[SteveSadler]

There you have it guys. whats they emailed to me a moment ago.


> Hi there guys.
> How much would you charge for shipping of both these items to the UK?

Package is around 9 lbs, to UPS would be $110 Canadian.

> Also, if I wanted to buy more than 5 of each can we agree any kind of discount?

no, sorry. I don't discount UNLESS it's to a car-related performance shop - then I require a faxed business license to offer a small discount. I offer my best pricing on ALL my products up front -
I don't believe in falsely raising my prices to offer "discounts". I offer my best price to everyone, be it small or large orders. Sorry. (besides, those items are already HUGELY discounted as
they are on Special already) This has been my business philosophy from day one.... to offer my best price on every single product I offer or else I don't sell it. That's what keeps my prices as
low as possible.

Could Matt_S get this 'small discount' by using Octane Performance? Just a thought.

Theres a picture of the boot of my car in the readers ride section of the site, you can see the strutbrace, it just misses my amp but it doesn't take up too much space.

[Matt_S]

Could give it a try I suppose. Not convinced the quickshift will fit though, at least on the S13. Although, saying that, they have the same clutch plate
I'd need definate numbers of course.
Packaging would be a nightmare, as I'd have to get it delivered to mine and then send them all out to you guys - more money.
Not sure if this "little discount" wouldn't be swallowed up by Royal Mail.

seems like a bit of a nightmare.
but then 110$ seems like alot to ship over too.

how much is it to buy em in the UK?

Try www.rollhard.com (http://www.rollhard.com)
The short shifter is cheaper and the strut braces are only slightly more

So what are we gonna do on this matter? That shipping is really expensive. http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/frown.gif

Dave is right about shipping. If we were buying, say more than 4 sets of struts/ shifters between us, it would be cheaper for one of us to fly over for a weekend with an empty siutcase and bring all the stuff back personally. Anyone fancy a holiday?

[SXOC Admin]

Bummer really, cos my other half loves america, but she only went alittle while ago. http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/frown.gif Boooooooooooooo

I'm going in October and will be looking around all the performance shops !!! Anyone wan't anything not too big I'm sure I can squeeze it in me suitcase ?

I also am IT Operations Supervisor at FTS Freight Forwarders and am going to ask them about some discount on shipping parts over (I'll just say theyr'e all for me, 50 strut braces, 20 short shifts etc). Worth a go as I once got caught trying to bring neon lights over on the plane and got them confiscated as they are a hazardous gas on planes, my company sorted me out though real cheap and shipped them over, result !!!

Ouch!! That shipping is horrendous.. Don't forget that import duty and VAT would be payable on top of whatever the total cost is too. Definately VAT anyway. It won't end up the bargain it first appears unfortunately. Do they offer any other shipping options or do you have to UPS it?

[Bean]

Just looked at quick shift kits on www.carparts.com (http://www.carparts.com)

$70 for quickshift
$30 for shipping & handling using UPS

Part No 01-0422

Not sure if I picked the right 200sx model?

Bean,

That's not our motor. The US 200sx SE is a 2 door 5 seater based on a Sentra, a sort of American Almera.

S14, logbook says emerald, actually dirt coloured.

[Paul_S13]

The U.S. 200sx if FWD, you have to look at the 240sx with the KA24DE 2.4 engine.

[Bean]

Whoops, didn't think I'd chosen the right model, shouldn't be so many b*****y different models.

They don't do one for the 240sx.

It can't be that difficult to modify the standard gearstick, you only have to bend it and move the Fulcrum point.
