The one you've been waiting for: Kazama GB!! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

1fasts13 · 03-28-2003, 03:18 AM

yes the buy is finally underway!! i know i know, took me long enough right?

Click here for a quick overview/info on how to join

basically this is what we are looking at:

Pillow tension rod

retail - $219
GB (10+) - $169

Super tie rod end

retail - $189
GB (10+) - $149

Rear upper arm series

please check the site cuz i'm too lazy to type that stuff out!!

already have a few guys in for both the pillow tension rod and the tie rod end, so i figure this buy should fill out quite fast!!

once i get the 10+ necessary for each category, i will start collecting payment info then. for now i am taking contact info etc so if you wish to join, please email me at: [email protected] and mention kazama GB in the title. please include your zilvia username, year/model of your car and the part you are interested in.

also its likely that i will extend the buy a lil longer than the date set on there now; when i set it up i just put down any arbitrary date so just kinda ignore it

happy shopping!!

95Blue240sx · 03-28-2003, 03:43 AM

w00t im #1 i just want the Pillow tension rod. i sent an email saying i want in. so yeah im in. thanks!

Dousan_PG · 03-28-2003, 10:37 AM

yo leo.
u know im down for the tierod endlinks already

people: get 10 on for that one so i can get it cheap.

glad to see the gb is up and running. sweetness.

Steeles · 03-28-2003, 11:07 AM

eight more Dousan Im in for the endlinks and the rear arms (both sets)

all for an S14!

Leo, the deposit that needs to be sent, should it be based off total order at the 10+ price or the 1-9?

**West** · 03-28-2003, 11:27 AM

Count me in for the Tie Rod Ends for s13.

Quick question, I know I should get some bumpsteer with the tie rods, but did anyone else notice a big increase in bumpsteer with the Cusco Tension Rod Bar? I know i need an alignment real bad, but that bar is giving me ridiculous amounts of bumpsteer. Thanks!

*sykikchimp* · 03-28-2003, 11:54 AM

Are those the Rear toe control rods, or the rear traction bars?

A ful set of rear bars would include:
Rear upper arm, Rear Toe control rod, and rear traction rod. Which is that?

Dousan_PG · 03-28-2003, 11:58 AM

its the rear traction arm
the one that is furthest back.

Bbandit · 03-28-2003, 12:18 PM

im in for the T/C rods!

b-s14 · 03-28-2003, 02:56 PM

are nismo tension rods any good..? if not... i guess i'll go with the kazaamaaa

Dousan_PG · 03-28-2003, 03:00 PM

get this. nismo is oem upgrades. this is racing spec type stuff.

b-s14 · 03-28-2003, 03:02 PM

btw, what is the difference between

pillow tension rods
super tie rod end

and the rear upper arm series...

Dousan_PG · 03-28-2003, 03:04 PM

tc rods go from chassis to Frotn lower control arm
tie rod ends go to end of tie rods
rear upper arms are rear for camber ajusting
rear toe links adjust rear toe

please do research before buying. these things HEAVILY affect your car's performance.
post in the chat forum under "kazama parts" if you have qs. try to keep this group buy CLEAN: as in: post if you want to be on list. less crap to sort thru. check that kazama thread i started if you want more info on these parts. i started it for a reason. most guys dont know where this stuff goes.

b-s14 · 03-28-2003, 04:45 PM

thanks dousan..

KyoLo · 03-28-2003, 08:42 PM

I'm in for both pillow tension rod and super tie rod endlinks.
And you've got mail.

FRpilot · 03-29-2003, 10:45 AM

is it me or does jdmspec's site not work anymore? i was trying to get on it yesterday after someone posted that they made a list of buyers but it wasn't working. i figured there were too many ppl tryin to get on at the time.. so i waited till this morning and today its not even loading at all.. its redirecting me to some xupiter page.

b-s14 · 03-29-2003, 11:33 AM

yeah last night it wasn't working. but now it seems to be functioning normally. i think it has some time set on it.

1fasts13 · 04-01-2003, 02:48 PM

alright it works!!!

ok just so u guys know i added the following also to the buy:

Subframe collar/spacer set

Tension rod bar

thanks

adey · 04-02-2003, 09:12 AM

Not that it isn't a good price already, but is there a possibility of the prices going down even further if we get more people on? It looks like the TC rods are pretty popular.

It'd serve as pretty good inscentive, I think.

1fasts13 · 04-02-2003, 11:24 PM

adey, i wish i can but the discounts were already based on the deepest they were willing to offer me if i were to pick up 10+ of each item. i was already surprised they even gave me any sort of discount!!

samiam · 04-05-2003, 06:02 PM

Hey 1fasts13, I sent you an email a while back thru the other website to get on w/ the kazama parts???? Let me know the next step or when you need the money or if I'm in on the group buy. - [email protected]

elgorey · 04-07-2003, 12:26 PM

just to confirm, the $169 for the tension control rod is for both, not $169 each, correct?

one more thing, what are the shipping estimates?

1fasts13 · 04-07-2003, 01:09 PM

a GB email has been sent to everyone.

yes price is 169 for a pair not each

shipping should be around 15-20 bux depending on location.

adey · 04-07-2003, 03:34 PM

I'm curious specifically for shipping to CA. Maybe you could ship dousan and my (hypothetical) stuff together to save on shipping costs? Where are you shipping out of?

1fasts13 · 04-07-2003, 04:37 PM

shipping wont be a whole lot because everything will clear customs in SF so shipping from there to LA should only be a few bux.....and actually aaron decided to go with something else instead of kazama :gulp:

adey · 04-08-2003, 03:12 AM

oops! awww, sorry about that little mix-up.

I was originally v. interested in this buy, but having just blown my radiator (needs replacing.

) I don't know if I'll have the funds.
Is this GB still ending on the 11th?

adey · 04-11-2003, 07:56 PM

Hey 1fastS13 - I emailed you (at the address specified on the website that you linked us to in your first post) but haven't heard back yet. Let us know what's up! I am ready to buy!

Tucker · 04-11-2003, 09:01 PM

I emailed the contact listed in the JDM Spec Performance website, but no reply yet either. Do I need to contact somebody else or something?

Dousan_PG · 04-11-2003, 09:08 PM

pm him
i talk with him almost everyday hahaha..he's cool as hell

adey · 04-12-2003, 12:56 AM

Maybe you could get him to respond to this thing and to get it going then!!

I'm kidding. I'll shoot him a PM. :thumbs up:

Kid Zelda · 04-12-2003, 11:45 PM

I also sent an email a few days ago.
1fasts13, send me a pm, thanks
