Default Need a few more people for 3.9 final drive Group Buy

It's listed on AZ350Z.com
Vivid Racing is offering a group buy rate of $390 for Central 20 final drive gears. I have them in my car already. Vivid is in Phoenix (Chandler) AZ. If you would like to take advantage of this rate, PM me. I will submit a list of interested parties, and get you in touch with the point of contact there. Vivid can then get the order in from Japan.
Feel free to ask questions. I have an '03 6MT 350Z with the Central 20 gears, Nismo LSD, naturally aspirated.

What are the top speeds of each gear, this may be an incredibly stupid question, but I would love taller gears with my turbo.

I got 3 PM's from this site overnight, for a total of 6 interested parties so far. That's enough to do it!
Any others interested, PM me over the weekend and I will work through Matt Sanner at Vivid to pull it together. The cost does not include tax or shipping.
I will try to find out the shipping time and cost today.
Here's a couple links to look over in the meantime.

Received!
I am getting the details. I am checking into the price for getting them shipped from Japan by air. The next regularly scheduled delivery isn't for three months (container ship), so I'll advise when I find out how quick and how much for air freight. I'll let you know Monday at the latest.

As of today, here's the situation.
For the $390 price, we have to wait three months for the regularly scheduled shipment from Japan. I asked about the air freight, and he said add $110 per unit to get them here in a week.
That puts us right back where we started in terms of price before the group buy.
I told him that was unsatisfactory, so he is working on something more reasonable. I won't hear back until tomorrow probably. Meanwhile, there are now nine people interested, so hopefully we can apply some leverage.

No reply from Japan yesterday.
Please be patient here- several of you are ready to go right now.
I am still working on getting ten of them shipped in one box to Vivid for individual distribution to wherever you are. I am expecting to get the final word today, but the ball isn't in our end of the court right now.
