Guys

I have contacted the mat people and they know of Dave Grab and he has done 2 or 3 group buys so it could be genuine, would be good if the OP could tell everyone WTF is going on. The mat people are going to call him and kick him the arse

Edited by R33GTRKid

Hey guys been missing for a while now which ill explain later but more importantly ill get to the stuff that really matters. To all those who have paid your mats will start arriving from next Friday so those in SA and VIC. The rest will start rocking up the Monday after that. I haven’t yet gone through PMs or posts but have worked my way through all the emails. Ill be working on getting through the PMs and posts in the next few days aswell as explaining what caused the delay and my absence for so long.

Cheers

In short what happened is: old laptop was dying 1.5 weeks before the end of the groupbuy, order a tablet PC from the US, laptop arrived 1 week later but i wasnt home to take delivery, douche bag delivering it threw it over a 2 metre fence so he wouldt have to redeliver it, Aust post and US postal f**ked me around, was sent to HP were they f**ked around assessing damage and replacing the screen, got it back semi fixed around the 15th of December, great timing as it was around the time matcraft was closing down for the XMAS break, ive been f**king around trying to get through the pile of stuff that amount from not having a computer of any sort for over a 1month which hasnt been fun whilst juggling a million other things. Thats pretty much it and also mucking around with my new job to keep them happy.

Ill just cut and paste the post i just made for the supra forums:

Just heard back from matcraft, dont really know whats taking so long as they didnt give an explanation however they will be sending it too me mid to late this week. Again the initial delay was on my end with the laptop bullshit business however i sent payment and the order through some time ago and considering it only 11 or 12 sets and 3-4 tunnel mats to make up for last groupbuy its take more than i would have thought. Its possible that they had a heap of orders mounting up whilst on holidays and are just clearing through it however they did say we would get priority and would get them out ASAP. So yeah payment and order details have been sent sometime ago and now its just be a wait until they rock up to me. Ill verify everything is as it should be when i receive them all and post them off same day.

As for another groupbuy i want to get back to where i was mid November before i take on the responsubility again. Shouldnt be that long off however this groupbuy went horribly wrong from the moment i decided a new laptop would free me up more and allow me to be more efficient and thus help people with floor mats and leather seat covers. As we have found out its been the total opposite and one massive headache for me but once everything is back to normal would all be sweet. Again its very unsual for me to not communicate like has happened with this groupbuy as normally i have a daily routine of visiting multiple forums each night so normally im on the ball with communiccation. This groupbuy because of what happened left me feeling really fustrated considering i like to keep people informed so they dont worry about their money and know whats happening with their product. That and i like staying ontop of things, so as stated from the previous groupbuy guys its out of character for me due to physically not having a computer of any sort (wish US postal was a physical being then i would punch it in the back of its head). Also i dont like making up excuses as normally when that starts to happen in groupbuys or internet transactions it means something dodgey is going on and the risk of getting scammed goes up considerably. So ill be posting pics up soon to prove i genuinely got arse raped by US postal. Kinda such having to convey something over the net yet having not net and i was stressing people would have thought i had dissappeared for good or somethign similar. Anyway it was kind of luck that the order was one of the smallest and i think it only effected 4 guys from supraforums, 3-4 from SAU and 4-5 from soarercentral.com

With any luck i get a consignment and tracking number from matcraft within the next few days and then it shouldnt be long after then. Again apologies to everyone in this groupbuy, even though the delays were out of my control i always feel personally responsible for any delay and these should have been in everyones hands around 3-4 weeks ago. Also to the guys with PMs ill get to them tomorrow as ive been having massive headaches for the last few days and really need to hit the hay as i feel like throwing up. But tomorrow every single PM will be replied to.

Cheers

can i get a front set for an r34

I do believe that the group buys are off until OP gets his business sorted.

How is everyone finding the mats?

Personally my heel wore through the heel pad in the first 2 months and I had to cut it off to stop my foot getting stuck, would recommend just getting the plain mat.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
