Group Buy ADR Braided brake lines

[CMF_lam.666]

Hey Guys,

As there wasnt enough interest for the springs, been looking into braided brake lines, would anyone be interested in a group buy?

Their made by Maltech in VIC, maltech.com.au. People in VIC can most likely pick em up, or i'll get them all delivered here then ship em out, and peeps in syd can pick up if they want to.

This is an email i received from them:

Hi Jason,

Front hoses work out to be $85.00 each
and the rears $60.00 each

So the set is $290.00 Inc GST & Postage
This set will also include 2 new banjo bolts and 4 copper washers.

Regards
Steve
Maltech

- keep in mind this is one purchase, if we get a couple might be able to drop the price even more.

i'll need to send my own lines (95 LX) down for them to make a copy and they come in various colours too. pic attached, colours cost the same.

you can get braided lines from micrasport.com, http://micrasport.com/prodtype.asp?strParents=72&CAT_ID=75&numRecordPosition=1
but their not ADR approved.

i'll only be getting fronts. if interested reply here, i think if we get around 10+ ppl they might be able to drop the price even more.

does anyone know if the brake lines are the same for the SLX and the LX?

hey jason, try specialised brake and clutch(SBCS) in penrith they are located in peachtree, they should be able to do it cheaper for you tell them carlos sent you down, if you are interested i will try and find there number.

 

[CMF_fred]

I'd be interested... look at a better price if possible

 

[CMF_lam.666]

no worries carlos, i'll give em a call once i find their number

fred - if theres enough interest we should get good prices, you looking for a set or just fronts?

 

[CMF_lam.666]

spoke to richard at SBCS (4722 2730) and they would need to have a look at the lines first b4 they quote but looking at $80 for a braided line. group buys need at least 20 purchasers for a discount.

 

[CMF_sportsclassic]

he chages depending on how long they are, so the rears should be cheaper.

 

[CMF_turbo march-rolling shell]

have you tried anywhere locally for pricing? i was at a place a few months ago down near motorama at springwood, they did custom brake lines there.. have no idea how much they were but.

 

[CMF_evade]

we had some groupbuys of brakelines (same brakequip machine used, tagged, adr approved) done for our S15s..

we just had to give the guy one set of our stock lines and he made em up..

we got 4x brake lines + 1x clutch line for $140 total.

hopefully you will be able to source a more competitive price

this is what we got:

where from? at that price i'd definately be interested.

 

[CMF_lam.666]

yeah thats a very good price aaron, how many ppl were part of the groupbuy tho? was it from cebco in vic? if so i've also sent them an email for a price, just waiting to hear back from them.

 

[smidge]

$140 for all 4 or less cause a clutch line isn't much use is pretty reasonable

 

[CMF_lam.666]

well heard back from cebco, they want $95 a line i'll see if i can get a price from sbcs in penrith once i give em some lines to look at.

"well heard back from cebco, they want $95 a line i'll see if i can get a price from sbcs in penrith once i give em some lines to look at.<BR><BR>

these people are nuts.. $95 a line? so it'd cost almost $500 for what aaron got for $140! what a joke, maybe should ask how much the price would drop by if we got 10 or more.. but i think, no matter how many we'd buy, it wouldn't drop down to $140....

 

[CMF_evade]

we had 19 people, and we got choice of sleeve colour and tag colour.

ill see if i can get the contact.

how many people would be interested?

 

[CMF_lam.666]

thanks aaron, can ppl register their interest on the approx $140 braided brake lines, PM me with your username and i'll edit the first post with a list.

$140 for a set of lines is a great price.

 

[CMF_turbo march-rolling shell]

should be cheaper then $140... micra's don't need a clutch line.. but yeh. count me in.

 

[CMF_maat]

im definately in for braided lines

 

[CMF_fred]

ditto 4 me

 

[CMF_sikK11]

at that price i would be interested for sure.

 

[CMF_sportsclassic]

does anyone know, if super s rear brake lines are the same as the std drums?

 

[CMF_Mickb]

Count me in for a set too.

"does anyone know, if super s rear brake lines are the same as the std drums?

pretty sure. i put a super s disc rear end on my lx and sure i used the std brake lines... not 100% thou.. nissan?... ask for part numbers.?

 

[CMF_sportsclassic]

thanks turbo, i have got a set of std lines to check if they are the same let yous know

 

[CMF_lam.666]

aaron, were you able to get a contact number for us?

heard back from Maltech and with 5+ ppl in a group buy it would cost $250 a set

i dont have my car at the moment, can someone possibly get me lengths of the lines front and rears so i can send more emails, hopefully we can get a better deal like aarons $140 set, but i think for that price we might need to get 20+ ppl.

guess we'll see what happens.

 

[CMF_Mickb]

bump

Any more news on this?

 

[CMF_evade]

the guy that we got them off is overseas at the moment..so cant get in contact with him

ive left him and email though.

 

[CMF_lam.666]

thanks aaron, i'll still try looking around to see if someone can at least match that price, will update once i find someone

if not, guess we'll wait till ur contact comes back

 

[CMF_evade]

i spoke to the guy last night and he said he'd speak to his brake guy.

ball park figure would be $150 he told me but more details as I get them

i think you need to order at least 10 sets to make it worth while

 

[CMF_lam.666]

thanks aaron, is that $150 posted?

so far it looks like 5 ppl are definately interested, anyone else?

edit make it 6, forgot to count myself

 

[CMF_evade]

umm dont know about postage..i doubt it, we just all picked up the last time we got it so safe to say NOT including postage

 

[CMF_lam.666]

hey aaron, any update?
