Option Audio is very well marketed. Their screens and headrests are great value and very popular.

I'm not so keen on some of their other gear, for example off their website:

"OAX3200 the ultimate – need more be said 3000WRMS Class D amplifier. Producing some award winning DB records"

Having tested this amp, and knowing that we currently hold all (yes every class) Australian Records, I disagree with this statement.

Also, take a look at the "Option Audio" splits vs Focal splits.

If you want a cheap screen that lasts for about a week, Option Audio are great.

If you want cheap, rip off copies of speakers , Option Audio are great.

If you want a cheap amp that makes half it's rated power, Option Audio are great.

I have been using the products for well over a year. Although havent had any major failures, i didnt appreciate the weekly phone calls telling me that i have to be selling as much as JB HIFI.

At the end of the day a high end specialist car audio store sells quality equipment and i find my customers prefer handmade and proven products and are willing to spend the money on a well researched and built item. The Option Audio or SOUND MAGUS as they come badged were not a good seller, and i was quite happy to tell the distributor to stop telling me what to do with my business.

You only make yourself look stupid spouting BS like that. :banana:

Perhaps you should read this thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Fu...em-t202203.html

First of all how the hell do you know what my mates have done with their systems and that they haven't tried dd and removed them... so don't call me a liar when you have no grounds to do so....

second of all that thread all i see is you talking about your product and no one else talking about it and several other people stating facts about your product and others...

At the end of the day dd isn't a horrible product and is a reasonable unit. I just don't get why you have to come on here and bag out another companies products and support your own, when before you came on this thread your product dd was never brought up in the thread.... Don't get me wrong I am not saying your product is crap but it's also not the best in the world...

      Purchase new air conditioning condenser, and receiver / drier

      By mcfwordsworth · Posted

      Hi All, My R33 GTSt has a broken air conditioner condenser, and receiver drier.  Trying to find replacement parts (specifically a new receiver/drier) has been a nightmare.  Is anyone able to point me in the right direction, please?  It doesn't need to be OEM, just fit in the OEM space with the appropriate pressure switch. Many thanks, Michael

      I thought DW was one of those things that people thought was the bomb ~10 years ago and since learnt not to use their stuff? Because it's not any better than a bunch of other options, and definitely worse than a number of other options.

      There will be wiring, preferably crimping. The whole "skyline specific fuel pump" marketing that DW uses is a lie. It's just an ordinary fuel pump with all the ordinary bits that come with it. You still need to do all the wiring that you would have had to do otherwise if you bought something like a generic Walbro 525 pump.  Other things to consider (based on my horrible experience using DW pumps) * How is the fuel pump sock attached? On my old DW pump there was no locking mechanism, it was an interference fit and after a couple of years of driving, the sock came off. I now have a random fuel sock floating around in my tank =/ * Does the fuel pump have an internal check valve? My old DW pump didn't. Not having one is a pain. Just another thing to buy and faff about installing into your fuel line. I wish it was stated on the product box/online description 'no check valve'. The product description gave no indication if it had or didn't have one. I wouldn't have bought it had I known it didn't have an internal check valve.  * Consider the depth the factory fuel pump sock reaches in the tank. If you install the DW pump in the stock location and use the baby sized sock supplied, you will find yourself running out of fuel with like 15 litres of fuel still in the tank. + * Do you have any plans to use e85 in the future? Now is the time to install submergible e85 fuel lines in the tank.

      I have ad blockers and automation breakers (like NoScript) installed on all my browsers on all my devices. I have a PiHole at home and use other forms of DNS blocking to prevent the advertisers, and more importantly, the trackers from google, meta and all those other kunnts from watching what I do. They learn NOTHING! Or at least, as close to nothing as I can make it. I don't care if google knows that I'm searching for things. But they can get f**ked tracking my every move. Plus, when surfing donkey porn, the automation breakers help to prevent driveby trojan installers.
