Update: R32 bushes

Sorry guys, ive been in contact with Noltec for about a week regarding their stock of r32 bushes. I rang over a week ago asking if they had any in stock, and they only had 2 sets. They told me the next run would be last friday - which didnt come in.

I rang again today (interstate calls for me yay!) and the guy tells me that Noltec themselves ran out of crush tubes, so the place that makes the bush couldnt make any....

The guy there is trying to track me down at least 5 sets for you first 5 guys, and hopefully ringing me back today with good news.

Im pushing them to make more dont worry...

sorry guys, its been out of my hands but hopefully we should see some soon. Thought i better let you guys what the deal was.

Thanks for the update mate. I haven't started my suspension make-over yet but will most probably be cracking into it at the end of this month, do you think its possible we'll recieve the bushes by then Darren? I'm in the 2nd buy.

Just spoke to Noltec then.

Next shipment will not be in until a week and a half from now. This means i cant order anything until they have more stock in im afraid. :)

Its out of my hands, sorry guys. This happened with the r33 gb (same bushes). Las time they told me same thing, and 5 days later they had them...

Just got a list here of the people waiting for these damn bushes...

If u have paid, and cant see your name on the list, please let me know asap, and i'll add you. Im ordering all bushes at once now, (due to the delay of supplies) so everyone should have them around the same time

List:

thanks guys for being patient. I have spoke to Noltec, and stock will be in THIS FRIDAY >_<:D

I have spoken to Noltec, and i will be doing rear camber kits, caster kits (std or adjustable), and front camber kits.

I'll need 5 or more kits to get big discounts again, but as for anything else off their catalogue, ask me and i can get 20% off their RRP.

thanks for the upate mate. sterling work :)

personally i think you should break some balls a little over there as they are taking their sweet time. my subframe has been out and back in already now but i'd still like to get them asap. any word on why it's been so long between payment/order and delivery?

but again, top effort mate ;)

but again, top effort mate :banana:

Noltec seem to run out of stock before they decide to even have new ones made to restock themselves. I asked why it was taking so long at one point, and they commented they ran out of srush tubes, so they couldnt even supply their suppliers with the parts needed to make these :)

how far away do u think those other group buys are gonna take?

ud think with all the business ur drumming up for them theyd giddy up abit.

yer well that must come down to the fact im a new supplier, and they are just starting to realise i can move a bit of stuff...im almost on a first name basis now with the guys there, so its basically building a business rep if u like. They prolly trust me now if i say i want 10 kits, they will trry to pull a finger...

Future orders should happen faster is the main thing.

I really wanna finish this one before i go ahead and do another one. Its too time consuming for me, especially when i dont make a profit on any of this.

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
