Mikelly Posted February 7, 2001 Share Posted February 7, 2001 Zbarn just shipped two early 280Z stub axles to me for $40 each, including the flanges. They have them in stock, but told me that they normally sell these for $50 each. I'm a repeate customer, so they cut me a price break... Scottie, I understand, I was just giving you grief. Seriously, if we fall short by one set, I'll pick up the extra set. Let me know. Can I pay you via PayPAL? If so, I'll transfer funds for one pair ASAP.

TimZ Posted February 7, 2001 Share Posted February 7, 2001 Scottie - I sent you an e-mail yesterday, but in case you didn't see it, I'm in. I'll send the check as soon as you say 'go'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted February 7, 2001 Share Posted February 7, 2001 I will send the funds via Paypal as well. I will also buy two sets if we need it. So now we have three guys who are willing to buy two. That makes six and we had another 4. Ten is a reality! I am looking to get my CV shafts in! It has been so long since I have done much work on my Z car. I have been so busy with other stuff and with Ideal-Z. The weather is getting warm here and I am getting the bug again!

Scottie-GNZ Posted February 7, 2001 Author Share Posted February 7, 2001 Tim, I apologize. I saw your email after I posted. In my normal work day, I am online at all times. This week I am at a company conference with no connectivity and evening activities that give me a few minutes online. By 2pm, I am having the shakes from not being online . Anyways, it looks like a go. I will call the machinist tonight and let him know. I will tell him to do 10 pairs. I might be able to up that number if there are others by the weekend, but this weekend is the end of the GP through me. I will send an email to all who have committed on this post with details on my postal address, tel # and Paypal account. I would prefer to not put that information on the net. I have not checked but if there are any buyers north of the border, we need to get an accurate shipping cost for you. ------------------ Scottie 71 240GN-Z Scottie's GNZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Johnson Posted February 8, 2001 Share Posted February 8, 2001 Scottie, count me in for these adapters. Please e-mail me your address so I can send you a check right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLKMGK Posted February 8, 2001 Share Posted February 8, 2001 Doh! Don't read in for a couple of nights and look what happens! I'm IN too. Scottie - have you got a PayPal address? Again - I'm in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno74Z Posted February 8, 2001 Share Posted February 8, 2001 Scottie By chance do you have a picture of the adaptor? Danno74Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted February 8, 2001 Author Share Posted February 8, 2001 Danno, look in the post "Interest In A CV Adaptor". The difference will be in the 2nd photo. Where you see the flange welded on top of the adaptor, it will be recessed in a pocket to position it correctly and take the load off the weld. ------------------ Scottie 71 240GN-Z Scottie's GNZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danno74Z Posted February 8, 2001 Share Posted February 8, 2001 Scottie, I found the other thread right after I asked the question about the photo - thanks. Rob and I went a slightly different route that you did on using an adaptor. We chose to part (slice in half) both the 280ZX turbo companion flange and the 260Z (in my case) stub axle flange. We then had a groove turned into one half and a mate turned into the other half similar to a nut and a screw relationship. A machined fit and true - no wobble or runout. Then both pieces were tig welded inside and out. We now have a one-piece stub axle flange but with the 280ZX turbo flange on the one end. Rob has pounded his V8Z for three years with no problems of breakage in the rear end area. The welding part is key and it has to be done by an expert in that field. This is just an alternative method to yours. One nice thing about the route Rob and I chose is (like yours) the axles are very easy to remove if need be and we went cast iron to cast iron on the welding. Just throwing that out there for people to discuss. Danno74Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted February 9, 2001 Author Share Posted February 9, 2001 Folks, sorry I have been a little scarce lately, but I just do not have online access and can only access my email from home. I understand there is a little problem with my paypal and I will correct that this afternoon when I get out of this conference. Not sure what the problem could be. Sorry if I confused anyone about the total. It is $120, including shipping. I will send out another email this evening. There is still time to get added to the list or get more than one. MikeK, I know you expressed an interest in doing that. Just let me know, but after Saturday, the GP is closed. ------------------ Scottie 71 240GN-Z Scottie's GNZ [This message has been edited by Scottie-GNZ (edited February 09, 2001).] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted February 9, 2001 Share Posted February 9, 2001 hey scottie i sent mine but i believe your paypal is full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted February 9, 2001 Author Share Posted February 9, 2001 OK, the "problem" with paypal is corrected. They instituted a new policy that limits how much payments you can receive into your account via credit card. That limit is now $100/mo and in order to exceed that limit, you have sign up for an upgraded account. The catch is they now charge a fee for every credit card transaction, 1.9% + $.30. That is not a lot of money if you are a business, because you can just build that into your price. I am not a business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pparaska Posted February 10, 2001 Share Posted February 10, 2001 Scottie, I want a pair. So are you still doing PayPal? What name do I use to get in on this? Or should I send a money order? Address? Thanks for doing this! Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimZ Posted February 10, 2001 Share Posted February 10, 2001 FYI... I received a notice this morning that Scottie had accepted my PayPal payment, so it appears that he was able to upgrade his account. Just thought I'd mention it, since Scottie might still have limited internet access. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pparaska Posted February 10, 2001 Share Posted February 10, 2001 Tim, thanks. I sent $120 using his email address as in his profile here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted February 10, 2001 Author Share Posted February 10, 2001 I just sent an email to all who are in the group purchase. If you are in this group and did not receive the email I sent this morning, please contact me as I either missed you or have your address incorrect. ------------------ Scottie 71 240GN-Z Scottie's GNZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RyalC Posted February 10, 2001 Share Posted February 10, 2001 I'd like in on the adapters. Sorry I'm late but I haven't been on the board lately. Should I just send the payment in via PayPal as described earlier in this thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimZ Posted February 10, 2001 Share Posted February 10, 2001 Wow - impressive group here. Usually, you get half of the people dropping out at the last minute. Here we have people showing up with cash in hand at the last minute. Does anybody realize how unusual that is?
