Why? I wonder would anyone want an Whiteline front bar for $100.00 when the ozzy R31 front is a bolt on affair and bigger (25mm) and better for about $50 in the local wrecker (Auto Parts Recycler)

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Interesting outcome to this ???????????????????????????

Made the offer of $100.00 including postage & called Jon on his mobile. He claimed freight to be $60.00 and asked if I would go halves, to which I initially agreed.

But when I checked Aust Post calculator with dimensions from my own custom made & R31 front bar (105 x 10 x 37cm) the cost for regular parcel post was $20.90 on cubic measurement & weight up to 10kg?

This guy is a real gem, wants to stiff the only person showing interest in something he has been trying to sell for over 6 months & then has the audacity to say he will use it in his next coupe, when it happens???????

I think he should be given a very wide birth.

Cheers, D

We wanted me to pay $30.00 as 50% of the alleged postage when in fact it was only $20.90.

So! He wasn't doing any deals, but getting $110.00 for his bar?

The outcome is he still owns the bar AND from my recent calculations the difference between a SOLID 24mm front bar (Selby's) and the OEM R31 HOLLOW 25mm front bar is very, very, marginal and for my money, not worth the purchase at any cost, of a new 24mm solid bar.

Cheers, D

Jon,

You're showing your maturity by how you speak now eh???????

Try looking up ebay, do a search for R30 Skyline and you will find the following product;

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Nissan-Skyline-R30-...id=p3286.c0.m14

Go check the postage calculator for Sydney 2560 and it estimates $20.00 for a full kit, that's front & rear from Victoria.

Then look at Aust Post calculator, which you were too lazy to do the first time around and quote some dimensions like 105 x 37 x 10cm and you will get a postage cost of $20.90 from post code 4305 to 2560 to a max of 10kg.

And you want $60.00???????????????????????????????????

You have a reputation amongst some people on this forum and "wheelnut" doesn't get slightly close. We have crossed paths on ebay and you are most certainly the same here as you are there.

I don't need your bar, it was as I told you, for experimental purposes only, but I ordered a custom rear bar from Selby's yesterday and it should be a good match to the standard R31 front.

"No worries. I'll end up using it in my other coupe when it happens so no stress" ........... remember this???????

Enjoy your other COUPE you spoke of when it happens???????

If this was anything like the truth, why have you been trying to sell it for over 6 months. You even bumped this thread to generate some interest as there had been none for months.

As for Silent Shadow, don't bother with the comfy chair, coz it aint gunna happen this time. He aint worth the effort fighting with. I have posted the links for everyone to see, that he was trying to stiff me for excessive freight/postage costs.

Cheers, D

as said that was the price i was given. congratulations on finding cheaper freight.

> you also have a reputation.

thanks and i will enjoy my 2nd r30 coupe when it happens because its a longterm project and if i still have the bar than it will be used :)

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
