The guys have done and lot of work and given up their own time to do this, thanks guys.

Even though its been a while with no hoodies or updates, I doubt Adrian And Damo are just sitting around twiddling their thumbs. I trust them (although I haven't even met them!) and I'm not complaining about this. I know something is happening and eventually we will get our hoodies.

If its next week or next month, or even a few months time, we will get them and whatever the wait is, I'm sure its definitely for a good reason. If we get the hoodies as they are now in a months time, well at least we know they tried to do something.

I don't care how long it takes, to do something right, it sometimes takes time.

Everyone just needs to stop complaining and wait patiently, like the majority of the 87 or however many people ordered a hoodie. Stop asking for updates, when progress is made (as in when we can get them), I'm sure we will be informed.

On that note, lets close this thread and close any others that get opened for useless complaining.

Tom.

Dont get me wrong, i can see how you are all pretty frustrated with it. Its frustrating me a hell of alot, all this is on me and im trying my damn hardest to clear this shit, coz i really dont need the stress, but accept its my fault. A couple of people have pm'd me and i have responded, you just gotta ask.

just pm us! were happy for it and if u really need to know then do it! not too hard..

u think were sitting here doin nothing about then ur bloody wrong... we have so many emails back and forward we are dealing with.. so maybe cut us some slack...

*grabs popcorn*

Nah but seriously, the problem I can tell here is the lack of communications - it shouldnt be up to the buyer to wait around and eventually question whats going on with their purchase - I'm sure quite a number of the 87(or whatever) buyers are very keen to know whats going on but dont want to ask publicly due to the few that HAS ask receives an answer something along the lines of "<insert a few lines of profanity> STFU HTFU stop whinging and wait like the others rah rah rah!". At minimum an update, and probably a "thank you for your patience", in the form of a short PM/e-mail would help put people's mind at rest aswell as maintaining buyer's confidence and prevents multiple threads and post popping up questioning whats going on.

My 33c *sits back and just f**king chilling out aye*

well plenty of other ppl have asked and they know wats going on so y dont u ask... i c the ppl asking arent posting up F**k wit comments on here!

back here was the "please join mailing list" post in a thread that is still avalible and the reason why they have moved to e-mail rather than posts. it even states that people dont read, and the numerous times i've supplied this information for others to access as well

but for the REALLY slow/arrogant ones of you:

-you cant do mass PMs on SAU

-they never collected peoples emails with the orders, so how would they have them?

-they asked for your emails if you wanted updates and you either missed the post or read it and CFB'ed singing up, for most SAU people that i know read and post in the wasteland, STFU!! for interstate buyers they have a legit point, but someone has usually answered their "where is hoddie" posts pritty quickly

IMO they could use the 4 hours it'd probably take them to personally PM everyone on the list and put that time towards fixing the situation

for those of you who can't operate a hyper link, here are the people you need to contact to be informed/signed up to the list with:

Adrian [email protected] (organiser #1)

Damien [email protected] / [email protected] (organiser #2)

Sled [email protected] (Biker dude that will f**k you up if you ask any more stupid questions) :)

the information is there, i dont expect them to personally PM everyone (coz of the time it takes), and they have offered e-mail updates!!! as much as this has been a cock up, you guys aren't helping

and before anyone runs off to start another group buy, we need to sit down and talk stuff out with the people that are actually wanting to help, i would sugest Madaz, Adrian, Damo, PK and myself as well as anyone else who is interested get together one night and have a good chat about this, form a plan of action on what to do, probably get MULTIPLE quotes, talk, get some fourm opinions, get back together discuss some more... then act. without this i think it would be silly of us to start up another group buy!! if you like we can start talking about it at villis this friday, we have alot of potential contacts and resources... why not use them??

    • I'm seeing torque specs all over the place for the OUTER tie rod, but none for the INNER tie rod, where it connects to the steering rack. Even in videos, people are just tightening em up as much as they can with a wrench and that's it. Anything tightened down without torque makes me nervous. Anyone know what the spec is for it?
    • Hope you had a great time here in our tiny country.   The JDM scene we have here is quite small, it's mostly BMW, Volkswagen with burble tunes haha. But the few JDM cars we do have in the scene are pretty nice. Some of my friends drive cool s14's too. Both built engines, red one makes abt 500, blue one abt 400 i think?
    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
