Hands Up all the Aussies

[Proto Z]

Hi have you fitted front and rear sway bars yet, have talked to Josh from Whiteline performance and the link he sent was for BNK006 but this is for 350z, called them today and they said they did not have a kit for 2023 Z, and were not sure if BNK014 for the 370z would fit

Hey mate - yep I sure did... they are in the car now

Whiteline are based in SYD, but I'm in BNE, so the work was done at the Fulcrum R&D/Training facility in Brisbane.

The guys there are installing new mounts and checking clearances now that the larger exhaust has gone in, and I'm meant to hear from them this week. I'll ask them to give me a contact for someone who can sell these things and pass on the deets.

Thanks
Was it a straight install without any problems, which kit did you use.
I am also looking at the kit from Z1 performance in the states.

being that kit was only for 09-13 year models and not the later 370Z I assumed it would not fit.
thus I was also curious for part numbers.

add to this the nismo ones are not common Z34 to RZ34 also makes me concerned about common parts.

Puting the whiteline swaybars on the S14 was such a huge improvement I was planning same for this.

So a follow up, regarding the reports on Facebook that one of the guys dealer has said the ship carrying the next shipment is on the water.
So far my dealer has no information to suggest this is true.
I’m not saying it’s not, because we are in WA and maybe the ship changes somewhere along the line which means it’s not in our system, or maybe WA will get their delivery a few weeks later

How am I meant to get any work done today now...

Anyone else interested in getting a front and rear sway bar kit from Z1 performance, looking at ordering when allocation of car is advised.
These guys usually have good sales on black Friday and cyber Monday.

I'm in Canada, but I ordered their set a few months back. It's a pretty good price for what they are. Look forward to adding these on when I install the exhaust. Anything to firm up the roll a little. One of the only negative thing I've seen and read in reviews is the cars tendency to pitch a bit from side to side cornering. Can't go wrong. And they have adjustment

Only problem (From an AU perspective) is the shipping costs.

For example - the Z1 CAI's were USD$70 for shipping.
The CAI's and their CF hood dress up bit was $360 for shipping...

The longer pieces (and I'd reckon these braces would be about the same) can cost more in shipping than they do for the goods themselves.

so Midland in WA are currently advertising a new Z in stock for sale (not demo)

has anyone called and tested that one?

Shipping for these is 260US, lucky for me my daughter works for Qantas, so a quick trip to the US or Hawaii could be on the cards to pick up parts and bring back as checked baggage

I brought back 75 kg of mustang parts one trip. Was great.

I know a while back Morley was advertising a yellow coupe for sale. When we called they said…oh sorry not sure how that got on there. It’s not for sale but you can order one if you want
Now this could be the same…or legit could be a car. Either way it’s not a good way to go about things.
I’m guessing Midland would have multiple orders that they can’t fill yet, and therefore I would think the right thing to do would be to offer someone on the list the car…but hey what do I know
If it’s a fishing tactic…also bad form


Also what’s with the “enquire for price” line.

Judging by the photos and the reference to it having 10km on the clock I’d say it will be a real car. And not a new car but a second hand sale. And they are trying to get more than list price and likely will.
Text says it’s an auto but the photo looks like a manual to me. idiots
