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:

guess what just arrived in the morning mail? :P

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

thanks mate :)

I may even get these in next week. Will have to see how I get on.

guess what just arrived in the morning mail? :blush:

"...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.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
