AN OFFICIAL THREAD ON THE 'GROUP-BUY' FORUM WAS OPENED 11TH SEPTEMBER.

 

PLEASE JOIN US THERE.

 

 

I have been trying to get a set of indiglo dials for my imported manual non-turbo Z32 for a sensible price. I have searched the forum and found at least three attempts this year to set up a group-buy for these. They all seem to have fizzled out so now I intend to organise a successful group-buy myself.

 

I have spoken to the manufacturer, mygarage-Glasgow, and they will make us a minimum quantity of twenty, ALL OF ONE DESIGN, for a price of £55 to £59 incl. delivery (let’s assume £60 maximum). By ‘one design’ I think I could persuade them to accept a mix of turbo and non-turbo as the only difference is the cut out in the speedo dial for the booster dial. All other dials would be identical.

 

I will find out about time-scales but, in the meantime, I am looking for opinions from interested members on what the dials should be. My own opinion is that each dial should be as U.K as possible for example:-

 

1) Temperature - standard (I think UK/Jap are the same)

2) Speedo - 180 mph (with or without cut out for boost)

3) Boost -14/+14

4) Tachometer - 0 to 9 with 7-9 red (I think UK/Jap are the same)

5) Oil pressure - psi

6) Fuel - standard (I think UK/Jap are the same)

7) Refer to http://www.mygarage-glasgow.co.uk/ to see what colours/styles are available. Remember they do not yet have graphics for the 300ZX so the dials you see are for other cars and should only be used for judging the colour/style. We can decide on the graphics we want later.

Although I like several of them my preference is Reverse Indiglo (White Background)

 

Please start by stating your choices on this thread but only do so if you think you might be interested in buying. Start with my choices listed above and post anything you would prefer to have different. Once there is sufficient consensus and numbers I will start a new thread for the group-buy. We don’t want to spend weeks discussing our preferences (I think this is what helped kill off the previous threads). I think ten days should tell us whether there is sufficient interest and consensus to proceed with the group-buy.

 

IF YOU KNOW YOU WILL NOT WANT TO JOIN THE GROUP PLEASE DO NOT POST ON THIS THREAD AS IT WILL ONLY ADD TO CONSENSUS DIFFICULTIES.

 

There were twenty-five members who showed interest on previous group-buys and I will send each of them a pm to ensure they know of this group-buy. With that many interested we should have no problem proceeding very soon.

 

Once the design has been established, I suggest each member joining the group pay a deposit (amount to be agreed) that will be deducted from the final price of the dials. This is to ensure that members are committed to the purchase. These deposits will be sacrificed if the member backs out of the group-buy (and used to reduce price to remaining members) but WILL be refunded in full if the group-buy does not proceed. This should not happen as I intend to order the full twenty sets, even if there are not twenty group-buy members. I will pay for, and sell separately, any that are not pre-sold to the group.

 

O.K. let’s go, this is going to be a successful group-buy.

I would prefer it with no design or logo, or if there is a small one tasteful one :D

I have a scale drawing of the dials if that could be handy

I'm sure they would be very handy. Please hang on to them and I'll contact you again when we get a bit closer to manufacture.

 

Dave

Just an update........I have now pm'd 27 members who had expressed an interest in recent 'failed' group-buys for indiglo's - most of them wanted the same spec that the first five of us want here. With luck we should be able to get 20+ for this group-buy.

 

There are five names that I was not able to send pm's to, maybe they are no longer members or something, they are:- flairman - Scottrw - uncle fester - Wolfman - daves new ZX . If anyone knows them or can contact them please let them know what we are doing......the more the merrier. :hyper:

 

Dave

daves new zx is now daves zx

daves new zx is now daves zx

 

Thanks Scubie, I'll send him a pm.

Thanks Scubie, I'll send him a pm.

 

Hi Scubie, I've tried to pm him but the system doesn't recognise the name. I've tried daves zx - Daves zx - daves_zx - Daves_zx but none of them work!

 

Dave

Daves_Zed

Daves_Zed

 

Thanks SuffolkZX, I already have Daves_Zed on my list and have pm'd him. Are you sure he's the right guy as I have found a member named daveszx on the members list, could this be him?

 

By the way, I've just sent an email to mygarage-glasgow asking for their timescales for manufacture....I will keep you and everyone else informed.

 

Dave

daves new ZX = Daves_Zed

 

daveszx is someone else but he might want some as well :D

We haven't yet decided on the graphics but KPH on the inner speedo seems a good idea to me. Let's get the numbers up a bit first then we'll discuss what the graphics should be.

 

Dave
