Got an email back last night after seeing what we could do to speed things up.

The fittings they use are actually manufactured by Speedflow in Australia for them. I have the part numbers for the fittings.

So maybe I should email Speedflow and see if we can buy the fittings ourselves or something and Hel will pick up the bill?

Dam another delay >_<

I'm really keen to have black fittings but I also want the kit asap. Hmmmmm i'll wait and see what they come back with.

A free braided brake kit would be pretty sweet :turned:

PM replied Paul. I'll get them to send yours out (and any one else that doesn't care about the red/blue fittings).

I'll email speedflow today about the fittings to see what the go is. Maybe they can send them all out to every one or something.

We need 2 x 101-08 and 2x 103-08 each in black.

I'm happy to wait for black fittings.

& would prefer not to have to get black fittings put on myself...

If they're really sorry a free clutch line wouldn't go astray :whistling:

Maybe ship the parts to Speedflow, get Speedflow to fit them and ship them to our locations. All insured incase they go missing/get damaged for any reason. Just seems stupid to wait for parts in Australia to be shipped to the UK to be fitted there and then wait to be shipped back to us in Australia.

I'm able to wait, not happy but I "need" the black connectors more then I "need" the cooler to be installed urgently.

Appreciate all your effort.

Good idea. Will hit them up with that one. Thanks for your patience guys. I've decided this is going to be the last group buy I do, just not worth these headaches anymore. Between this and the GTR pedal drama i've had enough.

Well I think you do a good job Phil. The fact that you keep us informed is all I ask for when waiting for parts to arrive. Anything else is pretty much out of your hands and the fact that "sh*t happens" is something we have to deal with.

It's a shame your not going to be doing anymore group buys >_< i've been saving hopeing a diff group buy comes up soon haha.

Really appreciate all your efforts in putting these together and following everything through to the end.

I just cant believe how these places can't handle putting together a box of parts and posting them out, you do all the hard work, finding buyers getting the funds together and sending each part out individually.

Yep it blows my mind aswell.

Anyway I am still waiting to hear back from Speedflow to see what they say and also to hear back from Hel to see what would be the best way to go about this whole thing if we get the fittings directly through Speedflow.

Also finding out if the red/blue fittings are actually allready attached to the braided lines since in the photos of the kits, they are seperate. This would make it a bit easier since we wouldn't have to remove them.

I guess its hard being the middle man, but what you have been doing is helping out fellow SAUers with great deals. :worship:

If only they were on the ball like you are there would be no problems

Don't give up, just find a better dealer. I think I've found one or two in VIC who seem to be doing very good deals. for pads/ rotors/brake kits.

Mate you've done a good job putting this group buy together, its not your fault companies stuff up the order....

But i'm also keen on just getting it sent out, black, red or blue fittings doesnt bother me... But yea i agree with the others, ask for compensation...

Guys one of the guys has asked for a refund (which is completely understandable) however due to the cost of these, I simply can't afford to refund out of my own pocket. So if some one doesn't mind waiting to see this through they can take his spot. Otherwise I'll have to hit up Hel for a refund.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
