So, as long as your point of view was recorded, the thread had to shut just after that??? Removal of aforementioned posts that were potentially libelous and a PM to the post author may have had a better result.

The absolute power corrupts absolutely...

Everyone gave their point of view but when the libelous statements were questioned both in the thread and via pm, there was no response. Personal insults were made and as the thread had degenerated beyond salvation it was closed.

If you see a problem with that then I suggest you report whichever actions/posts you have a problem with to a moderator.

Timberlake: Cry me a riverrrrrrrrrrr

If noel says the clutch was underspecced, im going to belive him.

Forget me crying you a river. What happens when the owners of the forum are issued with legal documents from the business owner? Will you be so smug then?

From a spectator's point, it appears to me, the user in question purchased an appropriately specified clutch that re-used a standard pressure plate that is not anti-burst...

It exploded while being used within the constraints of normal use for such clutch.

Nothing wrong with him reporting on the internet what happened in his specific case, and his opinion of the product through his specific dealings. I don't see how this is a problem for SAU... :)

tbh, I'm more suprised someone of the manufacture's stature in the industry would stick his head in the sand over ths issue...

:)

I appreciate the support guys but let it be. Those of you that know me also know i dont deal in bullshit.

The broken parts are now on my shed wall as a reminder to do more research in future.

Given the amount of liners that grace my shed for various reasons enough will get to see it and draw their own conclusions.

On a positive note the Chair is back together and going to scotts on tuesday for the new dump then fire up and away we go again.

Huge thanks To Dan from Elite Racing developments for his support and talent in screwing the new engine back together and to Shanef, Terry, Wazza, and others for their assistance in reassembling it all.

Stellar work blokes and you have my gratitude.

If you are refering soley to me then yeah i can afford to be smug, ive said nothing to damage a business. I have met noel a few times and know him to be a very decent person within the car community, stating if i belive somone or not on a forum is not a crime.

It's really easy to understand if you try. The job of Moderators/Admins isn't just to move threads into their right sub-forum and dish out warnings when juveniles get personal and abuse other users during school holidays. We have a real role in protecting the owner of this forum from flippant, throw-away comments that could personally impact them financially and legally.

I didn't say you'd said anything libelous about a business but you seem pretty happy for others to do so, even though this practice could put the entire operation of the forum in jeopardy.

If you don't like how the forum is run then I suggest you click the "Report Post" button and have someone else deal with it. I have a feeling you'll get the same answer though.

The point wasn't for everyone to think that it was about them but to simply think about the repercussions if a business owner should choose to take things further. SAU isn't owned by some random faceless blob. There are real people with real assets that can get sued...for real. Basically, this website and forum aren't your private playground.

Just think, guys and girls. That's all I'm saying.

The point that interested me was the contention that an anti burst cover should have been used, no mention of a pressure plate. So I was wondering what an anti burst cover was, a quick google did not turn up anything.

By the pics it looked like the pressure plate had exploded which is a scarey thing, my car has a single plate JB 'full monty' clutch so I'm wondering what sort of pressure plate was used in it. Not a cast one I hope.

Then again what clutch manufacturers give details of the materials used in there pressure plates? Nodular iron is the only one I've heard of.

I'm not going to get involved nor say anythin further then this, but just to remind you that the forum can only be sued if the comments are found to be of defamation character towards the business (in other words, the statements are incorrect/false/lies). If such statements are posted on the users behalf that are correct, then the forum stands the grounds of being allowed to have such comments posted legally as it concludes that the comment posted is in fact correct. If a business cant handle the truth being told to other fellow friends/members/enthusiasts, then they shouldn't be in business at all if they cant handle the bad criticism given.

Also, i didnt see the thread being deleted/hidden so if your worried about the forum being sued, maybe you should delete/hide it as well so you stop ALL posibilties from being sued if your that worried and contact such involved parties within the thread to inform them why it was deleted/hidden.

That's my 2c's.

Enjoy the advise ;)

    • 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
    • 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
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
