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.

      Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Duncan · Posted

      I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
