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.

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
