***Do not post a message here unless you are an interested buyer***

I do not want this Thread to be clogged with unrelated issues. However, pm me if you do have any questions relating to this buy.

Nelson.

P.S. I am also in the process of trying to arrange a group buy deal with a manufacturer making carbon fibre bonnet lids, boot lids, etc. I will keep you all informed of the progress shortly.

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.

[siu_loong_bao]

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.

err.. Mercury Motorsport might according to this thread http://www.silviansw.com/forum/viewtopic.p...p?p=77210#77210

[gatty]

i might be interested in some for my R33 - 17 x 8's - silver ones

but i was hoping to get some before may

[inso]

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

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

[200sx]

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]

im very interested for a r32 gtr... but any chance of getting a group buy with some tyres?? or even a seperate one for the tyres??

[siu_loong_bao]

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.

[geeman]

I didn't realy want to wait that long but if i can save $130 bucks i'll wait.

[DR.ZOIDBERG]

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

[Guest INASNT]

Can u get P1 Racing II in black with the chrome lip in 18x8's?

[sidewaymambo]

I am interested too, will check correct offset due to my front calipers, will confirm by Wednesday..

Cheers,

[OohArrGTR]

well, im keen but can u get these in 18 or 19s or not ??? and i want to find a total price including tyres ! so anyone in sydney that can hook me up with some good cheap tyres let us know

[200sx]

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
