Cusco Tension Rod Bar GB!! - Page 3 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Here is the site for the BATTLE VERSION stuff.

SR20Fastback · 01-03-2003, 04:25 AM

Id be intrested in some JIC (or cusco for that matter too) TC Rods and Tie Rods, depending on the price of each, I would definately be willing to get at least one (considering both my tc rods and tie rods are dead).

Edit: I just realized how bad I want the Cusco rear STB and Triangle piece. If you could get a gb on that I would DEFINATELY be intrested.

95Blue240sx · 01-04-2003, 09:18 PM

have the bars for the first group shipped out yet?

Danio · 01-05-2003, 04:52 AM

Uhm so the group buy for the Cusco tension rod bar is still going on, right? So do I pay the 50% deposit to join or what? (Sorry I just found out about this gb.)

Changster · 01-07-2003, 09:06 PM

hey are you doing this group buy another time ? you said you could maybe get them to us for less than 100 ? id like to get in on this buy. if u can get them under 100 my friend would want them too. so put me down for 1 definitely, maybe 2. let me know

[email protected] thanks

95Blue240sx · 01-10-2003, 02:42 PM

i go back to my question. have the bars shipped out yet?? they were suppose to be shipped out on the 1st-2nd from what 1fasts13 told me in an email. havent heard from him since. how about you guys?

**West** · 01-14-2003, 02:56 PM

Not sure if Leo has sent out an email or been here in awhile but I got an email from another GB from him a few days ago. He is in Japan right now or somewhere else and should be back on the 20th IIRC. The container is in LA and is awaiting customs aproval.

Just didnt want anyone to worry about the GB or Leo f'n us over, he is a badass guy so expect to hear from him soon.

95Blue240sx · 01-14-2003, 06:06 PM

thanks for the update West

Bbandit · 01-15-2003, 11:33 AM

alright cool! im still in!!

1fasts13 · 01-15-2003, 11:43 PM

hey guys!! just got back from my vacation

i got word today the container is "hopefully" clearing this fri or mon so keep your fingers crossed!!!

as for the next batch of the GB, i will start that up after the 1st batch ships out. so everyone on the list for the 2nd buy will get an email soon.

and some good news on kazama; i found out one of my suppliers can get their products so i maybe to offer a GB on them

i'll keep u guys posted on that one. from what i understand this is a list of parts ppl are interested in:

- rear arm set (not sure if u want the rods or both??)
- pillow tension rod
- super tie rod end

hopefully i'll have an answer for this by early next week.

finally, as for the 2nd GB i am considering doing some sort of air mail service for shipping so to avoid all these current dilemnas with ocean frieght. i wont know for sure until i get these 1st batch out (have to see box dimensions and weight to see whehter its viable or not; if its the same size as the kazama ones which is only about a 12x12x4 box then its easily doable). but if it is then it would be like a 2 week shipping service, the GB price may go up by 10 bux or so, but at least the wait wont be like this!!

please offer your suggestions if you guys have any

can you, or anyone put up a pic of these? they all sound familiar. but just to be sure. thanks

1fasts13 · 01-16-2003, 09:05 AM

here you go!! taken directly from kazama site:

rear arm set

pillow tension rod

super tie rod end

**West** · 01-16-2003, 10:10 AM

I might be down for the Tie Rod Ends & Rear Arm (Traction Rod IIRC) depending on price.

Any word on those NAMS Fender Bars?

95Blue240sx · 01-16-2003, 04:51 PM

<~~~whore

im interested in the rear arm set and t/c rods. they're sexy

SR20Fastback · 01-16-2003, 05:07 PM

yeah still intrested in the Fender bar, might be able to spring funds for the tie rods.

BadMoJo · 01-16-2003, 06:08 PM

hrmm nice, I like the looks of those.

Anyone know anything about Kazama? I have not really hear much about them. Just wondering where they rank quality wise.

Steeles · 01-17-2003, 06:49 AM

put me down for the rear arms set and for the super tie rod ends

as for quality from what I've heard Kazama is really good quality, those upper rear arms look to be an exact copy of the cusco units.

bri96se · 01-17-2003, 12:21 PM

What is kazama quality and price compared to cusco? Does anyone know?

1fasts13 · 01-17-2003, 02:36 PM

i think dousan can more comment on their quality as he was the one that originally talked of the kazama parts, but i did get to see one of their tension rods while i was out in japan and the quality of that piece is at least on par with the cusco one if not better. i would assume the rest of their suspension pieces are just as good!!

BTW sorry for the newB question but which is the t/c rod

as for price wise, i will compare with the cusco and post up prices for both and u guys decide which way you want to go (for those that has identical cusco pieces that is)

also called the Pillow Tension Control Rod in the pictures above.

caster adjustment for the front and improved steering response switching to a pillowball from the stock ruubber goo filled bushing

1fasts13 · 01-17-2003, 09:32 PM

another update!!

just got official word today that the 1st batch of 10 is due to arrive monday and should be able to ship out same day

to make things easier we are just gonna do the shipping thing so to avoid any more confusion than need be. i will email everyone tracking info when i recieve it!!

thanks for your patience!!

2nd GB will commence sometime next week; i still am sorting out all the shipping options. right now looks to be the best and cheapest way will be to drop ship direct from japan to each individual by express mail and i am waiting to hear back exactly how much shipping will cost. i'll get a better idea by mid week and will notify everyone on the 2nd list by email.

have a good weekend everyone

Dousan_PG · 01-17-2003, 09:43 PM

leo, i'd be down for all of them.just let me know. first want the tie rod ends of course, then the rest...my suspension needs more adjustability.
thx

KyoLo · 01-18-2003, 04:45 AM

How much do arm sets, pillow tension bars & super tie ends cost?????

hurleyboi514 · 01-20-2003, 10:18 AM

KyoLo · 01-22-2003, 05:14 AM

1fasts13 · 01-22-2003, 02:09 PM
