual seats 9) Made the exhaust under the car connect even though this is likely invisible. 10) Created a boot with my fking battery box, power steering reservoir, subwoofer and toolboxes back there. To say it's insane is an understatement. And I f**ked it all up because when I was re-mounting the wing (it broke in transit) I spilled glue everywhere and ripped paint up and Gregged the rear half of the car. Which about makes sense. Also, this arrived on the same day. Quite the change from: I spent 16 hours per day over the next 3 days pre-christmas putting the interior back together, mounting lip, fixing various bodykit problems with window mouldings, etc. and servicing, rebuilding my 370z brakes to go on the car 'soon', messing with heights to check clearances for new wheels, etc. I also had a foray into mounting wiper-mounted washer jets which was an absolute disaster. The bodyshop has welded (and painted) over the stock jet locations for reasons unknown to everybody (i.e they forgot) I also wanted to wire in the oil pressure sensor on Christmas Eve which was a BAD IDEA. You do not know terror like pulling your ECU apart, pinning in half-fitting pins that aren't the right ones, but trying anyway because it's Christmas eve, putting your ECU back together and having a no-start condition with a fuel pump not priming. Then you undo all your work and the fuel pump still doesn't prime. So after all that terror and horror and pain and tedious disassembly, the issue was the relay in the boot which seems to have died/stuck when I was turning the car off and on about 700 times testing shitty washer jets. I also re-wired the fuel pump power plug which fell apart in my hands. I am very happy I had 3 extra pre-made ones from a few posts/last Christmas's breakdown. https://bluewireautomotive.com/products/10-x-pcm-ecm-ecu-terminals I have put an order for these in, so I can actually add the pins to the ECU properly. The commodore ECU does not have the pins for Oil Pressure via ODB2. However the ECU can support it if you create the pins and wire them in. So for round two, and somehow attempting to route that into the engine bay through my impossible engine bay grommet is a fight for another day. It's 40C in Melbourne tomorrow, I am half tempted to drive the car with the aircon on to deliver presents to my partner's family and see if it helps with the overheating-on-40C-days-in-traffic-with-aircon-on-only issue that the vents were intended to solve. Do I feel lucky?
    • Yes, while being... strictly unnecessary. Tuning is a bit like quantum physics. You don't need to understand what Schroedinger's equation actually means. You just need to run the computation and accept the answers. With tuning, you just push page up/down until the exhaust tells you that you've got the fuel right. The VE can stay hidden behind the curtain like the Wizard of Oz and you'll never need to know what he looked like.
    • The second part yes, the first part about easy VE calculation is something I've seen a few people talk about online.
    • You 100% could do that, would save money on a gym membership lol. But yeah, getting a cordless orbital sander will feel priceless coming from doing it manually.  Good luck with it mate
