I love HKS products, who does not???? However I never could contact BD4, they never ever answered the phone whenever I rang. I can assure you guys was during business hours. So I bought my HKS products from QLD and got them shipped to Sydney...shame ehhhh????

So, I really do not miss them......

The workshop part is going to be sold from what Tom was planning, but Tom is keeping the Dyno room, office etc for selling parts and dyno tuning.

Paul and Tom went their own separate ways in the business (BD4's).

There is going to be a name change for the new business.

thanks for that info. yeah Tom's got one of the best dyno rooms in sydney. good to hear he's keeping it.

so who's taking over the hks side of business? who's Yoshi working with now? he is one of BD4s greatest assets (knows his cars and tunning)

I do respect your right to make this statement: being from America we have no limits to freedom of Speech.

If this is the case here in Australia I surprised. Now if you are talking about legal issues then that a how new ball game but that is not freedom of speeh. Their is no limits to freedom of speech!!

certainly. and BD4s are allowed to call it libellous and try punish us in a court of law. and then I'll remind you there is limits to freedom of speech,

just my personal observation... freedom of speech states im allowed to voice it :P

If we had freedom of speech, then yes we'd be allowed to voice it. But, Australia has not become the 51st state of the USA and so we don't.

In 1948 the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Article 19 affirms the right to free speech:

Article 19. Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.(1)

Members of the Commonwealth Parliament reaffirmed the principles of the Declaration during a sitting on 10 December 1998 to mark the 50th anniversary of the UDHR and pledged to give wholehearted support to the principles enshrined in the Declaration.(2)

Article 19 of the 1966 United Nations International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) states that:

Everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression ... (3)

Australia is a signatory to this treaty(4) and, in order to incorporate treaties and conventions into Australian law, governments must pass a specific Act of Parliament. Although some parts of the treaty have been implemented into law, such as the Human Rights Commission Act 1981,(5) no government has implemented the free speech provisions and therefore they are not enforceable by Australian courts.

I actually dropped this a while ago, but it seems quite a few people didn't...

unfortunately this is the interweb not Australia, there is nothing legislating that a web forum needs to provide a right of free speech. SAU is a private forum and we run to Christians rules

Feel free to stand on a box in the domain on thursdays instead.

(Emphasis added)

So, in other words, in Australia we don't actually have freedom of speech.

just wanting to ad my 2 cents, im glad to see bd4's close down.

i had never been treated so rudely till i went there enquiring about work to my car.

my car had a misfire problem, and i had $2000 ready to fix it but they werent interested. didnt even look at my car for more than 5 minutes before saying 'no we wont touch that'

the car had a custom turbo conversion..... $2000 should have been enough to rebuild the whole motor.

I'm not sure if you know but you wont get a rebuild done for $2000 especially from a shop.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
