as in paid members?

you cant have it only for "club" members as not every state has a club, and then there is all the international people blah blah.

Also to note... what would traders be advertising too, they pay good money for the volumes of people.

Cutting to paid members in total (maybe) about 400 people?

not good from 20+ tho

it's not a bad idea....quite a few forums have it so guests can't read them.

stops people being able to read about cruises, or other things without being logged in..

the trouble is you get a lot of people who browse first, and then sign up, and if you take that away you'd probably get less members joining.

but if u really wanted to read the info you would join?

meh.. just an idea :)

and maybe to stop scammers make it so that you need to be a member for 3months or certain number of posts in order to view the For Sale threads?

A few forums have this too such as OCAU :P

I agree, i have only been a member for a handful of months with very minimal posts. I would still want to have the privilege of being able to buy and sell an item when i want/need too, hence putting the 3months/number of posts out the window effectively.

And if people don't want others knowing about a cruise "Police" then why post in a public forum? Call a few of your mates that you have met on one of the public cruises and i'm sure they will be more than willing to go for a nice drive with you.

Alternatively there could be a section for paying members which is exclusive and can't be seen by any other pubilc or non paying members. Who knows this could already be in place as i have not got a paid membership yet (still waiting for my car)

my 2c :D

Yup each state that has an official chapter (NSW, VIC, QLD, WA) has a members only section for their paid members. I think the NSW and VIC ones have been around for a couple of years now.

SAU dosen't condone illegal activities (too-gay runs in the hills, street drags, stealing etc) so there's nothing to hide from authorities either. If it can't be discussed in public, then it shouldn't be discussed on SAU.

If you forced people to sign up all it would result in is less people using the forum as a resource, and more idle users who don't actually post, all they do is sign up and lurk.

      Fuel Flow Regulator Hose Restrictors

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      As a general rule removing rubber fuel hose is so difficult I would replace it if it hasn't been done in the last 5 years. The risk you damage the liner or one of the inner layers is pretty high if it's not almost brand new. BMW's recommendations around coolant hoses is similar. My R33's fuel hoses at the fuel tank were so perished that they were ready to burst FYI.

      Yes. It's either "2 wires", or 1 wire, depending on how you look at it. It is the connection that ties the battery -ve to both the chassis and the engine. Every electron that goes in or out of the battery goes through those 2 small spots (on the inner guard and on the engine block). If those are not clean and tight, then shit starts to suffer. Yeah, but measure it again cold in the morning, after it has had hours to rest. You can't usefully test the charge state of a battery immediately after it has been running because the alternator puts a surface charge onto the plates that takes a while to soak in and balance out. It will always read higher, and potentially look properly healthy, when fresh off of charge. But hours later it can look a lot less healthy. It's also worth measuring the battery voltage while cranking, although this can be difficult with a typical DMM because the screem update rate is so slow on most of them. An analogue voltmeter is actually a better tool for that. If the voltage drops too far while cranking, it is a sign of a poor battery. Although I don't think we're necessarily looking for a weak battery here - just wanting to exclude it.

      GTR Festival (Aus) - 2025 - Stagea Alley

      By alexburns · Posted

      https://www.facebook.com/share/15ZMn5oXtc/ Updated Event (so its not private and can be shared easier)  Attempting to coordinate a big push of Stagea's to this years GTR Festival. Great event last year and hoping for the same this year.  Discounted tickets 20% off for their various tickets until the 3rd of Feb Monday. Drags, show and shine etc.  I've emailed them to ask to set a location aside for the Stageas for the show and shine - they are happy to do so if we can get them numbers, I'm happy to keep track of that. Entering as Nismo category.  I'll be road tripping up from Melbourne, would be cool to convey if people are interested, maybe there is SAU convoys from each capital? If you have ideas about that let me know.  https://gtrfestival.com.au
