MFactory LSD group buy discussion thread

<-----doing the happy dance

Just done a quick search on the X part numbers, and the dimensions are the same. The only difference is the manufacturer, I think.

I just bought some OEM bearings yesterday
part number on invoice..G5R0-27-350B

Ok guys, the LSD's are now finished

We just need to pack & prepare them for shipment stateside. Before I can do that though, we need to order up the bearings for them, so just one last final confirmation:

G-Type - E32008J. 68mm OD, 40mm ID, 19mm Thick

Any agree/disagree?

Who's part number is that so I can order a set?

That's the factory Mazda part number? Excellent in case I can't order the ones above.

Mazda....$39.57 per x 2

just in case anyone was wondering:

the replacement mazda bearings i purchased last summer were all NSK brand

most of the OE bearings i have removed from various G-series transmissions were Nachi brand... the same brand that MFactory is supplying. i'm very pleased with their choice!

When I spoke with Steve at MFactory, I asked about the bearings, he said that would be something to do on my end. I also had to buy the bolts. Now maybe that was because I was ordering solo and was not a part of the group buy. I'll have to email him and see whats up.

[therieldeal]

yes that's correct you will have to buy them seperately

i'm not sure what the price is on the bolts, he never let me know and they aren't listed online. the bearings you could get through them or you could get from mazda or even napa.

It's all good.

I bought the bolts, hopefuly they will arrive with the diff, I bought the bearings yesterday.

Hey Jon can you update me on the list i paid the balance

[MFactory]

Sorry, forgot to update on our website. Cost for the bolts is an extra $20 for those who were not part of the group buy (i.e pre Jan 09). This puts the final cost of the LSD at $669.95 + $30 shipping for those who order from this point forward.

For Non-US Addresses (except Canada), your LSD's will be shipped out directly from our Asia-Pac Office rather than the US. This includes Europe/Aus/NZ. I will send out a final email next week to everyone to reconfirm their shipping addresses.

Thanks guys, and please accept my sincerest apologies for the rather long delay in getting these from concept to production.

If these are as good as the ones the Honda drivers use, I think the wait will be well worth it.

[Hot_Wheels]

Hey Mfactory i just got a noticed that you refunded my paymet for 100 is there a reason or was it accident?

Thanks
Rick

Regarding the shipping address. As you say, please get the address confirmed before shipping. Personally i got a new address, since this GB started.....

[smoke187]

is the site going to be updated to list bearings and the bolt kit for when i am ready to buy mine?

[MFactory]

Site has been updated, with the price of the LSD now reflecting the cost of the included bolts.

For the bearings, we have still to work out a price for these, but they are an oem part that you can get from most places.
