Update: R32 bushes

Sorry guys, ive been in contact with Noltec for about a week regarding their stock of r32 bushes. I rang over a week ago asking if they had any in stock, and they only had 2 sets. They told me the next run would be last friday - which didnt come in.

I rang again today (interstate calls for me yay!) and the guy tells me that Noltec themselves ran out of crush tubes, so the place that makes the bush couldnt make any....

The guy there is trying to track me down at least 5 sets for you first 5 guys, and hopefully ringing me back today with good news.

Im pushing them to make more dont worry...

sorry guys, its been out of my hands but hopefully we should see some soon. Thought i better let you guys what the deal was.

Thanks for the update mate. I haven't started my suspension make-over yet but will most probably be cracking into it at the end of this month, do you think its possible we'll recieve the bushes by then Darren? I'm in the 2nd buy.

Just spoke to Noltec then.

Next shipment will not be in until a week and a half from now. This means i cant order anything until they have more stock in im afraid. :)

Its out of my hands, sorry guys. This happened with the r33 gb (same bushes). Las time they told me same thing, and 5 days later they had them...

Just got a list here of the people waiting for these damn bushes...

If u have paid, and cant see your name on the list, please let me know asap, and i'll add you. Im ordering all bushes at once now, (due to the delay of supplies) so everyone should have them around the same time

thanks guys for being patient. I have spoke to Noltec, and stock will be in THIS FRIDAY >_<:D

I have spoken to Noltec, and i will be doing rear camber kits, caster kits (std or adjustable), and front camber kits.

I'll need 5 or more kits to get big discounts again, but as for anything else off their catalogue, ask me and i can get 20% off their RRP.

thanks for the upate mate. sterling work :)

personally i think you should break some balls a little over there as they are taking their sweet time. my subframe has been out and back in already now but i'd still like to get them asap. any word on why it's been so long between payment/order and delivery?

but again, top effort mate ;)

but again, top effort mate :banana:

Noltec seem to run out of stock before they decide to even have new ones made to restock themselves. I asked why it was taking so long at one point, and they commented they ran out of srush tubes, so they couldnt even supply their suppliers with the parts needed to make these :)

how far away do u think those other group buys are gonna take?

ud think with all the business ur drumming up for them theyd giddy up abit.

yer well that must come down to the fact im a new supplier, and they are just starting to realise i can move a bit of stuff...im almost on a first name basis now with the guys there, so its basically building a business rep if u like. They prolly trust me now if i say i want 10 kits, they will trry to pull a finger...

Future orders should happen faster is the main thing.

I really wanna finish this one before i go ahead and do another one. Its too time consuming for me, especially when i dont make a profit on any of this.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
