Hi guys, doing another metalcat group buy over at aus300zx.com so wondering if anyone here is interested? The only size I can do at the moment is 3.5" due to limited stock coming over from the US. Also due to complications with the last GB i ran metalcat no longer offer a flanged (bolt on) version of the cat, only unflanged. This is an easy job for your exhaust shop or you may wish to weld straight to dump pipes to eliminate weight (flanges are heavy) and potential leaks. Hopefully you all know these cats and have seen the ads in Zoom etc Features Polished Stainless Steel Construction Unique 200 cell design EPA and CARB compliant with numbers stamped onto the body of the cat Street Legal Outflows the competition Price: $300 including delivery anywhere in AUS Stock Availability: At the moment there are 50 cats on their way from the US via air-freight so they should be available by the end of October Timegrame for Group Buy: Cutoff date will either be when the cats land or when I get 7 buyers, whatever happens first Supplier: I'm buying direct from the AUS importer PSI Please PM me to confirm an order, i will need 100% of the money upfront so please feel free to ask for any details phone number/address/etc

Thanks guys! I've pm'd Gel to see if I can get some more info. I've also PM'd prank and abo-bob. Starting to look like the guy is located in sydney after all as I ran his BSB through a website here http://www.caughtatwork.com.au/ebay/bsb/index.php and his bank is in kogarah. Also gel who did the pickup is in Sydney. How does one trace an ISP? I've made a report to crimestoppers but I can't see that going anywhere fast unless I can provide some more info. redevil what do you know? Can you PM me any info? Yeah it's a prick of a thing, I've done heaps of trades etc on aus300zx.com without any problems, thought I'd done all the right things checking trader rating for comments etc.... Thanks for the help guys guess we'll have to see how it goes.

Hey SHWPNY your profile http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/m35279.html shows you have been online since my last post and PM and still no contact?

I tried clicking their user name and I get a 404 page http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/{i...}showuser=18852 -does that mean gel is no longer a user?

Hi guys, bit of a long shot but form member SHWPNY seems to have dropped off the face of the earth after I transferred him $1000 for some parts in the for sale section. The ad said parts were located in QLD so just wondering if anyone on here knows him? The bank account was in the name of Nazar Masri. Would prefer to get this resolved amicably and I really do hope I'm jumping to conclusions but after two weeks the guy isn't returning PMs, SMS, or phone calls so any help getting in contact would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Oh here's a link to the ad http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/t182279.html

Hey Nazar, still waiting on the calipers you sent on 17/9. Posting in the thread as you haven't responded to my PM sent 27/9 and your phone goes straight to an anonymous voicemail. I'm hoping it's just a case of you being slack with the postage and nothing more, please let me know via post or PM what date they were sent and who they were sent with. Thanks

Just a reminder this is happening this coming saturday, the more cars the better! John will have the BBQ out and UAS will be offering a 10% discount on all items in store for purchases made on the day.

Good to see some interest over here! Looks like there will be a few zeds there, looking forward to seeing ron/wizard's new motor in action... Abo Bob I'm pretty sure ports will be there later in the day.

Hi guys, just dropping in from aus300zx.com forums to let you know we're having a dyno day at UAS in Seven Hills, Sydney, on Saturday 29th September. Feel free to drop on by, the more modified Nissans the better and a little rivalry never hurt anyone.... Here's the link to the thread on aus300 http://www.aus300zx.com/forum/showthread.php?t=265422, BYO cardigans... :laughing-smiley-014:

let you know mate, checking it out for you as we speak

For anyone doing a complete HICAS removal, so lines etc from the engine back, the brace can be supplied without any fittings for $135.

Hi guys, just putting up an EOI to see if anyone would be interested in a group buy on Chrome Molly HICAS removal braces from UAS in Sydney. I'm doing this on the aus300zx forum but the part is also available for GTR so wondering if anyone here is interested? These are extremely strong and lightweight, no bling but at approximately half the weight of topspeed/tuneagent/etc billet braces they are very functional. The original thread can be viewed here http://www.aus300zx.com/forum/showthread.php?t=257564 Here's the blurb from UAS: UAS HICAS REMOVAL BRACE TIG WELDED CHROME MOLLY STEEL. VERY STRONG AND VERY LIGHT AT AROUND 850 GRAMS. REMOVE YOUR EXISTING HEAVY TROUBLESOME FACTORY HYDRAULIC OR ELECTRIC REAR STEERING RACK. Details Price: $150 with all hydraulic fittings and instructions supplied. This would be cheaper for those removing all of the factory HICAS lines as you would only require the brace. Freight: Freight for these would be $15 anywhere in Australia Timeframe: Aiming to run this for the duration of february as there are quite a few GBs on at the moment and everyone including me needs to recover So who's interested?? Minimum buy is five which I'd imagine we'll get easily from Looking at what I need to buy next to try finish my car off, wondering if anyone else is interested in purchasing a lightweight chrome molly HICAS brace? They are extremely strong and very light, weighing in at just 850g and less than half of what the tuneagent/topspeed/etc billet braces weigh.

Guys, everyones cats have been posted as of today (with the exception of 3.5" bolt ons that have been discussed with the buyers). As I have said in posts and PM's EVERYONE WHO IS STILL WAITING HAS MY PHONE NUMBER, please use it rather than posting here as I have told you time and time again I probably will not see the posts.

Yes F54 block is what you want I think. Lots of goof info on OZDAT forums

Hi mate, are you aware that you'll need a spacer to use the 240sx TB with the factory throttle linkage (assuming you use the 280zx linkage and manifold)? There's a guy on www.zcar.com user id pallnet that makes the spacers out of lexcan, does a good job. He also builds custom fuel rails, most of the guys on the US forum use 13B injectors in the L28ET's, probably a good option for you too? Also I wouldn't worry too much about ECU, you can get fuel-only type unit (cause you'll be using your old electronic dizzy so no spark control anyway) pretty cheap. I used a haltech when I EFI'd my 260z, pretty ancient computer but did the job and alot less risky than buying an old stock ECU from US and hoping it all works.

Hi everyone, this is some new news since sending out all of the PM's last night. I just had an email from the supplier saying that they now have bolt ons back from welding and are packing everything for freight. I should have them all by the end of the week, although given the problems already experienced don't hold your breath... Anyways just another update trying to keep all informed, will copy this information to PM when I have a little more free time.

More news, the cats are at TNT awaiting redilvery. I wasn't home when they came yesterday so gotta get them brought out again monday (soonest possible time) with the signed card etc I'll be able to package monday night and send out tuesday morning. I'll post on tuesday to confirm cats have been sent

More info, just received an email confirming despatch and have the con note number. Coming through TNT again so assuming they don't f**k up and send it back to QLD again I should be posting again on wednesday to confirm they've been received. Can anyone who's still waiting pls PM me your address. I have a postal address for most if not all of you but if you can please confirm via PM then it's one less potential holdup. Thanx

Hi guys, yes as adam posted after more calls I have been told the cats were sent yesterday and I should have wednesday. Again apologies for the delays but there is nothing I can do about it. I'm dealing direct with the only australian importer of metalcats so we're in the same boat as everyone else who's after these products. Everyone still waiting has been given my phone number please free to use it as I know I have not been on the forum alot lately. Also feel free to contact PSI if you want to confirm the situation their details are listed on the website here http://www.psiproducts.com.au/

Hi josh, just sent you a PM

Next batch that yours are with are still on way. Your cat has been ordered and paid for but just waiting for the welders to hurry up and then they will all get sent to me at once.

Yep sure did thankyou! Have PM'd response

Hi mate thought I'd replied to this one but can't find in the thread. Still with welder, I will keep checking daily and keep you informed

Check your PM I think we misunderstood the next step. Have your cat here, I've PMd my phone number to you, probably easier to sort it out on the phone!

Slippery your has been sent, must be on the way
