  1. Wow that looks great ZTR! I just made a cut just like that yesterday. I may do the same thing.
  2. Update! We now have the prototype in our hands and have some photos to share. The other 9 units are awaiting production, pending the approval of the prototype. (Meaning that we will be installing and testing it... Will update you all as soon as our project car is completed and the prototype has been tested.) Many of the 9 units that have yet to be made have already been spoken for, however there is still some availability. Due to the research and development costs being fairly higher than we anticipated, our cost of production went up. But because we already quoted 700, we will keep our word and not raise the price for the ten units. Going forward, every unit made after the first ten will be priced a little higher, but still considerably less than a Quaife. Attached are some photos of the prototype. If you have any questions, they are welcome. Thanks for your time.
  3. Seems like a structural part of the car, do you have any problems with it bending now?
  4. Anyone have problems with the rb25 transmission speed sensor hitting on the 240z body? How did you correct this problem?
  5. MidnightCafe, I am unsure of what other data you might want. In the comments it is explicitly stated that; 700 dollars is the price of each unit. 10 is the number of units that would need to be purchased in order for them to begin production. There is a lifetime warranty. The units will be ready to ship in approximately 6 months. The first 10 units sold will be shipped for free. They will be "drop and go", meaning that aside from the unit itself, no other modifications will need to be made. They are rated to withstand up to 1000 horse power. I understand that my original post was vague, and I apologize. It was made at the beginning stages of talks with MFactory and there were very few details to give. However, at this point in time they are ready to begin the production of the units. All of the details have been hammered out and they are just waiting on us to tell them how many people we have on board. If you have any more questions or are seriously interested, please do not hesitate to contact me at nick@jdmpowerhouse.com
  6. After further discussions with MFactory regarding installation warranty. Warranty covers those purchasers of the LSD that have knowledge of installation of LSD. Does not necessarily mean a professional mechanic. The folks at MFactory are very reasonable when it comes to warranty. They make a tough and reliable product. That is why I continue to pursue the development of an R200 LSD. I doubt one would get this type of service anywhere else.
  7. Next time I talk with Mfactory i will ask for more detailed information on that and get back with you sleeperZ. Should be within the next couple days.
  8. This is for the warranty information for helghast7, this is directly off of Mfactory's website regarding ALL of their LSD units. TERMS: MFactory Competition Products will provide a limited lifetime warranty for all Helical LSD's to be free of defects in materials and workmanship upon receipt of product and professional installation. Parts returned must be determined by MFactory Competition Products to be defective before any warranty credit or replacement is issued MFactory Competition Products's obligation under warranty shall be limited to repairing or replacing, at its option, any part proven defective. The customer must prepay transportation charges Final determination of the suitability of the products for the use contemplated by the buyer is the sole responsibility of the buyer. MFactory Competition Products shall not be liable for any special, direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, that might be claimed as a result of the failure of any part, including claims for delay, loss of profits, or labor MFactory Competition Products shall not be liable for any damage or injury to persons or property resulting from improper installation or misuse of any part subject to this warranty There are no other warranties expressed or implied extending beyond those set forth above INSTALLATION: Any warranty claims arising as a result of the failure of a Helical LSD will ONLY be entertained if the LSD was professionally installed and was NOT disassembled. Disassembling a Helical LSD will invalidate the warranty. RECOMMENDED FLUID: When ordering your MFactory Helical LSD, we highly recommend that you order our Torco Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF) at the same time. For your convenience, we offer Half Cases (6 x 1ltr Bottles) which is sufficient for the initial break-in period of your new transmission component(s) (approx. 1 tank of gas) and the subsequent fluid flush. DO NOT use Gear Oil in your Honda Transmission. Doing so will cause more damage than good, especially the expensive Synthetic/Performance Gear Oils. Please click here for further information. RECOMMENDED BEARINGS: When ordering your MFactory Helical LSD, we highly recommend that you order new Diff Bearings at the same time. All of the bearings that we supply are high quality OEM replacement Japanese Bearings. Prices are Per Pair. As for torque rating for sstallings, I talked to mfactory today and they said they do not go by torque but they do go by horsepower. All of their units are built for 1000hp to the differential.
  9. In reference to johnc's thread dated March 2011 On my 240z I can exchange the Highly can not find BZ3015 for the can find anytime BZ3012 for rear cutdown strut tower with use of the ground control coil over sets. Just need to keep my original gland nut?
  10. I drilled the hole and tapped the insulator 14mm x 1.50 if anyone is ever wondering what the bz3099 thread is. It looks like I might have to shave some of the insulator rubber off so the top spring perch will rest on the bearing easier. Is this normal? Thank you for the tap idea, idk why I didn't think of that!
  11. Ok went to sleep, I see what your saying. But when the suspention is compressed wouldn't the strut shaft want to move up if it is not resting on the bottom side of the insulator similar to how it is when using stock struts?
  12. Well that's the thing, I haven't drilled the hole in the insulator yet so I don't know how much thread will stick through. Maybe I'm over thinking this or maybe I've been up to long (going on 36 hours) wouldn't I want the insulator to bottom out on a ledge of the shaft on the bz3099 when bolted down? And wouldn't you want that ledge to be fairly large?
  13. I have been searching and racking my brain all morning trying to figure out a good way to install the ground control coil overs with the stock strut insulator using the BZ3099. The strut tubes are already sectioned and ready for everything to be bolted on, I just cant think of the best way to do it. Obviously the 3099s wont fit into the stock insulators, but if I drill the insulator so the treads will fit through I feel like there wont be enough surface on the 3099s below the threads. so the other idea was the turn the 3099s threads into a "D" shape but still the stock insulator "D" will still need to be made bigger and im not sure on how to do that. I will attach a few photos of what I am talking about. Thank you for your help in advance!
  14. The design is in the works, we are simply looking for interest. They do not want to begin putting their time, money and resources into manufacturing a product if there is no market for it. We are only trying to show them that there are people out there who would be interested in it. The price we were given is the price they told us it would cost to produce and sell, however there will be no production OR selling unless we can prove that there are more people who would be willing to spend the money and purchase it. There are no "details" listed because there are very few "details" to give. They are in the very early stages of developing it, but will not proceed unless we can find ten people to commit to buy once the product is completed. I apologize for the vagueness of my posts, we are working details out with them daily. They have estimated 6-8 months development/ manufacturing time before they are ready to ship, but the 6-8 month time frame will not begin until they have the required 10 people interested. Thanks!
  15. We apologize for all the inconvenience caused by our thread. But just to answer the previous questions, the unit looks similar to the Quaiffe because the outside design has to be comparable to fit into the differential housing, but its stronger than the OBX. The price per LSD will be 700 dollars each, and the first 10 units sold will be shipped for free. If anyone is interested we would be more than happy to answer any and all questions and can be reached via PM or at nick@jdmpowerhouse.com Thank you all so much for your time, Nick
  16. We are in no relation to mfactory, my father and I are just a couple of guys that work on cars in our free time. We have built several cars some using quaife and some using mfactory. Several years ago my quaife in my honda gave out, when it came time for warranty quaife was anything but helpful. So I switched to mfactory because I had other parts from them that have proven themselves, and their customer service is one of the best I have ever dealt with. Long story short quaife left a bad taste in our mouth, so we didn't want to run them in our rb26 240z. We also didn't want to run OBX because of the obvious already stated problems above. We simply just called mfactory to find out what it would take to make them manufacture a r200 LSD diff. So if we can just find out if their would actually be any interest so we can take this to the next step.
  17. ***Per availability for this month only we can offer a special price for Hybrid Z members. We are not allowed to advertise the price below MSRP but you can PM us and we can tell you then. It will be substantially lower then MSRP. Act fast and take advantage of this great deal!*** I am working on a 240z swap using the R200. It is very hard finding a R200 with the LSD. Pursuing other products on the market to achieve the open diff. to an LSD is not only expensive, purchasing a Quaife but is not practical installing a Phantom Grip or the conversion from Traction Concepts. The later products in my opinion will never handle the stress needed to achieve the horse power most of us want. I personally would like to have a great LSD installed one time and forget it. So I will get to the point. I have contacted MFactory. At this time they do not carry an LSD for the R200. But, if there is enough interest and I want to stress serious interest. They will begin the process of development and manufacturing the helical LSD. With initial talks the unit will be at least on the average of $300.00-400.00 less than the Quaife and still have a lifetime warranty. For those of you not familiar with MFactory, here is a link for you to read about their products and how they are made. http://www.teammfactory.com/helical-lsd for information on their helical LSD’s Serious interest post below so we can start a list. 1.exlifesaver*PAID* 2.LLave*PAID* 3.hcarrickz3 *PAID* 4. yahz *PAID* 5.konradlip *PAID* 6.Chris Duncan *PAID* 7.hcarrickz3 (2nd LSD) *PAID* 8.MidnightCafe *PAID* 9.Medic8 *PAID* 10.makaofox *PAID*
