this is very unlike sydneykid.. hes always been a champ. my work shut down over christmas also and had taken deposits for parts etc.. but let them know that were shutting down etc.

hope all ends well though.

Does sound strange, He's been a member here for a long time. I bought one of his kits when they first came out without any problems. Im sure there is a genuine reason and worst case you will get a refund if he is unable to supply the parts. Goodluck

??? ive read a few complaints about this guy in the past, is he really that good or does a few chinese whisper recommendations go too far!

Ive been affected by the whole reputation recomendation before only to be dissapointed.....goodluck with the transaction, hopefully this is the last thread i read about members being kept waiting anxiously and stressed.

yes i have had nothing but great chats with Gary in late November and early December.... he said everything was on it's way before xmas, and any shipping hold ups are no longer a problem.

But now when i call his workplace they are saying he is uncontactable and they're not sure when/if he's back.....wtf?

That was my only way of contacting him.

They said he no longer has a computer there also so i assume he's packed up.... eeek!!

I tried to warn the forum about this guy about a year ago...only to cop a warning from mods.

He's entered at Superlap...maybe front him there...although last year he also entered and was a no-show.

ive never had a problem with Gary. when i ordered mine i told him how urgent it was, i paid on the thursday and he dropped them off himself on the Sunday. im sure he'll get in contact with you soon mate.

I didn't bother buying anything from him other than the shocks. Every other part in his discount 'group buy' was over priced. He even sold the R33 rear camber kit at the same price as the R32 kit, which made it $200 over retail, about a 300% mark up :( . He didn't adjust the price for over a year into the group buy until he was pulled up on it in public...

Its not looking good mate. If you go to the group buy section you can see that R31Nismoid has closed them all stating the same thing in each thread

No response to PM's from Admin, means these are all over red rover

Thanks

ok......I've just be updated by a close source to seek legal advise.

Apparently many others are.

so there you go fellas.....

All the best in the hunt, definitely anyone affected by this trader should register into this thread so you can keep updates on anything happening etc.

Hopefully the moderators will provide any details they can........unless they take bribes from the trader

i think with the stict legalities of this forum that it is highly unlikely that the mods are taking bribes.. or that gary would be fronting any amount of money that would be worth taking a bribe for... and no amount of bribe can hide any info if it come into a serious legal battle..

also if infact there are others and legal actions are to be taken.. try joining together and all sue together as will be cheaper in legal fees

further:

Gary does not work at superior suspension anymore.... he moved his office out according to them over xmas.

i've been told to get legal advise by a source who knows what is happening but won't expand on it. apparently i am one of many.

but the odd thing is...there seems to be no one else on this forum or other forums who have dealt with him lately or had anything on order so it's hard to band together or get extra info.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
