Jamex also delivered the wrong shocks to me the same as SKYKC. As instructed I sent them back, but Jamex refused to accept them.

I guess its buyer beware.

Having paid my money over 2 months ago I am not impressed with this group buy.

I dont know the name of the person I am dealing with - except its 'Gary'. I have been asked to send money to a company Jamex that does not want to identify itself.

I cant really complain as dealing in this manner is asking for trouble and thats what I have.

I urge others to be very careful when dealing in this manner. I accept that others have had great success and given great feedback.

I ordered my front and rear sway bars and front adjustable castor yesterday - lets hope payment was received :happy:

I just got quoted $742 from my local Fulcrum store. I didnt think it'd be that much to install the whole kit with an alignment. Who else should I try?

Just for clarification, I have spoken to David on the phone and sorted the confusion out. He should have his shocks on Tuesday.

:) cheers :(

ouch!! i take it that includes them assembling the shocks too? anyone else care to share how much they paid for installation?

cheers.

$700 is very very steep.

myself and a mate did the springs + shocks along with the pineapples ourselves. it took us a lazy 3 hours. i'm sure most of the users on this forum would have the basic socket, spanner, trolley jack, shifting spanner, axle stands etc. definately something that you could save money on.

most workshops want the car for at minimum the whole day so that they can work on the car between every little job. to me that's more hassle than its worth - since id rather do it myself than wait around for the entire day without a car.

i am still waiting on my front camber bushes which wasnt included in my delivery from jamex and will need a press to get the rest of the babies in. *any idea where the wednesday/thursday delivery is happening gary?

##I got a quate from East Coast Suspensions as followes, is that the normal price for installation?

*To fit your springs & shocks , plus front camber & caster kit would cost $450.00.

*To fit the rear camber kit to the upper outer pivot points (ie. in the

upright would cost an additional $135.00.

*For Front & rear wheel alignment ( full adjust ) is $165.00.

So All up to $750

##St George quate for the above for $893

##Nismo quate me $350 for shock installation $400 for caster and camber installation, and $88 for wheel alignment.so all up to $838

##Pedders quate me $450 just to install the shocks,,,I didnt ask for the rest hehehe.

You are looking at around one full day to do everything, so around $400 should cover it.

don't know if this still applies - but i guess it's a good figure to work around

They were hard to track down, found them yesterday. I should have them tonight and send them to you tomorrow. I will PM you the con note number as soon as I have it.

Did you order via email or PM? If email, then the response would have gone out by email.

:) cheers :kiss:

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
