Thanks guys I have some of your PM's. I'm flat out at work today and will only be able to respond after five. Thanks for your patience.

If you havn't PM'd me yet please do.

As time is getting closer, just wondering if this all can be done before the next fun day 19th Dec @ Winton?

PS: not sure if I have mentioned in PM, but I DO NOT require remote oil filter setup.

Shouldn't be a problem mate. I'll get all the details off to Toby @ Meridian tomorrow. He can order what he doesn't have overnight and can start shipping early next week.

Is it too late to put in an order?? For R32 GTST.. are the prices the same as before?

Credit card payment alright? Did anyone get Meridien to install theirs? How much was it??

If its too late its all good, we're up for the next group buy so let me know.

woot! So many questions, thanks :rant:

(so hard to keep up with the forum *and* maintaining 3 nissans, let alone anything else!!)

No, Not too late yet. Prices have all stayed the same as in the 1st post. Credit Card can be arranged. Meridian have done a few of these for SAU people, but they do them all the time on a large variety of cars. Installs can be arranged after the group buy has gone thorugh. But please go through here for the group buy price 1st.

Each install will vary as diff model lines have diff amount of space in front bars. Install is based on man hours to get the job done. Meridian have looked after us when installs have been difficult, by not charging us the full amount of hours spent on the install.

This round of oil coolers will be closed by the end of next week 10/12/04

Please PM me with the following details:

1. Your mobile number (In case we need to ask you anything)

2. Your prefered method of payment

3. Your intended place of install (behind radiator, front bar - drivers - passengers)

4. Your shipping address

5. Your vehicle type

6. any other information you think may be relevent.

I will reply with a price and information on how to make payment.

Damn... My posts keep disappearing from this thread.

Update: I have two payments. RS73 and LTSJayce

Toby @ Meridian has been very busy and will get some quotes to me tomorrow for Nightcrawler

Nozilla and GTShortie are you still interested in this group buy?

Looks like three people have pulled out and we may need one more for this round to go ahead.

Got PM. Responded.

Trust R33 - All the oil coolers I have seen come from Meridian so far have been brand new in a sealed box with plastic end caps on the cooler. I would imagine that Meridian dont sell anything reconditioned as they are a race shop (similar to revolution racegear), and not an importer, or car wrecker. But if you can PM me or email me the details I can make an inquiry for you. They are good blokes and i'm sure they would be happy to respond to any questions you may have.

What? Thats not good if it is a reconditioned one! How do you tell? It better be new when mine arrives...

LARGE case of "ditto"!I'm still 99.9% confident that a newie should show for all of us...I'm sure there's been an addressing mixup or similar.I know at my shop we've got 25 people and twice in the last 4 years a part was wrongly addressed and sent.If that was the case,imagine the look of glee the other bloke had when his "reconditioned" cooler showed up looking like brand new!!

Toby has advised that all oil coolers purchased from Meridian are brand new. The one that Trust 33 received had been painted twice in the factory for some reason. In fact the one I got which works fine on my car was exactly the same.

    • 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?
