Having just seen this, I would also like to know if the R32 group buy is still open...

Also, has someone somewhere written a guide as to how to actually do the install? I mean I have read the posts in here about just cutting out the old ones, but I wouldn't mind more detailed instructions so I can get an idea of how hard it is to get to the 'cut out and replace' stage :O

Sorry guys been busy and havent updated thread.

Yes the r32 group is still open for you guys to get in on. I'll pm you details etc. If anyone else want them for r32 (or r34 as they take the same bush, but i cant see them needing these yet) let me know, and i can include you.

GTR and GTst use the same bush (same part number).

Installation would be how i described in the first post, but id have more of an idea when u pull out your subframe. Then its just a matter of cutting the old ones out and putting these in.

Havent seen any info on how-to's yet, maybe one of the guys here will post up a how to when they get thier kits.

I spoke to Noltec and it seems they hadnt received my payment for the r33 sets. They are double checking then sending out the items to me o/n so to the other guys you should be seeing them as soon as i get them. Sorry for the delays...

ok you 32 boys, get yourselves into gear. i've signed up and paid and really want to get these delivered and installed before i next am on track.

cool. I had closed the 32 buy though, but seeing as im still waiting for all payments to come in, i can still accept orders for now.

Guys who are waiting (and waiting) for the 33 items, there was some bs mix up frm the bank, where the money hadnt gone through, or something. Ive had to contact the bank and track ther payment etc so Noltec can send out the items. Noltec is getting pissed as i am, due to waiting for the damn banks...it should definitly be here this week!

Right finally got onto the bank today as they told me the payment should only take 3-4 days to go through for the 33 bushes.

I contact them today (after 7 days) to see what the hell is going on as Noltec havent received payment. They say oh theres been an error...-which they dont contact me to say, they just hang onto everyones money till i have to go into the bank to sort the damn thing out.

It has been sorted today, and the money has gone through. Noltec tell me the items are being shipped as of today, so i should receive them overnight. Which will mean i get the 33 bushes either Saturday (if the courier ships on sat) or Monday at the latest.

Sorry for holdups guys, its the banks farkups which was out of my hands. Freebaggin - i'll drop the bushes off to shaun for ya if you like, and ring you straight away to tell ya when hes got them so you can get your car in.

    • If the tyres were fitted when new, I wouldn't expect much over 5 years of use. Especially if the car lives outside full time.  If the tyres had been stored under ideal conditions and are being purchased new, I'd fit a set of already 5 year old tyres if I only expected to get 1 to 2 years of use out of them.  I've purchased many a set of new (but quite old) tyres from St George Tyres when I just needed some decent rear tyres to drift on.  Here is a pretty crazy example, can't say I've ever bought 11 year old tyres from them before though lol.  https://www.stgeorgetyres.com.au/momo-tyres-245-45-17-outrun-m3-official-product-by-momo-italy.html
    • Also, a tip for young players  Check the dates on new tyres before they fit them, I always ask this question at the tyre shop, as they have tried to put "new" tyres on one of my cars a few years ago, but the build date was about 3 years old
    • Yeah - 4 or 5 years is the limit for decent tyres. Pedestrian grade tyres with 400 TW ratings start out hard and don't start to suffer until they are somewhat older again. But the stickier decent stuff? Nup. My current ADO9s are < 2 yrs old, 17000km in, only have about the minimum 2mm of tread depth left, and they are.....not what they used to be. They are clearly much harder now than when new. Whether that is heat cycles (unlikely, for a road tyre), different compound between top and bottom of tread, or actually aging out (in less than 2 years!!!) is not really able to be discerned. But I'd credit actual aging as being at least part of the cause. I've got an old pair of ~50% worn AD08Rs in the shed that I really need to get rid of. They started feeling waaaay too hard to put back on the car after a couple of years sitting there.
    • Personally I wouldn't put tyres over 4 or 5 years old on any of my own cars. Once they go hard the grip characteristics completely change. As per most things it only matters in an accident and that's when you most want them to do their job!
    • I'm replacing the front tyres on the E39 tomorrow because one of them has a few gouges out of it. There is so much tread still on them but they're also 9 years old and the rubber is super hard.  This falls within the guidelines of 10 years old that I've read which surprises me given their condition.  I'm curious about whether you guys care about tyre age or just judge the tyre based on condition? How old would you consider too old?
