Dexter and white240,Got a response back from the seller. He said he's been selling at $110 shipped and all of them are gone. He will get them more in 6-7 weeks. Here's the price I got.

1-4 $795-15 $74

If we can get more than 4 people, price will be $74. I doubt that there'll be more than 15 people. He charges like $12-14 for S&H. If I can ship it myself to you guys via DHL, it could be $6-8. DHL distribution center is right by my work. Powered by Max sells at $110, so I think still it's a good deal. Anyway, I'll update this thread as soon as I hear from him. Other guys let me know if you want one. I'm not trying to make money or anything. I'd like to help fellow vert members.

As far as I know, this should fit on s13 coupe/hatch/vert with KA or SR since it's a copy of JDM panel.

Count me in, but if you wanted more hits I wouldn't just keep this to the vert guys.. maybe have a mod move this into the 240sx/180sx/silvia forums. or maybe not I remember they didn't do group buys anymore but this really isn't so much a group buy but a hook-up.

Keep me informed about when these become available.

Sure, I'll do.

Already tried in 240 gen forum, but people were not that interested over there and the thread just died. I want this thread to stay in this vert forum. Don't want same thing happen again. I really want Dexter, white240 and other vert members. Funny thing is when I posted in 240 gen forum, a bunch of them were available.

I've noticed that threads like this die in obscurity in the general 240sx forum, its probably because of all the same threads being duplicated again and again.I'm sure at some point in a brash attempt to gain power in Nico someone will lock all forum posting of threads until the user has passed a course and test on training toward the use of the almighty "search" button.

I'm totally down for this buy though, going SR soon and I've read the oil pan is like the SR's achilles heal.Will it come with hardware? or reuse originally stationed hardware?(I'm asking because My 240 didn't come with a plastic one, and I've never seen an metal underplate other than one for an 06 STI)

Please double check this will fit on SR or not. I don't want to give out wrong information. Here's the picture of actual plate that I installed on my car. Above picture is from the the Powered by Max website.

All you need is 1 long bolt, 4 regular bolts and 2 nuts. All 5 holes are already on the car.

I want this, but several of the bolts that held on the stock flimsy cover snapped off. Will that be an issue in mounting this one?

This is what I'm going to do. He lives right by my work, so I'll meet him, pick up the panels and ship to everyone ONCE. Yes, I can take Paypal. I'll figure out actual shipping and let you guys know. If more people want it after that, they'll have to buy directly from him. He sells on eBay all the time, so it'll be available until his stock runs out. I should have done this last time because the price that he gave me was...

1-4 $735-15 $68

Oh, well... I learned a lesson. Vert guys are cooler...

Give me your zipcode later. I'll let you know actual shipping cost. Hopefully, it'll be cheaper than what he charges($12-14).

i didn't know there was a plastic cover... cool.

of course, i'm down. i'll post this on michigannissans.com as well. i'll orchestrate from there so you don't have to worry about it. if it works out well, i'll just have you ship whatever the michigan guys want and they can pick them up from me. i doubt that i could get more than 5 people (self included) to commit, but it's a few.

keep me posted and thanks!

i don't recall: are these aluminum or stainless steel? what's the thickness? also, how did this effect engine/collant temperatures, if at all?

I think it's made of aluminum. I would say it's about 2mms thick. Not too thin or too thick. It's just about right. If you hit something, your car will go over it because of this plate. I don't think it'll get punctured easily. I also don't think it'll affect engine/collant temperatures. Actually, it covers less area than stock plastic one, so cooling should be slightly better(?). I have original OEM cover, so I'll post side by side comparison pics when I get it.

It should actually effect cooling, but only in a good way. The rad seems to cool just a little better with an undertray on it. And most of the stock under trays seem to be trashed pretty quickly
