HEy everyone,

I can do a group buy on quickshifters and adjustable castor rods may also be coming up shortly. Just wanting to know what sort of interest there is to know whether it's worth doing a group buy for it.

Castor rods for what models? 33's?

Any idea on prices?

[Mase]

ok the shifters are dead replicas of genuine c's short shifters. Still waitin on confirmation for rb25 btu i know they can get them for rb20det 2 wheel drive. The 4 wheel boxes may be slighty different. I only quickly visited the company the other day to find out if they had anything more coming through and to buy some parts for my car. Will be back in by the end of the week to get more info. The adjustable castor rods are also copies of a particular brand which i can't remember. I'll find out by the end of the week though when i go back.

By the end of the week i will have group buy prices for the quick shifters but the castor rods are still in production etc so will be a small while yet.

I will be getting a quick shifter for myself so providing you are capable of driving a manual car with a heavy clutch your welcome to try my car if your in brisbane. I've had a fair bit of interest from the nissansilvia boys too so the quickshifter group buy will go ahead. Strutto i think they'll make them for all skyline models cuz i think they'd be silly not to. However, i haven't sussed it all out yet but i'll be in touch.

Thanks buddy,

Let us know once you find out more...

pardon my n00bness but what does a castor rod do?

[Mase]

an adjustable castor rod adjusts where your wheel is positioned. ie front or back in the wheel arch. It's apparently best to have both wheels forward at a reasonable position. Adjustable castor rods allow you to adjust the castor so the wheel can be moved back and forth. Does anybody have any more to add? I found out today that the castor rods will be available at the start of january so i'll bring it back up then when they come up due to the interest. I really need these also as mine is way out of align.

Quickshifters are available now for rb20det rwd at $240. Can post interstate and im sure postage will be under $10 for most places. Also available for s13, s14 and s15 ca and sr with the 5 speed box only. I will make a new thread in group buys now i have definate prices.

Anymore questions don't be afraid to pm me. Strutto will keep everyone posted on the castor rods.

thanks

Best way I've heard castor described is by thinking of a wheel on the end of a stick (like a measuring wheel)...

If the stick is upright, and you turn the stick whilst rolling the wheel forward, the resulting change in direction is very sharp.

If you lay the stick back towards you, and then turn the stick whilst rolling the wheel forward, the resulting change in direction is more controlled.

Adjusting the angle of the stick to the ground is what adjustable castor rods allow you to do....

got a rough price on the castor rods?

[RedDrifter]

Are the caster rods the type that have a adjustable arm. Ajust a nut and the rod becomes longer or shorter. Or are the the ones that have the adjustable bush?

[Mase]

still waiting on the castor rods, february is expected arrival now unfortunately.

[Willo]

Are the quickshift available for a 34 GTR and if so, how much?

[archie1]

I'd be interested in one for an R34 GTR if you can get them as well.

Unfortunately after speaking to the supplier who owns a gtr we found the shifters didn't make a noticeable enough difference to justify the money unfortunately.

noticable diff for a gtr?? or a gts??

any feedback on peeps who have bought one?? interested but cautious:D
