"Best Buy" - TEST THREAD!!!

Here we go..........

 

PLEASE READ FIRST!!!!!

Hi all.......spoke to the mods & they suggested I run this "test thread" here in the 'FS Z Related' section!!

Please fully read the following BEFORE POSTING A REPLY!!! ....
Sorry it's a little long......

* Firstly & probably most importantly.....

please DO NOT POST ANYTHING 'OFF TOPIC'!!!! in this thread!!

The moderators have suggested this otherwise the thread may lose it's focus & not be a true test of what this is trying to establish!!!

* Any feedback....good or bad??....is more than welcome in the "Best Buys Section" post in "Forum Discussions"......so feel free to post & discuss anything there???

* I would like to run this as a test thread to see if this format may work for finding the 'Best Buy' for any given product.....in this case "NISMO Clear Side Indicators"....as they seem to be a popular purchase for many Zed owners.

* I hope that if successful.....a section in the forum may be dedicated to this kind of info for any particular product that is popular with our cars!!

* I must stress this IS NOT an attempt to tell anyone what to buy!!! & it is intended to be PART SPECIFIC!!!
......for example......I would like to see similar posts for say a GFB underdrive pulley AND an Unorthodox Racing underdrive pulley AND say the Ross Racing harmonic balancer underdrive pulley.......it is not intended to be a comparison of these available parts.....that is up to the individual buyer to determine what suits them & their needs the best????......it is purely a method of displaying where to buy those parts at a great price!!! I hope this is clear???.....see ZDUCTIV's great examples in the "Forum Discussion" thread for more info!!

* I have chosen this as an example because it's a simple part, not expensive, I have recently purchased a set so I can verify the quality & details ...& I wanted others to know of this great deal!! ....especially as this price is better than the recent GB for these!!!

* I bought these from this supplier....when I happened to read another members generous tip off in a thread somewhere??......purely by chance!
It made me think there must be many examples like this.....members who have found a great buy......but for whatever reason that info is not well known to the rest of us???...so this is an attempt to make such great info available to all forum members

* Please ONLY REPLY TO THIS POST IF YOU HAVE FOUND A BETTER DEAL than the one listed here??? It is intended that the LAST POST in the thread should be the LOWEST PRICE for these indicators!!!......& not a similar type.....but genuine NISMO ones!!! This format may not be ideal....as the lowest price may involve longer shipping times etc.....& some members would be happy to pay a little more to have the part sooner than later???.....but generally most members will have taken this into account when researching their particular part of interest......so I'm hoping this may not be a significant issue??? I guess only time will tell???

* Please make sure that YOU CAN PERSONALLY VERIFY THE DETAILS & PRICE!!!!.......please do not post "my mate said....." or "I heard that......" or "I think it was about....." etc etc
This is intended to be upon your recommendation to your fellow Zed enthusiasts.......so be proud of helping others find a great buy!!! :zlove: :zlove:

* Please only post any replies in EXACTLY THE SAME FORMAT as the original information is provided.....i.e.
Product Name, Shop name, url, Shipping location->Delivery location, Time to arrive, Price, shipping price & TOTAL PRICE.....followed by any pics of the product

as suggested by ZDUCTIV (see "Forum Discussion")......as this will allow other members to quickly cross-check any info provided in the thread for that part.....& hopefully allow them to easily make a decision on where they would like to purchase from????.....remembering that it may well not be the "lowest price" post at the end of the thread???....but another they have looked through within that thread!!!!!

* If anyone would like to post DETAILS OF ANOTHER PART they have found???......say RENZED & her 2000spec tail lights:zlove: ????......then simply 'reply' to the "PLEASE READ FIRST" post & list the part in the "Title" of your new post!!!.....then list the details following the exact same format as those for the indicators!!!........then if others could direct their "Better Buy" replies to the relevant part......they should all end up in a thread below the original post for that part???

* Phew!!!......I think that about covers it????
I hope this info on these NISMO indicators is beneficial to some of you???
& I look forward to hearing, discussing & debating your thoughts & feedback on the value of such information if it was to be displayed in a "Best Buys" dedicated section on our forum???

CheerZ

Found a better buy????

then you would post a reply here to the previous post listing the part concerned.........& following the EXACT FORMAT as the info in the original specific post for that part!!!

 

Listing a different part???

then simply reply to this "PLEASE READ FIRST" post .......showing the name of the part in the "Title".......& displaying all the info in the EXACT FORMAT as the other part specific posts.....

 

or an even better one??.....

& so on.......with the intention that this LAST POST should then be the LOWEST PRICE???.....well in theory anyway!!!

 

If anyone finds........

a 'Better Buy' for the part listed in this orignal post......then they would reply with info in the EXACT FORMAT as before.....but under the relevant part......& so it would go on!!!

Sorry wrong link its:

For some reason it wouldn't let me edit my post, even when no one had replied. If Mods could change this it would be good

 

Additional information: these indicators are actually sold by Nismo as to fit the Y32 Nissan Cima (not the Z32 Nissan 300ZX) however they are the same part, so if you see Y32 mentioned anywhere when buying these it's ok.
