Al,

I'm sorry, I'm going to have to pull out unless somebody wants to lend me the cash!

Bloody bill this this month and all my money is gone.  Plus I have to pay for the prototype AFM to TURBO duct some time this week.

BASS OUT

BASS,

Do you know what the AFM to Turbo Duct is going to cost ?

If so, I'll pay for mine in advance. Would that help ????

Fat.

Thanks for the offer, but I'm not sure exactly the cost of the ducts yet, and I don't want to take any money for them until they are prototyped and proven to fit all cars that I'm offering them for.

I think I should get slotted rotors before I get brake lines too.

Thanks again.

Hey Al, what's the latest?

I see that some people are now looking to pull out. Are we in danger of getting below 15 and this thing turning into a house of cards?

I didn't receive a PM from you on Friday either.

Any light you could shed would be greatly appreciated,

Adrian

Well this friday i will PM all interested parties and for those that want clutch lines i will let you know how much it will cost.

Friday is not a deadline as such.  On Friday i will post details of an account to transfer money into.  Once i have all payments i will buy a ticket to MEXICO :P.

doesnt seem to be going ahead. I contacted maltech myself and they verified the setup with AL but......

Been thinking about organising it myself but cos Im still a newbie and I dont have a trader rating - thought it might be 2 hard.

Any one out their that would want to take over this cos I am sure their are some people that would still want these products. I know I still do.

Give Al a chance. I think this group buy will still go ahead. I know he's been a busy boy.

I'll give him a call later and see if he needs me to take it over. I think he may be waiting for one or two more people as we are just short of the 15 ppl buy price.

I'll let you guys know............

money transferred and email to Maltech sent!! :)

you can go Mexico now, Al :)

Actually i do not see/handle any of the funds, which is pretty good, as now you are dealing direct with the guys at Maltech. :D

One question, why is the "November Special" on nissansilvia.com only $340 including postage? yet here it is $345 + P&H ?

;) Just hate it when it is time to produce funds and people post 5hit like that above, without finding out the facts first. :cheers: FFS! the last i looked Skylines did not use the same brakes, suspension, etc as a Silvia. These are a far superiour engineered cars, if you want to fit Silvia lines on your 34, buy it from there. But Skylines use a 2 piece hose and a divider block for the front lines, hence extra manufacturing cost.

If you want to be petty, take it up with Steve at Maltech, i have organized this buy for the interest of the club, have nothing to personally gain, as i have already got my set 3 months ago, without the discount.

If you had simply compared the two RRP's you could have seen that Skyline lines are $430rrp and Silvia lines are $405rrp. Thus there is a $25 price differance and here you are only paying $11 extra.

Al, it's not the money I care about... I just asked a question why the prices were different for what I thought were a similar designed product. lighten up dude...

Al, it's not the money I care about... I just asked a question why the prices were different for what I thought were a similar designed product. I also was in no way implying you were benefiting from this group buy. lighten up dude...

YoooHoooo....Got mine on Friday and fitted up and bled no problem.These lines are exactly the same as stock lines with the brass block in them.

Al is 100% right on the fact that the Skyline lines are more costly to make with the additional block and extra swedgings(spelling). You can notice the differance immediately when you stand on the brakes...much harder pedal. I think my rubber lines must have been soft after 10 years.

Thanks Al for setting up the fantastic Group Buy and thanks Steve (Maltech) for being so quick with the lines and supply.

I know everyone that buys these lines will be happy with them

Thanks again Al

Ian

    • 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?
