Al,

I'm sorry, I'm going to have to pull out unless somebody wants to lend me the cash!

Bloody bill this this month and all my money is gone.  Plus I have to pay for the prototype AFM to TURBO duct some time this week.

BASS OUT

BASS,

Do you know what the AFM to Turbo Duct is going to cost ?

If so, I'll pay for mine in advance. Would that help ????

Fat.

Thanks for the offer, but I'm not sure exactly the cost of the ducts yet, and I don't want to take any money for them until they are prototyped and proven to fit all cars that I'm offering them for.

I think I should get slotted rotors before I get brake lines too.

Thanks again.

Hey Al, what's the latest?

I see that some people are now looking to pull out. Are we in danger of getting below 15 and this thing turning into a house of cards?

I didn't receive a PM from you on Friday either.

Any light you could shed would be greatly appreciated,

Adrian

Well this friday i will PM all interested parties and for those that want clutch lines i will let you know how much it will cost.

Friday is not a deadline as such.  On Friday i will post details of an account to transfer money into.  Once i have all payments i will buy a ticket to MEXICO :P.

doesnt seem to be going ahead. I contacted maltech myself and they verified the setup with AL but......

Been thinking about organising it myself but cos Im still a newbie and I dont have a trader rating - thought it might be 2 hard.

Any one out their that would want to take over this cos I am sure their are some people that would still want these products. I know I still do.

Give Al a chance. I think this group buy will still go ahead. I know he's been a busy boy.

I'll give him a call later and see if he needs me to take it over. I think he may be waiting for one or two more people as we are just short of the 15 ppl buy price.

I'll let you guys know............

money transferred and email to Maltech sent!! :)

you can go Mexico now, Al :)

Actually i do not see/handle any of the funds, which is pretty good, as now you are dealing direct with the guys at Maltech. :D

One question, why is the "November Special" on nissansilvia.com only $340 including postage? yet here it is $345 + P&H ?

;) Just hate it when it is time to produce funds and people post 5hit like that above, without finding out the facts first. :cheers: FFS! the last i looked Skylines did not use the same brakes, suspension, etc as a Silvia. These are a far superiour engineered cars, if you want to fit Silvia lines on your 34, buy it from there. But Skylines use a 2 piece hose and a divider block for the front lines, hence extra manufacturing cost.

If you want to be petty, take it up with Steve at Maltech, i have organized this buy for the interest of the club, have nothing to personally gain, as i have already got my set 3 months ago, without the discount.

If you had simply compared the two RRP's you could have seen that Skyline lines are $430rrp and Silvia lines are $405rrp. Thus there is a $25 price differance and here you are only paying $11 extra.

Al, it's not the money I care about... I just asked a question why the prices were different for what I thought were a similar designed product. lighten up dude...

Al, it's not the money I care about... I just asked a question why the prices were different for what I thought were a similar designed product. I also was in no way implying you were benefiting from this group buy. lighten up dude...

YoooHoooo....Got mine on Friday and fitted up and bled no problem.These lines are exactly the same as stock lines with the brass block in them.

Al is 100% right on the fact that the Skyline lines are more costly to make with the additional block and extra swedgings(spelling). You can notice the differance immediately when you stand on the brakes...much harder pedal. I think my rubber lines must have been soft after 10 years.

Thanks Al for setting up the fantastic Group Buy and thanks Steve (Maltech) for being so quick with the lines and supply.

I know everyone that buys these lines will be happy with them

Thanks again Al

Ian

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
