link in your sig is fine. posts soliciting feedback I need to think about. not sure what kind of forum that would be suitable in. we generally don't allow people making posts to solicit participation in other forums/websites etc.

I understand that. particularly a site that is out to make a profit..

but it seems for legal reasons SAU is definitely not willing to host any tuner/workshop feedback that is negative

so this is why I'd be interested in providing this service, and hopefully members would use it and find it useful.

I wonder if SAU would accept paid advertising for it, as a worst case scenario (for me).

this is what enthusiasts need

but needs a very well set out fill in the box style like a survey and a box with a 5000 word limit so you can put it into words

absolutely. Like gumtree: no need to take membership to add a review, but verify by email before

publishing. A way to upload supporting evidence (pictures, dyno charts, whatever). A way to contact

the reviewer privately without giving away email addresses. A way to challenge or comment on a

review, promote well written ones and suppress doubtful or obvious hit jobs.

and, apparently, offshore hosting and ownership so that the allegedly terrifying libel laws here are

less of a liability (although I don't really believe tuners and workshops would be systematically out

to abuse the law in order to protect bad business practices).

honestly it is overdue that the better tuners/shops/dealers are easier to find than word of mouth

and the bad ones can only be whispered about in hushed tones.

SAU's stance is clear.

In my view - if you even go as far as to link it in your sig - it'll be removed.

Least of all starting a thread about feedback - absolutely not going to happen.

Ye it sounds like im being a prick, ye i am & furthermore i do not care.

The rules here are clear, and simple. You agree to them when you sign up.

SAU will be in NO WAY responsible or seen to be associated with a website of the nature that allows people to make false and misleading claims about a workshops work.

Just because you dont agree with the rules, you think we are going to allow it to go on in a 'round-a-bout' way? Oh please.

End of story as far as i see it.

Sounds like an aggressive stand, yes. And to be honest, the stance of SAU is clear,

they won't host this content. Beyond that, though, the stance isn't clear which is why I asked.

It is a bit of a stretch to assume, before such a site exists, that such a place

"would allow people to make false and misleading claims". Unless your interpretation

is that any end-user written report is by definition false and misleading?

In that case, then SAU is guilty of allowing people to make false and misleading claims

about nismo, OS Giken, Garrett, HKS and a host of other companies, every single day.

Because we frequently post that such and such a product or company is or is not good, and

nobody from SAU investigates to make sure the claim isn't false or misleading, or made

by a bozo.

My reasoning for suggesting the service goes like this: 1. the expressed (by the site owner)

reason for this rule is simply legal liability.

2. I think many people would find such a place EXCEEDINGLY useful. They aren't children,

just because someone posted, say, Croydon sucks, that doesn't mean that viewers would

destroy their business.

If there was a site that offered a place to index experiences with

workshops the same way we exhaustively compare turbos or brake companies, then

the legal liability risk is removed, and everyone would be happy (except the worst

workshop). And if this was my project, I'm not sure why it would be ban worthy for me to

have it included in my .sig.

I didnt say ban worthy - i said it would not be removed. Please ensure you are clear about what i said, as its as clear as it can be.

There are two sides to every story, and having been around for many years, often the two sides are vastly different.

If you are going to allow people to 'review' a workshop and bag them out, how do you even know thats the truth? You dont.

Ive made the point clear, do not attempt to promote it here. Thats twice ive said it now, i wont be informing you a 3rd time.

    • 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.
