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

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 ;)

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.

    • Man that dinner was such a long time ago....2010! I would only replace the rubber coolant lines with silicone these days; cheap, readily available and will last for ever. You will need new hose clamps though eg https://justjap.com/products/cooling-pro-silicone-engine-heater-hose-set-black-nissan-r32-gtr-rb26dett
    • I wouldn't look too hard at what they did with the R32 GTR in endurance racing in Australia... Lots of things weren't actually available from the factory in the way those cars ran them... Japan also followed what Fred Gibson was doing here with some of there endurance cars in Japan... Australia is also the reason for things like the Brembo brakes, and the change in the gearbox... And quite a few other tricks they used to pull. There's a few other SAU peeps still on these forums that will have heard the stories direct from Alan Heaphy, Fred Gibson, and Jim Richards when we were lucky enough to have a great dinner with them
    • For all the talk of "these parts are junk" I generally recommend OEM because it's really not as bad as claimed. I have never seen or heard of a case like the N63 where the oil returns completely clog with coked oil for example in ~10 years or less. Would it be nice if it were a straighter path? I guess, but most modern cars use a scavenge pump instead of a pure gravity return. Also the factory lines that would be relatively simple to convert to braided are generally speaking hardlines from the factory. I would consider braided line to be a regression, not an improvement. It's also been engineered such that all the hardlines have appropriate strain relief where needed. There's absolutely room for improvement, for example the HKS advantage heritage intake piping shows just how much can be done to make the turbos fight each other less in OEM twin turbo configuration and reduce compressor surge but it's rarely a simple/straightforward process. I recommend looking at what the group A/N1 cars did, generally speaking the changes they made were necessary and proven in endurance racing.
    • Yes, multi relays needed, and possibly a diode. I'm not actually going to think about it though.
