Anyone need to order anything from GK Tech?
I'm after a lockout kit but the postage is crippling (doubling the cost!)
They charge about $43Aus a Kg.

I'd have some rear lower arms but they've been out of stock forever
Might be interested in a couple of small bits
Can't they do a better price on the shipping?
Tried mate, they won't budge at all on it. Tax knocks off $4 from the kit but postage doesn't change. It's just not worth ordering them.
GK Tech do an OEM-like S13 washer bottle that is in demand.
I don't need one personally but was just thinking it might be worth you buying to sell on.
There are quite a few things that you could purchase to sell on for profit too... Uprated viscous fan for example.Originally Posted by Jonny Wilkinson
Sorry forgot to reply to your pm! I think i will give the eccentric lock kit a miss for now, cheers for the offer though! I may see if a local machine shop can make me up some of the washers!
No worries mate,
It's a crazy price, the cost of the kit is pretty steep but the delivery is bonkers. Mark is looking into the bits to see if he can do something similar. That might be able to help us.
My only issue is the car is booked in for 11th March so I don't have much time to sort it out.
Do you think they're overcharging?
IIRC there are a couple of lads from Oz on the forum who might be able to help
every time i've bought from GKtech i've try'd to order enough to maximise what i bring over against the shipping costs. I also managed to get a better deal on multiple items emailing and getting a shipping cost that way as their website just adds the individual shipping costs for parts together.
An eccentric lockout kit is easy enough to make up, you need bolts obviously and 5mm thick washers 32-36mm in diameter can't remember exactly what size.
I used two repair washers to get the thickness and the diameter was about right.
If you do make an order there are a couple of things i'd be interested in.
Last time i ordered from them i asked them to at least write a reduced value on the waybill so if i got import fee's it wouldn't be as much, they were happy to do that, but postage price is ridiculous, otherwise i'd of ordered their prototype hub knuckles and geo arms by now.
I just ordered a brake caliper adapter from aus for a bit of a brake project I'm doing and that was 90 dollars to ship it must just be Australia. I do want to get something from gktech but when are you thinking of ordering?

Prototypes of ones I made, finished ones were slightly thinner and had chamfered edges.
Made a few sets before, might still have some stainless left or could do some aluminium ones if people prefer.
They look good, what grade bolts you using?
We also made some
Pointless paying crazy money for them.

I wish I had the time mate, I really need to get going on this. The subframe will be at APT in two weeks time
I ran with the standard bolts but was going to change them for some 10.9 BZP cap heads.
Hey fella, if it's cool can you add this bushing to the order: http://www.gktech.com/index.php/s13-...r-bushing.html just pm me for payment method etc
Oh and dang I need some of those lockout washers you guys are knocking up! Wish I had a lathe!
These guys may be cheaper p&p from the states.http://www.splparts.com/spl-eccentri...t-kit-s13-z32/
I can also make some if Mark cant. Might look into some myself anyway. Just cover postage.
