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

your a wheelnut ghostrider honestly...

the swaybar is still in the original whiteline box which is quite large and $60 was the price i got thru an electrical wholesaler i deal with not $20.90 which was a price u came up with...

i even offerd to go halfs which would have left me with $70

u said yourself Y would any1 want this if u can use an r31 swaybar but then u want it??? are u bipolar??? or just mentally insane???

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 :)

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
