Group buy is on!

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/389161-superpro-group-buy-for-v35-skylines-and-m35-stageas/

Had to raise prices by a dollar or two each - forgot to factor in freight...

Anyone has any questions, please let me know.

I suppose SuperPro won't ship them direct but have to go via Adelaide?

It's not so much the extra few dollars in shipping plus the longer delivery time I'm concerned about - but more about the additional strain on the environment.

I know it's unlikely to kill a penguin (they're surprisingly resilient) but there's a fair chance a polar bear cub will get a nasty cough & I don't want that on my conscience.

Leon, at my work we make some of the worlds best respiratory steroid medications; So don't worry brah, I got that shit with the Polar Bear covered.:thumbsup:

Plus; you're keeping Pharmaceutical jobs in Australia.:whistling:

It seems to work out better on shipping if we do it that way Leon - freight is the same regardless of where it goes unless someone else picks them up.

If a polar bear has a nasty cough, then other animals will hear it coming, and will be able to run away. So think not about how we may give polar bears a cough, but more about how we're saving the penguins from polar bears!

Thanks Dale & Ryan. Both of you have put my mind at ease.

But gotta run; a family of peppered tree frogs has set up camp in my downpipe, & if I don't kill them they'll have me up all night.

Don't kill them...they are an endangered species. Just stop them getting in your downpipes!!! Check out http://www.environment.gov.au/cgi-bin/sprat/public/publicspecies.pl?taxon_id=1827.

All my downpipes are connected to a tank and I have gutter guard so nothing gets in. My pond has rare frog species so I let them live as they eat the flies, etc.

Lol, I've got a couple atm, and they seem to do is jump on my bare feet in the dark & scare the shite out of me. Send a couple down to my place; but only if they eat mozzies...

:rofl:

I don't reckon they'd survive the heat of the lower mountains....:whistling: but they definitely eat mozzies and don't jump onto your feet at night... Need some in the back garden as I suffer badly from mozzies..

Haha, no worries mate, they aren't really in my drain pipe . It was all part of a longer joke (read a few posts back about the coughing polar bear cub). I had to google endangered frogs in my area to come up with the peppered tree frog. I have no idea even what they look like.

Maybe it wasn't funny, but I thought it amusing that I might be concerned about shipping the suspension kits twice & thereby causing polution that could affect a polar animal, & then going out to kill an endangered frog. Obviously I'm easily amused....

I thought it was funny, but then you explained it.ermm.gif

I still wanna eat a Peppered Tree frog; but only because it's already seasoned...

Yeah, easiest way to ruin a decent joke is to explain it. May have to move this to the recipe chat thread, lol.

You know, because we're talking about eating peppered frogs and all.

D'oh, done it again.

Yeah it was somewhat sublime, but something happened to my little smiley which made it look like i was serious....:3some:

BTW, a polar bear cub is likely to starve first before it gets a cough due to the ice melting in the Arctic and being able to follow mum along to any blow hole for the next meal of seal.

If we can get away from wildlife for a sec Attenborough and friends, we have changed supplier for the group buy which has dropped the pricing on the SuperPro bushes and freight. So we can make sure no Polar Bears develop coughs. The new supplier is JDM Obsession, an SAU Trader.

Prices have been dropped to the following:

SPF2849K - $139.00

SPF3297K - $148.00

SPF3298K - $79.00

Freight is $12 shipped direct to you, or free if you pick up from me in Adelaide.

So go forth and spread the word, and order!

Nice work on the price reduction Ryan :thumbsup: . Are these still the same kits - just bought via a reseller?

Do they have you asked about a direct post deal or should I not complicate matters & get it shipped via you in SA?

(and not one mention of artic wildlife)

ahh, crap.

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
