Davis

[drift freaq]

ok 3 sets have been paid for already folks, this is coming together quickly. lets keep it moving.

[PhoebusApollo]

are these any specific brand? can you quote shipping to 21230?

[fbi_ethan]

im looking for TEIN fronts... do you have those? or just the ones in the pic?

[jdms14_silvia]

No Reply To My Question? Im Willing To Pick Up A Rear One

[drift freaq]

are these any specific brand? can you quote shipping to 21230?
They are the CTune ones that I used to sell in the past. Though I got an agreement to leave them unbranded.

[drift freaq]

No Reply To My Question? Im Willing To Pick Up A Rear One
they are currently sold in sets and no cutting that I know of is required. Please look at the picture. As far as I know there is no cutting required, though I do not own a S14. I am sure you would have a better idea than me based on looking at the pic and owning one.

[drift freaq]

im looking for TEIN fronts... do you have those? or just the ones in the pic?
This is a group buy for specific braces. I do not have TEIN. Sorry

[drift freaq]

oh by the way folks we now have 4 paid.

[silvia425]

when will these be shipped out?

[drift freaq]

when will these be shipped out?
they will ship at 10 purchases and at the rate that is going we are talking next week sometime.

[silvia425]

come on ppl this is a good deal going on here.

[deep in silvia]

any chance you will ever get this for the s13 ?

[oOdextaOo]

Do You Need To Do Any Cutting For The Rear To Go In??
i doubt it. these look similar to my cusco's and there's just a small slot for them to go through. when installing, unassemble the bar. so, put the strut tower mounts on first, then the bar that connects them in the middle.

anyways, free bump for sweet deal!

[drift freaq]

any chance you will ever get this for the s13 ?
actually they are available for the s13 but the last s13 group people got apathetic about it. So I stopped doing group buys for the s13. If you want I can get you a s13 set.

[SilviaSR20DET]

comon guys get this thing going i want my strut bars!! This is a good deal worth waiting for so all you s14 people get in on this!

[Mikes14240sx]

Good stuff. My paypal has been sent.:w00t:

[drift freaq]

Good stuff. My paypal has been sent.:w00t:
cool that makes 5 come on people we are halfway there and its only friday lets see 5 more by next wed at the latest so these babies can ship out next week!!

[NemeGuero]

Why, if there was the under one.. is there a need for the top one too? (REAR)

[drift freaq]

Why, if there was the under one.. is there a need for the top one too? (REAR)
I don't quite understand why are you asking. Unless you misunderstood my initial post were I was signifieing that the rear was indeed the the understyle. we do not have a top one for the rear.
Before this we never had a rear bar now we have the understyle which people prefer on the s14 because its underneath the back cover.

[NemeGuero]

Yah, I understood you're making the under style. In the pic there are 2 bars. One under and one above (with a nismo sticker on it). Just wondering if it makes sense to have both.

[drift freaq]

Yah, I understood you're making the under style. In the pic there are 2 bars. One under and one above (with a nismo sticker on it). Just wondering if it makes sense to have both.
oh that, thats because the bar was fitted on that particular car for pics only. He already owned the Nismo bar and wanted to keep it but he allowed us to use his car for pics of the bar.

[silvia425]

BUMP. come on people keep those order coming.

[drift freaq]

BUMP. come on people keep those order coming.
thank you silvia425 and yes I can understand your enthuisasm to get these bracees they are nice and very high quality and S14 owners asked for these for a long time. So people 5 more sets are needed to purchased and they will ship out.

[vw_nissan]

Just wondering if the FMIC piping interfere with the front strut bar?

[drift freaq]

Just wondering if the FMIC piping interfere with the front strut bar?
no, it should not. Never heard of it doing that or seen it doing that.
P.S. folks we now have 6 paid for. Only 4 more to go! The wed goal is looking on the money get in now before you miss out.

[Vicious-S14]

I need the rear one, so if anyone's willing to split the cost with me that needs a front one, lemme know.... :rawk:

[drift freaq]

seven sets are paid for now folks. we are coming down to it. Lets hit 10 sets by wed.

[CMO]

I just need the rear one also. Anyone in the GA area gonna get these? If so I'll spit a set with you cause I only need the rear one.

[SilviaSR20DET]

someone split it with cmo!!! then itll only be 2 more sets left BUMP!!!

[trsilvias13]

optional just rear? haha

[silvia425]

[pumablk]

So how may are left? If I can still get in on this, I will send payment as soon as possible.

neil

[drift freaq]

So how may are left? If I can still get in on this, I will send payment as soon as possible.

neil
3 spots are left, if you want in go ahead and paypal me.

[njd07]

if you can do 155 shipped to Canada...i'll take a set

[drift freaq]

if you can do 155 shipped to Canada...i'll take a set
Group buys do not work this way. You don't make offers on shipping or pricing. Canada costs more to ship to period. The group buy is not going to eat your extra added shipping costs due to where you are. If you want the braces you will pay the extra to get them to Canada.

[bangoo man]

***never mind***

[silvia425]

hurry up with the orders people. bump

[its240sx]

ppl hurry up...
few sets left...
we want it to be ship out and ppl who had paid is waiting for it...bump

[SilviaSR20DET]

so how many spots are left now?? drift freaq updates!!!

[drift freaq]

3 spots are left hopefully we should get it squared this week so we can start getting stuff shipped.

[silvia425]

come on people i really want these struts shipped to me.

[its240sx]

[trsilvias13]

[CMO]

if some takes the rear i will take the front

Hey I'll take the rear one. But I was wondering if there was any way he could just ship me the rear bar and ship you the front one?

[silvia425]

updates please.

[m072514]

how close to the hood is the front bar? i mean, does it provide alot of clearance to close properly? or will there be a little bit of vibration from contact? also, will this strut bar interfere with a KA-T or SR?

[drift freaq]

how close to the hood is the front bar? i mean, does it provide alot of clearance to close properly? or will there be a little bit of vibration from contact? also, will this strut bar interfere with a KA-T or SR?
it provides plenty of clearance to close properly. It will not interfere with a KAT or SR.
3 more spots left I sugggest you get in soon.

[m072514]

it provides plenty of clearance to close properly. It will not interfere with a KAT or SR.

[drift freaq]

you will get tracking numbers when the product goes out.

[pumablk]

Ok, I will bite now that I am the last person to get in on this. I truly hope i am the last person. How soon will they ship? And confirmation on being the last person will go a long way to assuage my 'fears'. Thank you.

[silvia425]

[SilviaSR20DET]

[Tko21]

hi drift, what is the current status? thanks alot!

[m072514]

yeah please let us know what is up with these strut bars. looking forward to them.

[drift freaq]

ok, guys I have turned the cash over to the supplier, the supplier has been kind of busy lately and is getting a late start on the shipping. Your braces are coming and they will be going out Priority mail. Please remember unless the group buy is my own products, then it is something that is arranged with the supplier by me.
Stuff is coming but its not something that is in my own hands it comes direct from the supplier.

[m072514]

any update on the shipment? its been almost 2 weeks since the spots were filled, and nothing yet. please let us know, thanks!

[its240sx]

any update plz?

[silvia425]

has anyone else recieved their strut bars yet.

[Tko21]

nothing yet... still waiting for tracking number

[drift freaq]

guys I talked to the supplier and they said they should be getting them out at the end of this week there were some in stock and some in customs. They have been waiting for the rest to come out of customs a few sets were shipped. Then they started waiting for the rest in customs. They supplier apologizes for the delay.

r u gonna wait until the supplier have all 10 sets ready then u gonna ship it, or will u ship what u have in ur hand? like first in fist serve, ship it to whoever paid first!

[silvia425]

my friends were 2nd and 3rd on the list and they already got theirs, so i should be getting mine soon correct? because i was 4th on the list who paid.

[DoriftoPnoy]

damnit i always miss these group buys.... where the hell can i make a quick buck without degrading myself?

[its240sx]

have any of u recieve ur strut bars yet?

[silvia425]

no and i'm still waiting.

[Tko21]

still waiting also... did the ppl who got their strut bars received any tracking numbers?

[silvia425]

yeah my friends got theirs and they got tracking numbers.

[m072514]

hmmm... ive neither heard nor received anything yet.

[pumablk]

I have yet to receive tracking info...or any info for that matter.

neil

[drift freaq]

hey, I wanted to let you guys know a little of whats been happening because I have been very frustrated with supplier. They messed up on their inventory which is why some went out and then the rest were basically coming on the next container. Now I have been told the container was in at customs and was coming up to the warehouse. They basically had two containers coming and the braces were not on the first one so they are on the second one. This has been very frustrating for me because its not in my control. I have been being p.m.d by one particular person in the group on a almost daily basis. The person seems to feel that by bothering me constantly about it something will happen. It will it will get me very annoyed because I am not the supplier . The way group buys work is a person arranges it with a supplier. Sometimes suppliers have an inventory problem and stuck gets back ordered and then they have it coming in. Such is the case here. I did not know this was going to happen, nor do I like that it did. The braces are here but not out of the container and like I said we are basically at the mercy of the suppliers timing at the moment.
You are all going to get your braces and in fact there will probably at least ten more sets availible after everyone is taken care of with this new shipment.
I ask that you please have a little patience because in the end you will get your product and will be happy.
Again I am sorry, but this kinda stuff happens from time to time with overseas products.

[m072514]

thanks for the update. it is reassuring that you went and followed up for us. i dont mind the extra wait too much, im just glad that they ARE coming. any other updates would be appreciated, thanks!

[Tko21]

thanks drift for the update! i dont the extra time because you did a lot for us already.

[RacerAV]

dont suppose i could still get in on this? please pm me if so! id take a pair for that price!
Adamo

[pumablk]

Yeah, i dont mind the extra wait time at all, I just needed an info update. Thanks.

neil

[highoctane]

Hmmm...since you said that there might be some extra set after the group buy people is covered; depending on when it is available, I might be interested. Will the price be the same?

[silvia425]

has anyone recieved their strut bars yet? another update from the distributor would be nice.

[m072514]

has anyone recieved their strut bars yet? another update from the distributor would be nice.

hear! hear! any word from the distributors??

[its240sx]

still waiting!

[K2Ska311]

I understand things can happen like this in customs but I just wish we weren't lead to believe that they were ready to ship out immediately after 10 orders were recieved. This is the reason why I cancelled my Nismo strut bar and jumped on this group buy. I know it's out of your hands at this point, but any update is still comforting.

[pumablk]

Update please. Thank you.

neil

[its240sx]

some one plz tell me that im not scammed! j/k

[drift freaq]

ok people, I stated earlier what happened. I was told the stuff was in stock. If I had known it was not all in stock I would not have posted what I did. I have an exemplary reputation here on Zilvia for selling stuff and getting stuff.
Before anyone starts freaking and thinking they got scammed,STOP!!!

You did not get scammed nor are you getting scammed, but you all have to realize that like I said earlier when stocking mixups happen with imported goods its sometimes takes time for stuff to come back in.
Now I have been talking to the supplier once a week.
I just got off the phone with them 5 minutes ago. They told me the stuff is now officially in customs. Apparently like I stated a week or so ago the first container did not have the braces on it so the second container will. I was told by the supplier that one of the containers coming in had the braces but they thought it was the first one. Now I stated that previously.
I do way to much business here on Zilvia for this to wreck my rep. If you are that uptight about the situation and you want your money back, I am sure there are people that would fill your position though like I said they are in customs as we speak.
Again,I apologize personally for this happening though it was completely out of my control and I am frustrated by it as well.
Though do not think anyone is going to get screwed your product is coming. Its just taking some time.

[Tko21]

i can always count on you, drift. i doubt anyone would get scammed. just wait a lil longer. it will come!

[S14Tiger]

Hey let me know if I can still jump on this offer cuz i'll jump on it!

[drift freaq]

yes!! At last, I actually saw them today and they start shipping out Priority mail tomorrow people!! I was at the suppliers warehouse today and they came in!!
There are also 5 extra sets available for anyone else that is interested in a set.

[silvia425]

thx for the update.

[addictednissan]

hi i am extremely interested in this buy let me know thanks

[drift freaq]

hi i am extremely interested in this buy let me know thanks
yes you and two other people have made requests , I have responded to all there were 5 extra sets that came in. so technically there would be 2 more sets people. I suggest people get in now. The next group buy the price will be up $10 per set. i.e. $165 shipped.

+1 for him!

[m0rex]

So do you still have a set available? I'll take one.

[drift freaq]

So do you still have a set available? I'll take one.
yes there are more sets available but the price is now $165 shipped. Yes costs came out to be up a bit due to exchange rates. Though that is only $10 more. Anyways you can paypal me at [email protected]

[PITCH]

I'm down for a set. Let me know when we can order.

[Slidin240Wayz]

In defense of Micky, he' is not that type of person to rip people off. He had a dispute with a prior transaction, NOT THIS ONE. He told me he never put in a dispute with the strut bars. This should clear up right away.

[K2Ska311]

Drift,
This was a chargeback filed against a seperate paypal transaction as you can tell from the amount of money the chargeback is for. I will notify paypal immediately and get this straightened out. I was more than willing to display patience throughout our transaction, please give me the same courtesy.

Thanks and sorry for this mixup.

[emperor_lunchbox]

are there any slots left on this. I am really interested!
Thanks.

[S0crates]

Do you have any still remaining? If so, I'm ready to order.

[sw20>>s14]

okay, seriously, no s14 out there is looking for a front strut bar?

driftfreaq, just to open up more potential canidates, if another member and i work it out, would you be able to split the set and ship to different locations/states?

[screwd08]

whats average time for shipping?

[drift freaq]

whats average time for shipping?
around a week to 10 days but sometimes it is more like 4-7 days.

[drift freaq]

driftfreaq, just to open up more potential canidates, if another member and i work it out, would you be able to split the set and ship to different locations/states?

well if that was done there would have to be a extra shipping charge because basically thats shipping to two different locations expense wise.

[screwd08]

ty. i should be seeing mine soon. i ordered mine friday night.

[chuy]

Can I just call I dont have Pay-Pal too lazy to have another acct.

[drift freaq]

Can I just call I dont have Pay-Pal too lazy to have another acct.
the only way I can accept your card is through paypal I do not have a regular merchant account. If you want you can send me a U.S. Postal money order. P.M. for the address. Though it will probably take a little longer for you to recieve your product.

[nos240]

man you guys ask for them, so I check up and only one person out of all the people that inquired actually purchases? come on guys:D


you've got pm.

[sw20>>s14]

OMG!!! some one buy just the front! or driftfreaq, sell me just the rear!!! this is such a tease! haha

[drift freaq]

got your message nos payment was received the supplier most likely shipped it yesterday. As I turned your address over to them immediatly. They are the ones that actually handle the shipping.
I say it most likely went out yesterday because from sat till a week from sat they will be out of town on vacation. No orders after yesterday will be processed till then.

[hellion240sx]
