Im down for a set, not sure on colour (still tossing up between silver/gold, for my silver r33). Most likely get the 17x8 front and rear as ive heard 8 is the widest you can legally fit on the gtst, not sure on the accuracy of this though.

Ive ordered from slidewize before and would recommend them to others, hopefully we can get enough people for this to go ahead.

Thank you inso.

An update to the buy - Inso and myself are "In". I have 2 more who have expressed interest (you know who you are).

This means, we technically have '4' buyers. Come on everyone, BuddyClubs are a good set of rims and look great on Skylines (or even any other car). I can't believe there are so few people jumping at this buy. Go check the site out for pics of the rims on their race cars.

If you can find any place that can do you a new set of Buddyclub P1 Reacing 17" (rims only) deal for less than $1399.95 AUS delivered, I'll shave all of my hair off. Oh also, those who would like to see this happen to me must make a $10 donation to SAU.

Remember, COB Fri 14th May 2004 is the cut-off.

As for 8" being the legal width, I am not sure. I have seen 9" rears (WEDS rims) on jay51's r33 baby - No problems at all.

Regards,

Nelson.

Siu_loong_bao, dont want to clutter up the thread too much but here's a couple of the threads re rim width. Don't know whether whats there is correct or not though?

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...light=rim+width

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...light=rim+width

Also the $1299 listed in thread linked above doesnt mention anything regarding freight which this buy is inclusive of.

im interested in the group buy, but having watched on a couple forums (mainly silvia ones) the number of different shops (ie. slidewize, modyourcar, mercury motorsport) which are offering the group buy, it gets all abit confusing when they all start to undercut each other. Obviously I would go for the one which sets the lowest price (including shipping), and im sure most people are thinking the same. At the moment mercury motorsports one sounds most enticing, although until it is confirmed whether shipping is included in the $1299 price tag. I would still be leaning towards slidewize. Im not too fussed who the group buy is purchased from in the end, but maybe showing that there is competition out there for slidewize they might offer us a better deal yet?

OohArrGTR: Group buys for tyres are a bit difficult unless there is a group buy for every State in 1 dedicated store. The freight is the killer. As for sending tyres from Japan, I don't think Customs allows it due to different rubber compounds used??? (Not sure) If you would like to clarify this, post a Thread in the Discussions Forum.

200sx: Yes, I have just checked out the link posted by 'pivot'. $1299 is really cheap but then again, does that include delivery? (Yet to be confirmed by Mercurymotorsports). If it does include delivery, I am sure it is for a single delivery to a single address. My Group buy is to your doorstep, there's a difference. I have also left Slidewize a message about the Mercurymotorsports Groupbuy - will let you all know. But at this stage, I currently do not see anyone offering for cheaper.

At the end of the day, whoever that can offer a better deal will get my business. And I am sure that it goes for all consumers!!! If Mercury are cheaper, I'll go with them.

Regards,

Nelson.

Ive been talking to Modyourcar.com.au and they can do them for $1395 This price ALSO INCLUDES delivery to your doorstep.

I want a set for myself asap, so what ever company gets the deal, im in

Please Siu_Loong_Bao check your pm and can we get the ball going on this group buy as it seems there is a few ppl interested (Im hopping atleast 10)

Look forward to your reply

This Group Buy is looking very optimistic and may go ahead. Yeah!!!! :headspin: :headspin: :headspin:

Nelson.

Hey

So the total price will be $1399.95, I have already been speaking to MrZac by email and have I want to go P1's as PII's are too damn $$ (More $$ for Mods this way). Just a pitty we have to wait 4-6 weeks after the 21st almost another 2 months hahaha.

I will confirm Tuesday if im 100% in or not, just need to find out a few things 1st, hopefully by then the others that need to 100% confirm will get back to you aswell.

Thanks

CHASP

i dont think the P1's come in 18's, so my guess is no. Depending on tyre quality, Id say budget around $200-$250 a tyre for 17's (for decent ones, that will actually improve grip) so $800-$1000 (for tyres) + $1399.95 = 17" Buddy Club P1's + tyres

    • 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?
