Update:

Geeman and 200sx are out. Anymore interested buyers? Seems we only have a solid 5 buyers - I think.

I don't understand some of you guys sometimes. You all want quality and looks and not prepared to pay for it. Based on the previous group buys for other stuff on this site arranged by other people, I really feel disappointed at:

1. lack of interest and appreciation to those who arrange these things.

2. All talk and and no action.

This will be the last group buy that I ever arrange on this site regardless of whether this group buy goes ahead or not. It is just not worth my time doing all the hard yards and reaping no extra benefit. Might as well just get the rims myself.

200sx, yes I have read your email and did reply to it. That's alright mate, you go and get another set of rims. No grudge taken.

Geeman, I had the same thought as you to buy them straight away, but I thought I would do other skyliner's a good deed and offer a group buy where everyone benefits. Morale of the story is to be selfish and not share. So much for being a good samaritan. Also, no grudge taken.

If I don't get at least 8+ interested buyers by end of this week, i am calling this off. For those who indicated an interest, i thank you for your support. If you are still interested, please contact Slidewize directly after this week - just in case miracles do happen.

Nelson. :P:(:D

P.S. Buddyclub PI's only come in a maximum size of 17" and maximum width of 9". Please go and check out the buddclub links that I have posted. Offsets can be found in the link provided by geeman. As for PII's, dream on if you think PII's can be bought for $1399.95/set (this backs my earlier comment about quality and good looks but not wanting to pay for it).

siu_loong_bao - i know what you mean mate... i think we need to work out a better system for group buys.. had about 35 people ask me for bank details for group buy im doing and so far had 15 deposits when they were all told order was happening on monday... just screws around everyone else.

My biggest problem is that I have a trackday coming up in 2wks. Whilst I may be able to afford it now.. something could go wrong at the trackday meaning i'd be "stuck".

Just a matter of bad timing for me thats all.

It's off. A pity and a shame. Only got 6 interested buyers. Need I say more?

I apologise to all those that were interested. You may like to email slidewizeimports directly and get them at $1470/set (unless Zac is willing to give us 6 people a discount).

Where to from here? Certainly never again will I arrange a group buy. As for rims, I'll stick to my stocks until I decide otherwise.

Regards

Nelson.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
