hungryGTR

Hey bud email me some pics and depending what the flaw is i might be able to get you a free replacement :-) Personally ive made mine in the car for 2.5 years with a heelpad and havent even cleaned them since new and they still look brand new besides the dust and pebbles from my shoes etc.

It is but generally its quite pricey compared to a full set. Might just be worth getting a full set again and having a few spares if you like? Otherwise from memory its about $60 for one and $100 for a front pair posted.

Hey guys ill be doing another group buy starting very early Jan and have it open for 2 weeks. I was planning on doing it a lot earlier however im doing a groupbuy of bodykits and that has taken heaps of hours of organisation. The main advantage of the groupbuy is that custom stuff can be achieved "like we got the GTR logo" or get models in that they dont do like i got A70 mats. Also the big draw car is the offer the full range of colours for a groupbuy. So if people even now want to start a list im happy for that to happen and the closing date for the groupbuy will be MID JAN. Hope that helps :-)

Ill just cut and paste the post i just made for the supra forums: Just heard back from matcraft, dont really know whats taking so long as they didnt give an explanation however they will be sending it too me mid to late this week. Again the initial delay was on my end with the laptop bullshit business however i sent payment and the order through some time ago and considering it only 11 or 12 sets and 3-4 tunnel mats to make up for last groupbuy its take more than i would have thought. Its possible that they had a heap of orders mounting up whilst on holidays and are just clearing through it however they did say we would get priority and would get them out ASAP. So yeah payment and order details have been sent sometime ago and now its just be a wait until they rock up to me. Ill verify everything is as it should be when i receive them all and post them off same day. As for another groupbuy i want to get back to where i was mid November before i take on the responsubility again. Shouldnt be that long off however this groupbuy went horribly wrong from the moment i decided a new laptop would free me up more and allow me to be more efficient and thus help people with floor mats and leather seat covers. As we have found out its been the total opposite and one massive headache for me but once everything is back to normal would all be sweet. Again its very unsual for me to not communicate like has happened with this groupbuy as normally i have a daily routine of visiting multiple forums each night so normally im on the ball with communiccation. This groupbuy because of what happened left me feeling really fustrated considering i like to keep people informed so they dont worry about their money and know whats happening with their product. That and i like staying ontop of things, so as stated from the previous groupbuy guys its out of character for me due to physically not having a computer of any sort (wish US postal was a physical being then i would punch it in the back of its head). Also i dont like making up excuses as normally when that starts to happen in groupbuys or internet transactions it means something dodgey is going on and the risk of getting scammed goes up considerably. So ill be posting pics up soon to prove i genuinely got arse raped by US postal. Kinda such having to convey something over the net yet having not net and i was stressing people would have thought i had dissappeared for good or somethign similar. Anyway it was kind of luck that the order was one of the smallest and i think it only effected 4 guys from supraforums, 3-4 from SAU and 4-5 from soarercentral.com With any luck i get a consignment and tracking number from matcraft within the next few days and then it shouldnt be long after then. Again apologies to everyone in this groupbuy, even though the delays were out of my control i always feel personally responsible for any delay and these should have been in everyones hands around 3-4 weeks ago. Also to the guys with PMs ill get to them tomorrow as ive been having massive headaches for the last few days and really need to hit the hay as i feel like throwing up. But tomorrow every single PM will be replied to. Cheers -Dave-

Hey guys been missing for a while now which ill explain later but more importantly ill get to the stuff that really matters. To all those who have paid your mats will start arriving from next Friday so those in SA and VIC. The rest will start rocking up the Monday after that. I haven’t yet gone through PMs or posts but have worked my way through all the emails. Ill be working on getting through the PMs and posts in the next few days aswell as explaining what caused the delay and my absence for so long. Cheers -Dave- In short what happened is: old laptop was dying 1.5 weeks before the end of the groupbuy, order a tablet PC from the US, laptop arrived 1 week later but i wasnt home to take delivery, douche bag delivering it threw it over a 2 metre fence so he wouldt have to redeliver it, Aust post and US postal f**ked me around, was sent to HP were they f**ked around assessing damage and replacing the screen, got it back semi fixed around the 15th of December, great timing as it was around the time matcraft was closing down for the XMAS break, ive been f**king around trying to get through the pile of stuff that amount from not having a computer of any sort for over a 1month which hasnt been fun whilst juggling a million other things. Thats pretty much it and also mucking around with my new job to keep them happy.

Hi guys i was expecting a shit storm as to whats going on with this groupbuy buy so i wont piss around. To get to the point a over a month ago my old laptop was dying and died so i thought to make things quicker/easier for myself and groupbuy communication i would buy a new laptop. All seemed good and it was suppose to arrive well before the end date of the groupbuy. Well it arrived no worries however the f**ken post man couldn’t be stuffed leaving it at the post office as i wasn’t home and threw it over my side gate which is 2 metres! Same dude never deliveried my new coilpacks for 2 weeks until i chased it up and he left the last order of floor mats at the front of my house unattended for the whole day! So the laptop smashed and Australia post wanted HP to assess the damage. So HP got the laptop and had it sent to Sydney without my knowledge. It has taken over 3 weeks for it to come back to me. I never gave them permission to sent it anywhere, they were suppose to assess the damage and give a dollar figure to the insurance company that was dealing with my claim. Most probably because it is a tablet laptop for it been sent to Sydney but thats beside the point. So i got it back a few days ago, its working and im here just to inform you guys that i will be working through the back log of emails, orders, questions etc from the last 4 week and more. So yeah just so you guys are in the know, i will get cracking right now to start on the pile. Sorry about the inconvenience , its been hard to get a hold of the net to let you guys know whats been going on. I let the supra guys know that i was getting a new laptop as the old girl was dying and once she let go ive been dealing with this bullshit with Australia post. So yeah it should take me most of the weekend but ill get everything up to date. Again nothing i could do, i apoligise for the lack of info of what was going on and about delay in getting you what you have paid for. Cheers for your understanding and im off to get cracking on this pile. Cheers -Dave-

Hey mate they can only do it if someone lends a stock set to them, there has been talk of someone lending a set but yeah i still havent heard back from them. Also ill extend this groupbuy for an extra week as ive been left with no internet after my old laptop died so i bought a new one and am working my way through the pile of stuff that has amounted. Cheers -Dave-

Hey mate that is available at $100 including postage.

Yeah mate i got it, cheers.

Hey mate yeah they stick very well, cant remember if it was someone off here or the supraforums (have a feeling it was someone from here with a GTR) that said they dont move. Personally i did a groupbuy some time ago that had a foam backing and i didnt rate it so i told the factory to go back to a crushed rubber backing. So these and the ones in the last groupbuy had/have a crushed rubber backing which grips really well and then using the clip hole your all set of it to stay in one place. If you like have a read of the last 2 pages of the previous groupbuy as im sure the comment was made there by someone that go a set. But yeah my personal set doesnt budge and i know other people have found them very secure with the crushed rubber backing. Hope that helps

Hey mat i would like to get payment at the same time an order is palced. So if you have placed an order could you please pay now. This was a problem before where orders were sent but not paid for and resulted in me been $130 out of pocket from my own cash which suchs after the work i do to help people out.

Gtir-keiron- if you need the guy that ripped off your mate i can get it for you. He is currently selling his piece of shit Varetta S15 on carsales.com.au Just look out for the gay purple one with huge chromies.

Yeah mate i will be fixing up the 7 people affected in the last group buy with not getting a tunnel mat for their r32 or r33. Im getting the factory to make a template of a tunnel mate generously lended by a follow SAU member. Although ive only had 2 people ask for where their tunnel mat is at ill be getting one to everyone person that got a set of r32 or r33 mats last groupbuy. Only thing is ill need to get $5 to cover postage and ill send it out with the order of the second group buy. Again its not my fault that the factory didnt have a tunnel mat however as i didnt know myself i feel obliged to get it for everyone to forefil what i had promised. Cheers -Dave-

Anytime now mate is fine. Just email me at [email protected] saying you have sent $5 and just your name.

Thats a good question and one of the main resaons another groupbuy is being done. As all the r32 and r33 guys from the previous group buy know they didnt get a tunnel mat (it affected around 7 people) as matcraft only had a template without the tunnel mat. So once i found out that there is a stock tunnel mat ive asked a member of here if we can borrow his to make a template from. So yeah matcraft will be making a template so this groupbuy and future groupbuys will get a full 5 piece set including a tunnel mat. At the same time this order is placed ill be fixing all the r32 and r33 orders that didnt get a tunnel mat from the previous groupbuy free of charge obviously. Only thing i would need is $5 to cover postage. The way i figure it the tunnel mat isnt essential right for people to receive right now so ill get them all sent over with this groupbuy otherwise we would need to pay additional freight costs to get them sooner. But im sure people are cool with receiving them in a months time? Sound good?

Ok so a few more things, firstly can people that ordered mats please post up photos if possible f the future benefit of members to make up their mind if they are interested or colour choice etc Secondly does anyone know if the r32 and r33 factory mats came with a tunnel mat? Lastly if anyone has received floor mats that they werent supposes to and didnt pay for could you please let me know. From what i can gather there is 1 person that sent me details however never made payment and i ended up forking the post out of my own pocket to make everyones order sent out on time. It might not be someone on this forum but yeah if you received something you werent meant to can you please let me know as it will save me heaps of time backtracking through records. Cheers -Dave-

Hey mate cheers for the kind words. Yeah they are awesome as the company makes the mats for dealerships so they have to be a perfect fit with no compromise on the quality and i must say their quality is second to none. Coupled with me having done 4 group buys with around 140 sets of mats they will always offer me the best price to pass onto you guys and at $130 for the high spec version including postage im also shocked at what they deliver for the price. No wonder 300zx.com.au can get away selling them for $395 Once youve cleaned the interior post up some pics, would be great to see how they look inside different cars. Oh yeah and couldnt tell if you were been sarcastic about them been packaged well just if you can let me know if you were happy or not that would be great. Damn internet and trying to detect sarcasm haha Yeah ill be getting onto the tunnel mats shortly. Also dont know what your talking about so get a pic up and ill see if i can help you. Yeah ill get to that at the very bottom of this post. Yeah not sure what you mean, if your talking about fitting it in between the bottom of the rear seats and the bottom of the centre arm rest i too thought they wouldnt fit on my Soarer. What you have to do is put the back of the tunnel mat against the bottom of the rear seats and then slightly curl the tunnel mat and then but it in at the bottom of the central arm rest thing. Have a play around with it as i too thought mine would never go in and were not the correct shape but yeah they pop in nicely for a snug fit so you cant see any of the floor carpet and the tunnel mat doesnt slide around. Let me know if that helps or if your talking about something else all together. Hey mat ill be making a new thread/groupbuy in the next day or two and then ill be able to take your order. Yeah thats what i do these groupbuys as normally i just do a groupbuy once to get what i need and help out a few others and be done with it. But yeah as they know me, i know the details and how good they are this is the only groupbuy that ill keep doing multiple times for aslong as i can. Awesome price and there isnt anything like this on the market so im happy to help out others than normally wouldnt have the possibility of getting them. Yeah i dont know they dont photograph too well but look 1000 times better in real life. Well the ones that ELZ got are meant for a GT-T and not a GTR. So as they are taken off a template from stock GT-T mats they would be a perfect fit, but by the looks of things ELZ's gamble paid off as they look like a mint fit for the GTR. Yeah i must say they look sick, first ive seen with the GTR logo and look like a flawless fit even though there meant for a GT-T. Always nice when a gamble pays off, and pays off this well Yeah mate i PM'd you yesterday if you havent already checked or havent logged in yet to check.

Hey guys ive been up all night visiting my folks at the hospital and also the last few days. Anyway im about to have a snooze now but later tonight ill go through whatever emails and questions there are. Cheers -Dave-

Hey guys ill give a proper reply hopefully tomorrow, really need to go to sleep as i have an interview at 7am. Then next time im on ill sort out any dramas.

Hey mate can you ask if they can do any parts for Soarers? Pretty please

Yeah no worries mate, turned out sweet as he only lived a suburb away from you and the other guy. Also if people would be so kind as to rate my trader rating and add a comment that would be much appreciated as it will help out others when i do other groupbuys.

So good news guys i was right about getting them today rather than the 19th as the ETA would suggest. Anyway got them all at around 3pm today and posted them off straight away. So SA people should get theirs Monday, VIC/NSW around Wednesday, QLD/TAS around Friday. Two guys in WA will have their mats dropped off soon to their door by someone from the supraforums as Australia post was too lazy to read the addresses and assumed that because the packages looked the same they were meant for one address. The remaining WA people should have got theirs by now and if they could confirm getting them that would be appreciated so i can mark you down as received. Cheers -Dave-

Cool thats for the kind words mate and for the support. Turns out Australia post dropped off 3 sets to one guys address in WA because they all looked the same they thought it was for one address. Anyway he will be dropping them off i think tomorrow to the people it effect, so thanks to hoot on the supraforums for fixing Australia Posts error. If you dont mind post up some pics as i havent seen R34 mats before, interior shots would be sweet aswell
