Okay cool, so minimum has been reached.

I place the order Friday next week (that's the 4th November) in case there are a few others that want in and will PM you guys my account details.

Please make sure that your $122.55 has been deposited prior to 2nd to ensure I receive it by the 4th.

Great job Cam!thumbsup.gif Well done on the group buy; looking forward to a PM, I'll get the funds across ASAP

Great work getting this GB together.

I've just transferred the money.

Cheers, Russel (Rosella)

Hey guys, I have only 6 sets completed and shipped as of today and am expecting the remaining kits tomorrow or Friday.

I will ship them out as quickly as I can (I already have the brackets sitting here waiting), so apologies to those of you whom didn't receive a PM with a tracking number today.

The first 6 sets were shipped to the guys who paid up the quickest.

Cheers,

Cam

Damn you Cam!rant.gif

After lying in bed trying to go to sleep for nightshift, knowing that my bonnet strut kit was mere meters away in the garage; I relented and installed it.nyaanyaa.gif

Seriously, the only way this kit could be easier to install; would be if it actually came with a little man in the bag to fit it for you. It's such a good fit! Couldn't have taken more than10 minutes.

It took me longer to find a 5.5mm drill bit than it did to get the struts on and the bonnet back down.thumbsup.gif

Thanks again mate; no more bashed noggin, and the bonnet opens far enough to allow the overhead light in my garage to plumb the depths of my engine bay! How did you know? How!

The only thing I added was a 5mm flat washer under the nut on the lower mount; but that's 'cos I'm a pedantic bastard...

If you don't think you need this kit; you are wrong.

There are now only two kinds of people in the world; those who have gas struts on their Stagea bonnets; and those who will...

Haha! Thanks Dale. Dunno if it is the kit or lack of sleep that has you so excited, but glad you like 'em.

Hopefully today or tomorrow Scott.

I'll let you know and work out a time to come around... or you could take the road trip down to me of course (and bring the dog this time :P)

Sharon wont like being called that Cam... >_<

Hey Cam,

Kit turned up today around lunch time just after you sent through the correct tracking number.

Dunno if I'm gunna have the same luck as Dale did in getting it installed.

Got the weekend to do it, but rain is forecast. I don't have a garage >_<

Once again, great work in getting this together. :cheers:

As Molly says, do ya selves a favour and buy it!!!

You'll really appreciate the extra space when working on your car.

Installed mine this arvo... Was a breeze. I installed them so the bonnet was the same height as I would be using the hook but that all depends your your own preference.... Thanks again cam. Exerlent work...

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive 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?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
