Well I was one of the dobbers, but I've pm'd about the delivery too.

the other thing I was interested in was whether anyone had fitted them yet, and how you went about fitting? or if you had them fitted somewhere how did they do it? and how much? I'm keen to try and get these in before the end of the month as I have 2 trackdays coming up.

I just came home and the package was in my room. So no problems here.

Although if anyone can post up instructions that would be awesome. I was thinking of fitting pineapple rings at the same time.

I received mine today. They are impressively big and heavy. Should make a good conversation piece when I set them up on the coffee table :P

Bl4cK32: Thanks for all your efforts, particularly given Noltec's... err.. slow response. It must have been difficult to be caught between an unhelpful supplier and people demanding their product.

Bl4cK32 posted up some instructions somewhere that explain the process, although if Noltec has some it would be nice to get our hands on those.

As for where, I am fairly sure someone (Duncan?) said Nathan recently pressed in/out some sub frame bushes for them. Your other option for removal is using a hacksaw to cut to the metal surround and hammering out the bush (as an optional extra, you can burn out the rubber :D)

The use of pineapples will only be usefull for angling the cradle to aid traction and create a little more squat.

Obviously for this to work correctly the rear camber needs to be spot on.

yeah I was thinking maybe heat the subframe till it's nice and toasty with the oxy torch, then try and bash them out. but if nathan has pressed some out before successfully then that will be the way I go.

it seems that I'm only a day behind with delivery. I just seemed to remember they were posted last thursday and I kind of thought they would be here monday. so being wednesday got a bit nervous.

edit: $250 fitted doesn't sound that bad to me. if it's drive in, drive out.

This thread has been reopened as some members involved dont seem to have received the parts they paid for.

How can i be held responsible for Australia posts slow service...its obvious people live all over Aus, and i had deliveries to WA to Qld, so expect some delays.

I havent ripped anyone off, in fact it ended up costing me in postage, so be thankful that i still chose to do this out of my own pocket before closing the gb.

It is the last time im doing it, as im sick of the hassle, and 50 pms a fortnight. AS well as everyone second guessing me that im gunna run off with everyones money.

I have a trader rating, and have been part of these forums for a long time, with more people to act as a character reference i thought some would have faith in me.....obviously not.

i think we are all cool. :D

I dont think Blitz was having a go. Just stating that delivery was yet to occurr in some cases, and giving some advice to sort it asap. You could probably read that sentence 5 different ways, with different toan/inflection etc. but I dont think he was trying to break your balls. just explaining why the re-open.

I appreciate your efforts! :P

so the real question is, who will win the race to be the first guy with some fitted? and the first on track?

thats fine. Just thought people might have some faith in me, and patience with the postal system.

I could have offered express post, but who wanted to pay $20 for postage, when u can wait 3 days.....?

haha, i have no patience. I just remembered that the were posted on thursday, and usually from anywhere to sydney is only 2 or 3 days (so was expecting them monday or tuesday). guess they just got lumped on the slow boat!

fark knows....yours may have fallen behind a shelf at the post office and is long forgotten :laugh:

"...Farking aus post. 1 week from SA to sydney. that really sucks."

Damn their oily hides! I'm in Perth and i'm still waiting. I'm, hoping theres a letter from my post office today asking me to pick up yet another suspect looking package :blush:

Thanks Bl4cK32 for organising this GB, dont stress. It's cool.

    • 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
