Awesome! So im guessing I can't purchase the JDM front without the turn signals and grille. I already have these items and dont need them again.

[RarisRX-7]

awesome, aluminum DS for less than the steel piece. DEF in for the DS and 99 spec fascia.

[keepupp]

Great price on the intercoolers. I ordered mine already!

[D-Bay]

You could buy it directly from Z1 for $294 without any of the extras. I think these ones are coming from them too because the shipping is the same. It's a great deal for other people on the GB though, IF you don't want to deal with the mesh yourself.

[300ZetaX]

Great deals on the intercoolers and 1pc driveshaft but I was expecting a better deal on the fascias...after all you can get one from Coz at a everyday low price of $390. $15 less don't seen like much of a GB!

[Perrysan greyZ32NA]

Yeah, wondering the same about the no grill option.....

[tomekr2k]

$285 for shipping is a little too steep for me....................... ..... :(

The $390 @ czp is a price drop in response to, or at least in anticipation of this group buy. Not so long ago czp had this package listed in the $500s, for that matter everyone did. These GBs are actually driving prices down across the board as other vendors try to compete and not loose all their sales on an item during the group buy. You the consumer wins, but instead you criticize the 3ZC Store for not being able to do more? We negotiate the best deals we can based on a large volume of sales in a short period of time. We try to make sure that the final prices we are able to offer are considerably better than they are listed anywhere else. That is not to say that after we post our prices that another vendor can't decide they will drop there prices down to near cost to match. They may have excess inventory or something. We do not have a JDM fascia tree growing out back, these parts cost us all a fixed amount. When things get competitive margins narrow as vendors get closer and closer to selling items at their cost.

[TnkrsToyCo]

Wouldn't ya know it, I already have all the GB's this month. Maybe I can squeeze out another Fascia and stash it.

I personally think you are doing a great job in what can easily be considered a selfless act of kindness for the members of this forum. I do have one concern, I have watched the price on the group buy fascia drop over the last 2 days from $395 initially, to $375 last evening and when I checked again this morning the price is currently $365. I'm ready to order the fascia but are there any assurances the prices won't change any further for the month of February or a possible refund of the difference in the event a price change does occur during the group buy?

Thanks again for all your hardwork N20Z!!!!

After seeing the price drop by some competitors after GB prices were posted, we were able to go back and renegotiate a little better pricing. No one has purchased a fascia yet so this poses no problems. We've never changed pricing in the midst of a GB once there have been purchases, however rest assured that if we did we would refund the difference.

[moonlite5hadow]

AWESOME! jdm front. but i have no job and therefore broke. so no whoop-de-doo for me...

[Zya8187]

Yeah, I already have all of these but those intercoolers are a great deal!

[lulerian]

Good timing on the jdm front girlfriend hit a dog and tore up my TT front so will grab one of these on payday.

As always, Thank you for the quick and detailed responses! Will be placing my order on Friday!

Friday+payday= new jdm front fascia :woot:

N20Z,
At no giving point was my comment made to criticize the efforts of this forum. I have been monitoring the prices of these fascias for some time now since my Z will be going in the shop in a couple of weeks and I can tell you these prices have been this low for some time. My concern was that I believe the best possible price should be posted when the GB's are posted so that buyers like myself who are ready to purchase on the first day can do it with peace of mind and not have to place their order elsewhere.

[TheOrteganator]

Thanks! I just ordered mine yesterday and it shipped today. I almost ordered it when the price was higher but I luckily didn't get around to it until yesterday.

I was originally planning to do it without the mesh grille but this is such a great deal I decided to go ahead and get the whole package.

Now I just need to get a fender and go have the car painted with insurance money from the d-bag who thought it was a good idea to change lanes into me.

[ICIEST1]

Very nice price on the IC's and I am def going to pick up the JDM front..But I live 10 minutes from Z1 and since they handle the drop shipments, I dont need mine shipped therefore the paying 95 dollars to ship it 10 minutes is nuts...Can I get rid of the shipping cost and just pay the 270???

[ICIEST1]

My apologies for the price mistake I thought it was 365 shipped but neway Instead of the 270 can I pay the 365 and pick it up myself??

[Spawn]

$285 for shipping is a little too steep for me....................... ..... :(

Were did you get that at. Shipping shows to be $ 95.00

[TnkrsToyCo]

He's in Canada Tim.

[dirtbiker194]

just got the email that my jdm fascia is on the way :)

[DBIR]

Hi, this is my first time buying through 3zc. I tried to purchase the GB on the intercoolers and was not able to confirm. I kept getting redirected because the merchant did not have the correct address. I'm not sure how to change this or make it right. Can someone help?

[TnkrsToyCo]

Welcome back to 3zc, first you need your profile information completely filled out in order to use the store.

You will then need to register at the store, the store registration is kept separate from the log in at the 3zc forum for security reasons.

Once you have made your purchase, the forms should walk you through the ordering. Each section ie: address/mail to or ship to, should have an edit button.

[90NA300ZX]

Wow what a steal on the intercoolers. I've never done one of these group buys before, what do i do? Just call z1 and request it? And i see on the site the intercoolers are currently being offered with the new hoses too for free, are they included in this package too, or can they be? Edit, whoops posting from my phone and didn't see the pictures the first time so now i know the intercooler kit does come with the hoses

[TnkrsToyCo]

You'll need to register in the 3zc store and order through the store. See post above you. Please DO NOT call the individual vendors the group buys are 3zc store ONLY.

[90NA300ZX]

I'm assuming since my car was originally na converted to tt i need to go with the na driveshaft but i'm really curious as to what the difference is between tt and na 2 seater driveshafts are

[TnkrsToyCo]

Check with N2OZ he can tell you all you'll need to know. I do believe the splines are the same at the tranny. And yes with the na rear you'd most likely need to use the na shaft.

[dogpile5]

the NA rear diff is 4 bolt, and the TT rear diff is 6 bolts. thx again guys, my bumper came in 2 days!

[TnkrsToyCo]

Cool thanks for the order, Justin.

[90NA300ZX]

the NA rear diff is 4 bolt, and the TT rear diff is 6 bolts. thx again guys, my bumper came in 2 days!


Good to know, thanks for the info!


I'll be placing my orders for the intercooler kit as well as the driveshaft probably this weekend. And if the bumper came in 2 days being such a HUGE package (i got mine last year...and paid full price :( ) i can only imagine how fast my items will come! Good stuff, keep up the great work with these amazing prices on group buys!

[rockchucker]

I had to go look at this thread.... I guess I will see what the delivery dude has for me soon...

[TheOrteganator]

Yeah my bumper made it to California in like 3 days. Crazy fast shipping. Now for paint.

[300znickz32]

can anyone tell me why the shipping weight is 35.5 lbs on 3zcs and 18!!!! on Z1?


for the Drive shaft

[TnkrsToyCo]

I'd say maybe Z1's is wrong.

[90NA300ZX]

I'd say maybe Z1's is wrong.



isn't it a 12 lb driveshaft?

where's the other 23 lbs on the shipping weight coming from?

[TnkrsToyCo]

I would have to check, hadn't thought about it that much.

[TnkrsToyCo]

We have to list the weight on the driveshafts higher for several reasons just so we can trick the website into charging enough to cover our costs on shipping one.

First off is dimensional weight. Our website can't calculate it, so when an item is fairly large in size we have to list it at it's dimensional weight.

Next is as a FedEx special handling charge. For some reason FedEx usually tacks on an additional $7.50 fee on our bill for every driveshaft we ship, I suppose because of the odd size. Of course the website has no way of caluculating this either.

Last is the driveshaft tube we ship the driveshafts in. Those cost us about $8 each. We try to recover at least some of that in the shipping cost.

[90NA300ZX]

makes sense, thanks for the clarification :)

a few extra bucks isn't going to stop me from saving over a hundred...and for the record i wasn't complaining, just curious lol...

[TnkrsToyCo]

It's ok, I had to get it justified for myself. I had to get hold of N20Z to find out and be sure I wasn't spinning tails.

[doomday300]

anyone got their driveshaft yet? i have yet to recieve mine...

[90NA300ZX]

Just ordered my driveshaft, intercoolers, and the AMZ urethane motor mounts last night...can't wait for my first parts delivery of the season!

[pallen]

How long will these prices be good - through the end of the month? If they dont total my car and end up having to repaint the front and I'm not broke, I may get the JDM fascia. I wont know until sometime next week though.

[TnkrsToyCo]

Midnight the last of the month.

[90NA300ZX]

well just got my intercoolers...but i'm a bit confused. I ordered them with the poly motor mounts and the driveshaft all in the same order...why didn't they all come together? wouldn't it have made sense and saved shipping money to have just one big package rather than separate ones?

[TnkrsToyCo]

Not if they come from 3 different locations.

[90NA300ZX]

oh ok makes sense...i didn't know if somewhere 3ZC had it's own stock pile of parts or if it still came through the original manufacturer/carrier of the parts and we just get a discount...


and edit, the intercoolers are HUUUUUUUUUGE compared to stock! can't wait to get 'em on and get her fixed...

[TnkrsToyCo]

We make the deals with the vendors and they are shipped from them. Some items maybe drop shipped.

Also note: any questions/problems should be addressed with us not the vendors.

[TheSlimOne]

I am all about that.. My girl bought my bumper this morning. I just had to extend her contract for another year. Good good girl

[90NA300ZX]

So i got an email from the 3zc.com store saying that my driveshaft has been shipped, and i responded asking if the motor mounts were also shipped, and i don't know if the email didn't go through since i was sending it from my phone or not, but still no response as to whether or not the mounts were included in the shipping of the driveshaft (i assumed/hoped they would be since both are from AMZ).


Not complaining, just concerned/curious...this is a very exciting time for me, so many parts coming in all at once! It's like Christmas!

[BLACKBEAST]

can anyone tell me what shipping costs for the aluminium driveshaft to Australia?

Also what is the driveshaft rated in hp or tq?

[93daytona]

Great deals on the intercoolers and 1pc driveshaft but I was expecting a better deal on the fascias...after all you can get one from Coz at a everyday low price of $390. $15 less don't seen like much of a GB!

As of 2 minutes ago, these are the prices from various vendors for the '99 fascia kit, including the bumper cover, fog light, and mesh grill:

3zc store - $365 + $95 shipping
COZ - $440 + $98 shipping
Z1 - $437 + $98 shipping
AMZ - $520 + $99 shipping

The 3zc price is much better than any others

[TnkrsToyCo]

BLACKBEAST, contact N20Z for that information.

[Logik]

decent deal on the fascia. i may be in for that.

[TnkrsToyCo]

Welcome back, Logik. Please fill out your profile information in order to use the GB's.

[CGdrivenZX]

couple weeks ago crawled under the the Z to pull my driveshaft and send the core to Z1 and buy a 1 piece, and found 2 surprises. 1 was the pool of oil from the rear main seal. the second was that the previous owner already put in a 1 pc steely! trans mount looks stock, so thinkin that's where my vibration is coming from

[90NA300ZX]

got my driveshaft and motor mounts in yesterday!


good stuff...everything looks good...very excited to see/feel/drive the final product!

[pallen]

Fascia Ordered :)

I'm feeling very "stimulated" now!

[N20Z]

February Group Buys will be available until the morning of Tuesday March 3rd. Once the March GBs are posted the February prices will no longer be available.

[doomday300]

Ordered all 3, do i get a cookie? lol

I ordered the drive shaft and inter coolers separate. Got drive shaft and inter coolers on and they're great. Drive shaft took ALL my drive line vibration away! And inter coolers where huge. Just ordered the jspec bumper! (just need the jspec tails now) :) Hope aprils groupbuy has options to vote for i need. Thanks 300zx Club

[BrysZ]

Do the stock hose work with the Z1 intercoolers or do I need to buy their hose kit? It doesn't come with the intercoolers I believe.

[KevinZtwin]

Do the stock hose work with the Z1 intercoolers or do I need to buy their hose kit? It doesn't come with the intercoolers I believe.
The stock metal piping is what you are hooking up the intercoolers to. The Z1 SMIC kit comes with all silicone couplers and clamps to hook up the intercoolers. You don't need to purchase any additional piping to install/use.

Those black hoses and clamps are what hooks the intercoolers up to the stock IC piping.

[IsThatJJ]

i'm anticipating the march group buy. i've been waiting for it all day lol. im jumping on the shifter as soon as it comes up.
