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

Cheers, Dale.

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...

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
