Wow, are these actually used? Forgot to pop them in the progress thread and actually had forgotten that I bought them. Just need to find a DIY install thread for these and then when my BC's arrive I'll be slamming the front :bounce:

FEDEX dropped these babies off, the funniest wrapping I've ever seen! :kicking:

Some potenza 50's on them but not for long... :bounce:

funny you ask.. .was told they are on their way but still waiting for the tracking number ,wouldnt hold my breath I can get them on soon enough... had made next week pretty free but seem to be filling up again... If I get them early next week I should be able to wack them in pretty quickly, need to find a good tuning place closeby that can give me some nice settings on the camber afterwards :bounce:

Who are you planning to order them from?

Not sure where to get mine - MWtech offered me a very good price, but dont offer fitting/geometry. Abbey sell at normal price but can fit and do geometry (extra of course). If I buy from one place and get someone else to fit; and there is a problem later on, then it could potentially get difficult with the blame being passed etc

Need to do soon though, as I just replaced my rears (got rid of those god-forsaken run flats!!!) and my camber is way out, so I dont want to knacker new rubber and dont want to pay to have geometry done twice etc

Ya mate, based in Cork. Rarely get upto Mondello to be honest, so have never tracked her. Mind you i would love to go back to the Ring but with the 350z this time. Good to have another irish member on board, we used to have a god few active posters on here from Ireland but now it's only myself. :welcometonissansportz:

I know one more fella thats in the south, there's a few up north but nothing really happening with them... I'd say the tax band and insurance keeps EIRE owners away :welcometonissansportz:

Well go stuck in with the diff LSD project, started a bit to late really after finding a vice and bolting that down to the ground...after a lot of effort I got this far with it: (will give it another go and if it doesn't work I'll call it quits and drop it off to a garage) (can't get one of the 'cups' 'axes' off)

Loving the progress so far mate! SLICKS!!!!! AWESOME MATE! Good job on the diy diff aswell. The ring bolts are b**** to get out mate because I think they have thread lock on from the factory! BIG breaker bar and lots of shouting should do the trick!

:tumbleweed: Not much happening here finally got the diff shafts from an open diff! They should be on their way from the states, the weather is poor so only looking at the stuff I still have to fit, should buy a gazebo really...
