Howdy guys - quick update

I spoke to Grant at Noltec again today. These kits were "supposed" to be in last friday. I then had a phone call late friday, to which they told me Monday at the latest.

Now i rang just then, and they said they have over 40 sets they are STILL waiting on from the laminators, so they havent got any still...

He will be sending them overnight to me as soon as he sees them, and we are on top of the order list. He didnt give me any date, but id assume they would be very soon.

Basically were only being held up by production delays atm, sorry guys. Noltec do realise they are stuffing us around now, and are sorry about this.

I hope we can get these in this week, but i'll keep u all updated as best i can.

i just realised it's been nearly 2 months since i paid and i came in to this thing half way through! i'm sure lots of dudes had paid up before me. good thing I didnt hoe into it and rip out the old bushes lol. ah well we live and learn... :dry:

yer i know, its been 4 months since i started, and i havent even got a set for myself (which is why i started this in the first place)

Production delays are farked, but if i only ordered a few sets, it wouldve been over weeks ago. As it is, once i opened payments, it took a month for the first 5 people to pay, which i then contacted Noltec to place the order, who we all have been waiting on for about 3 weeks now.

I cant do anything about it now, but in future GB's, i will state there will be a delay in getting all monies in, to ordering (if they have all stock in) , then for me to get it out.

Delays are a part of this gb crud...

Delays are always part of saving money in my experience. If you want something quickly, pay the RRP; if you want to save, be prepared to wait :D

You've kept us updated throughout the process, and frankly I think that's more important than anything else; I don't care about delays as long as I have updates now and again to let me know how things stand.

All in all, I think you've done your part :P

Fantastic work :D

don't know if I've given you a delivery address, but when they're ready to send out can i get you to send them directly to the shop where the car is?

will PM you the address

Thanks mate :)

this is begininng to frustrate me. now 9 weeks since i got in on this thing. is anything happening? it seems these guys couldnt organise a root in a brothel.

Tell me about it. I got an email today saying funds have cleared, and are being shipped, so i wont expect them to be hear till monday if thats the case.

I certainly wont be dealing with Noltec again now, so sorry guys who wanted other kits for their car. Customer service is below what id call satisfactory.

Sounds similiar to the problem I had with Bosch sourcing Z32 AFM's.

At first.. yeahh no problems.. we can supply what ever you want.. The more the better. Around 30 Z32's? Yeahh 30 32's is no problems.

Waiting for the group buy to progress.... I receive a call...

"Oh sorry there's been problems when moving the manufacturing plant from japan to germany that has caused back orders... There's no way we can supply 30. Lots of 5 once a month no problems, or if you wish we believe we will be able to supply what you are after by such and such month"

That month comes

"oh no we can't supply, next month will be fine"

Next month comes around

"next month.. we are getting there"

Now they are certian August is the month they will be able to supply what I want. I doubt it...

There is one good thing that has came out of this... I am able to get lots of 2 AFM's damn cheap. As cheap as the group buy price; but I won't, I will wait. :yes:

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
