Is anyone else having delays with PDM? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

*Jeff240sx* · 08-22-2001, 09:13 AM

Right now, PDM is the only thing holding me back from the upgrade.  I have shot out 2 emails to him requesting the lines, and asking how to pay.
Possibly someone out there knows what the fastest way to get his attention is, and how I pay him.
Thanks

I too have had delays.  I sent him an email ordering some T/C rod bushings almost two weeks ago...and I finally decided to reorder yesterday.

*drifterx* · 08-22-2001, 10:34 AM

don is a good guy... i never bought anything before but when u ask him a question (he is not making money, just advise) he usually replies within a day
so i dont think he is like that....
also i noticed some sites has been bothered by the code red worm... this site has been also... so give him a call or something
i'm sure he will be happy to make money off you

**West** · 08-22-2001, 11:03 AM

Call his ass.

Don is a busy busy man.

*Jeff240sx* · 08-22-2001, 11:39 AM

LOL mark!
Drifter... he probably doesn't have a phone number on his site for a reason.

Anyway.. I just faxed him his own order form.. I hope to get my lines SOON!

I got a short shift kit from him, and the bushing on the end didn't fit.  I tried the swap the stock bushing after that, and it broke, so I had no car for 4 days.  Don gave no help.  He said it was my fault that the bushing was too big!!  He said I should sand it down!!

Has anyone ever heard of sanding down your new short shift kit?!

Anyways, I wasn't impressed with him and I won't be buying anything from him anymore.

*Jeff240sx* · 08-22-2001, 07:03 PM

Ok... well, I NEED these 300zx caliper fittings.  If not, I am out $450.  Anyone else know where to pick up these fittings if Don doesn't come around?!?

*Jeff240sx* · 08-22-2001, 11:35 PM

Ok...
Nevermind the previous posts.  I *just* recieved email from Don, and my lines will be out UPS tommorrow.  WOO-HOO!!!

Hey vancouvers14, I just installed my obx short shift kit yesterday and that was exactly what i had to do.  The plastic bushinbg isn't that big, it just doesn't have sort of a rounded bottom like the stock one.  Just sand the bottom edge down so it can have kinda like a rounded or pointed edge and give it a push and it will go in, guaranteed.

ditosx · 08-23-2001, 04:56 PM

oh and Don sent me my short shift kit the day after i faxed the order and got it 5 days after that.  It was very quick.

08-23-2001, 05:43 PM

I ended up getting a new bushing from nissan.  it was only $4.  My point is though, we shouldn't have to sand down a new aftermarket part.  If we have to do that, then it means that the part was manufactured incorrectly.

Besides, I don't want to sand down the part cause that may destroy its integrity.  No-one can sand perfectly evenly, and that means that you're gonna create a weak point.

08-23-2001, 05:45 PM

My other beef with Don is that he said that is was MY fault that the bushing didn't fit, and that I was obviously installing it wrong.  I'm not a professional mechanic, but duh, peg goes in the hole.  There isn't much to do wrong.

mrace240sx · 08-23-2001, 07:29 PM

Have any of you ordered one of the $40 strut tower bars? I am ready to send him an order for one but I was hoping somebody could vouch that it is a good product.
Thats seems awfully cheap, almost too good to be true.

HondakillaS14 · 08-24-2001, 01:26 PM

I myslef have e-mailed Don almost every day for the past two weeks asking questions about the Whiteline camber correction bushings along with all the other Whiteline stuff offered by Don and PDM, and every time was replied to, by him the very next day....so far I'm pleased with his efforts to maintain me as a possible customer.....as soon as those darn bushings are back in I should get them in a couple days after.....I hate backorder

I wish I could get the same treatment.  I've emailed him at least 5 times about those camber bushings plus some T/C rod bushings.  He replied to the first couple, but hasn't since.

08-24-2001, 02:41 PM

I wouldn't go with the Whiteline springs.  I've never seen a 240 with them.

HondakillaS14 · 08-25-2001, 02:41 PM

I wouldn't sugest not getting them just because you've never heard of a 240 going with them...it's just that they'rte are alot more popular brands out there that people buy....

and Lance, just keep trying man....I'm sure Don is a busy man with the more popular his site gets!!!....wouldn't give up on him just yet:)

*LanceS13* · 08-25-2001, 03:21 PM

I intend to Hondakilla...it's just getting a little frustrating since those bushings are the only thing keeping me from dropping my car.  I got over $700 worth of suspension components just looking pretty under my carport.:(
