I ordered mats from matcraft directly as the group buy was a bit 'limited' in what you could have on them.

Just an idea if people want to order it themselves. I got them really quick from once payment had cleared.

Hey guys ill be doing another group buy starting very early Jan and have it open for 2 weeks. I was planning on doing it a lot earlier however im doing a groupbuy of bodykits and that has taken heaps of hours of organisation. The main advantage of the groupbuy is that custom stuff can be achieved "like we got the GTR logo" or get models in that they dont do like i got A70 mats. Also the big draw car is the offer the full range of colours for a groupbuy. So if people even now want to start a list im happy for that to happen and the closing date for the groupbuy will be MID JAN. Hope that helps :-)

hey buddy,

bit of a strange request but i purchased a set off the original gb, is it possible to buy 1 or just 2 mats (fronts) instead of the whole set?

It is but generally its quite pricey compared to a full set. Might just be worth getting a full set again and having a few spares if you like? Otherwise from memory its about $60 for one and $100 for a front pair posted.

 

I do believe that the group buys are off until OP gets his business sorted.

How is everyone finding the mats?

Personally my heel wore through the heel pad in the first 2 months and I had to cut it off to stop my foot getting stuck, would recommend just getting the plain mat.

Hey bud email me some pics and depending what the flaw is i might be able to get you a free replacement :-) Personally ive made mine in the car for 2.5 years with a heelpad and havent even cleaned them since new and they still look brand new besides the dust and pebbles from my shoes etc.

Also can someone tell me how i can change the forum view so its not a list of partial posts but like it was like a year ago? If you could PM me how to change this i would make it easier for me to reply and answer questions in a faster manner :-)

Actually dont worry ive sussed out the setting for the forum layout and now its back to normal. You guys can start a list for now and in the next few days ill start a brand new fresh thread and cut and paste the list from here. Thus people will not have to read tonnes of stuff plus will read the essential ordering format.

    • Hmm... From my experience you get about 0.25° camber change per mm of RUCA length change. So, to correct from -2.5 up to less than -1° (or, more than -1° if you look at the world as a mathematician does) then you'd be making 6-8mm of length change on the RUCA. From a stock length of 308mm, that's 2-2.5% difference in RUCA length. My RUCAs are currently very close to stock length - certainly only 2-3mm different from stock. I had to adjust my tension arms by 6mm to minimise the bump steer. That's 6mm out of 210, which is 2.8%. That's a 2.8% change on those, compared to a <1% change on the RUCAs. So the stock geometry already has worse bump steer than is possible - you can improve it even if you don't change the RUCA length. If you lengthen the RUCAs at all, then you will definitely be adding bump steer. Again, with my car, I recently had an unpleasant amount of bump steer, stemming from a number of things that happened one after another without me having an opportunity to correct for them. I only had to change the tension arm lengths by 1mm to minimise the resulting bump steer. (Granted, I also had to dial out a lot of extra toe-in in the rear, and excessive rear toe-in will make bump steer behaviour worse). Relatively tiny little adjustments having been made - the car is now completely different. Was horrifying how much it wanted to steer from the rear on any significant single wheel bump/dip. And it was even bad on expansion joints on long sweepers on freeway entry/exits, which are notionally hitting both rear wheels at the same time. My point is, the crappy Nissan multilink is quite sensitive to these things (unlike the very nice Toyota suspension!). And I think 99.75% of Skyline owners are blissfully ignorant of what they are driving around on. Sadly, it is a non-trivial exercise to set up to measure and correct bump steer. I am happy to show my rig, which involves nasty chunks of wood bolted to the hub, mirrors, lasers, graph paper targets and other horrors. Just in case anyone wants to see how it is done. I'll just have to set it up to take the photos.
    • What do you have in that bad boy ? Ill go with the 725cc since I'll be going with Nistune ( would definitely like more engine protection but Haltech is too far out of reach at the moment... plus, Ill probably have a pretty safe tune as its a daily, not gonna be chasing peak power 24/7 ahahah ). Are Xspurt a safe choice?  Pete's great. He didnt mention anything about traction arm length so I reckon it may be good. When I get some new wheels/tire later down the road I'll ask him about it and get his opinion on em. I heard from Gary that you've got the bilsteins too, are you running the sway bars too? and what other suspension goodies do you have installed or would recommend?
