UPDATE:

Have been emailing and leaving messages with the guy I have been dealing with regarding this group buy and have still not received a reply. No f**king idea what is going on with this guy but I aint happy about it. Anyway I gave up trying to get through to him so just rang the head office phone number and explained to them what the go is and luckily the guy I spoke to knew all about it.

Turns out the lines have not been sent due to them running out of the ADR sleeves. All the certificates are done and the lines are ready, just half of them still don't have the stupid ADR sleeves. It still might be another week or two before they will be at my door. Why the guy I have been dealing with couldn't just tell me that and instead choose to not reply to me and make me f**king freak out thinking I'd been ripped off $3000 is beyond me.

I really do apologise about this and I understand if there is any anger. I will offer refunds to people if they wish to have their money back and all I can say is i'm sorry. If I knew this would have happened I wouldn't have bothered. Honestly I don't think I will do another group buy as this has turned into a f**king nightmare.

Once again very sorry guys and I hope you can understand this is unfortunately out of my hands and im doing my best to keep it together.

not your fault, cant help it if people want to be difficult aye

works out alright for me anyway, I should be home by the time there sent so they can be sent to the original address I gave you or the new one I told you, whatevers easiest for you :)

Well when they get hear i'll let you know and just tell me what address you want them sent to.

I have been pissed off about this for the last few days thinking about how on earth im going to get $3k together to pay every one back if this guy had actually ripped me off lol.

spewing your not doing another, have been keeping a close eye on this thread waiting for the next group buy, wanted the clutch line too

i don't really mind a bit of a wait as long as i get then in the end

all's well in the end mate. good on you for organising this

Dont worry too much about it mate. I'm sure most of us thats in the group buy arent in a hurry to get them and like Fred said, so long as we get them in the end. Thanks for organizing the group buy.

Yeah don't worry about it mate.. Big companies like this always ignore when they havent sent the parts.. Once the order is in.. All they do is send when ready and ignore contact...

Its kinda silly cause i'd rather know that the parts are just delayed instead of freaking out that they arent responding... I don;t think anyone would expect you to refund their money if it all went pair shaped.. You're helping people out..

This kind of shit happens all the time in a big company. I should know I work for one!

If I was in charge I'd have fired half the staff by now, because all they do it make things more expensive & difficult.

Don't beat yourself up about it mate, you've made a substantial effort not only to get this done asap, but also keep everyone in the loop with what's happening. As long as you do that you've done everything you can.

At least you know who to call next time if there is a stuff up.

Speaking only for myself, no big deal on the wait. I have pleanty of other stuff to fit to my line atm.

:) Not your fault don't sweat it, I came 13000 miles 30 years ago to get away from these farkers and I can see they aint changed , still the same ole British Leyland stupid stupid mentality.

Like the others have said. I appreciate that you did the group buy and am happy to wait as long as they show up. I wouldn't be surprised if they had to manufacture them even though they committed to shipping stock immediately.

Remember the US and UK got really hard hit during the financial crisis so wouldn't be surprised at all about service dropping just to stay in business.

Hopefully they respond to you soon though. That is just poor customer service not to even respond to a paying customer.

such a shame that guy is giving you a hard time man, but if you have it confirmed with head office then all should be good.

just out of curiosity, who is this certain individual you are dealing with anyway, does he have a shop (sells Hel stuff) or does he work for Hel?

Thanks for all the kind words guys, helps a lot :D We will get them in the end so all is still good.

Originally I thought the guy I was dealing with worked for Hel (I found his details through a motorbike forum that had good experiences with him), then I thought he might have his own shop but all he deals with is Hel lines and when I rang head office they knew him by first name and knew straight away about the order so he must work for them, but maybe privately on the side or something? I dunno. Either way Hel head office know all about this so everything is good and I don't have to worry about it any more, just have to wait a bit longer unfortunately.

can you give us an estimate when they can start shipping? im off for a vacation soon (not sure when, but very soon) i might miss this, PNG's post is a bit of slack. dont want any headaches.

They said one to two weeks until I receive them (that was last week), however whether I can believe that is another story.

Let me know what you want to do, whether you want to wait or I can give you a refund or I can hang onto your kit and send it to you at a later date or something. Completely up to you man.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • 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?
