Hey everyone,

I approached an importer who is manufacturing strut bars today about group buys. He gave me some prices which i belived were very reasonable with ten or more applicants. What i basically want to know is are we able to advertise a group buy on here seeing as im going to be purchasing one?? The group buy involves front and rear strut bars. Front being $120, rear being $115. These seem to appear of a high quality. Anyway if the mods have a problem let me know. If I can get at least ten buyers i'll be able to get them for this price. So basically i need 9 people as im getting one. I took some snips of some examples this arvo. They are available for s13, s14, s15, r32, r33, r34, jz80 supra and wrx. They are new, not 2nd hand.

Strut bars

Also, is there any brisbane mods that would be able to assist me with this group buy if we happen to get a fair few?

Thanks

Jayson

That's fine mate, a few people from the silvia site are in sydney too. I was thinking of sending them down to sydney together to one of the club members and having everyone pick them up from there. That way there is cheap freight for everyone. Maybe i can do the same here?

my moby is 0401 669 900 and my name is Jayson. Can be contacted via email [email protected] , pm or phone. The strut bars are made by a company called STZ automotive. They import jap parts, front cuts etc and i believe they are copys of some of the strut towers they've bought in from japan. They are very solid and still quite light. Im going to buy one myself but i can save myself some money if i get a few to buy at the same time. I'll put a list up of definates and the state your in so maybe we can organise a couple together in one courier so it's cheaper delivery. Can definates please pm me. Dont hesitate to ask for more info if you like.

Thanks

Hey Mase,

Very interested in front strut bar and just like Strutto no delivery for me either :D

And does it have to be 10 of the same strut bar (like 10 x R33 Front Strut Bar) for us to get the discount?

Or will a mixture be ok?

The great thing about this group buy is that a mixture is fine.

Check out this thread on nissansilvia.com . We will have ten easy so it's a definate go ahead.

There are heaps of people from the ACT and NSW making orders so group courier is a definate for cheap delivery. Im going to organise payment details eventually. That will happen after i put the order in on wednesday.

Strutto they are made by STZ automotive. They import cuts, parts etc as well as strut braces and other suspension parts however they have decided to start making them as well.

Thanks peeps

Jayson

Im in aswell but no delivery for me eather.. ill pick one up from whoever you wanna send in sydney.. is that ok?

I've got an R32 GTS-t, so one front strut bar for me.. thanx

Babak.

Nexus 9 and Strutto, would we be able to organise a time for you two to both come and check these out and pick them up? Seeing as i have aquired ten or more now you can come in anytime and grab them. The shop is located in northgate, brisbane. My email is [email protected] or my moby is 0401 669 900 and we can organise a time to meet there and grab them for you or at least check them out.

JimX, i need to know what type of car it's for buddy. Postage is gonna be cheap as. There are a few people in sydney buying them.

JimX and people definately wanting to buy please email me on [email protected] or pm me. I'll need .....

Name:

Vehicle: r32,33,34 180 or silvia, s14, s15 front or rear

Engine: which engine your running ie sr, rb20, 25,26, ca

State and Area: ie for sending group postage

Once i have these details i'll go request all from the supplier and if he has them all i'll send bank details and courier details. This will include who the group strut bars are being sent to and whether it is all agreed on. I won't be sending the strut bars to anybody and everybody. I'll suss it out first. I have a reliable person in the ACT and i think Zman is looking pretty good for the sydney people. So let me know people so i can put this first order in for wednesday.

Thanks again

Jayson

    • 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
