hawairish Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Ahh, I see! Yeah, mine from the 2005 is flat the entire center section. Nissan has a new part that supersedes the original, I'm hoping it is beefier. The original does look like a weak link. Makes sense on the superseded part. Hopefully it is better. Quote from Lokka; "Good to here you've got so many numbers. We will have to issue a new voucher code, and we'll make it $249. I'll let you know when it's processed. It will run for a month, to give guys time to get their orders in. (We will just check them off the list of names you give us too, so keep us up to date.)" What a deal. To be sure, they will do that price for the R200 version?? I'm thinking I might pick up a pair of them...already got an extra R200 in the garage, and will have another on Sunday. Might be easier to sell them pre-locked... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesterB Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 The older gen is supposed to be included, yeah. Price is crazy, this buy got big! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesterB Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 I've been keeping an eye out for an R180A near me, too. Plenty of guys doing Titan swaps selling them, but shipping is crazy with such a heavy item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawairish Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Will have to think about it over the weekend then. Have they issued a voucher for the $259? Maybe I could test that at their website to confirm. No local JYs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6turbo4 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Lester. I can't see where you are. I have an R180 out of an 06 frontier in Charlotte NC if you are near me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebelord Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 So you have to email out the code and they cross check the order ne with the list? Sent from fat fingers on S6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesterB Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 That's what it looks like to me. I guess that means we need to put our forum handle in the notes of the order? I'm not sure how else they would cross check it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawairish Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 They'd probably just count the number of people that use the discount code, though I'd think that mean they wouldn't ship anything until the quota was met. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesterB Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 I asked about that initially, and I don't think it's the case, but they never did answer. I'll investigate some of the previous group buys and see what I can figure out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesterB Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 They might. It looks like they held for a bit on the last group buy, maybe a week or so? I will ask that one again and let everyone know what to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesterB Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 Lokka has confirmed that they do not have a locker for the 4 pinion R200. Anyone who isn't sure which they have can give Lokka the month and year of manufacture and they will let you know. Unfortunate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechanicalbaron Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Got a email from lokka today confirming that they do not make one for a 4 pinion r200 diff. Guess I need to find one with 2 pinion or a welder. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesterB Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 New message from Lokka, Hi Dustin, We need to know which model vehicle's they have, are you able to get this for us? We want to give our manufacturing guys the heads up so they can get stock levels up ready for the orders and we can apply the code to the right models. Just found out the code will be up for use for 7 days, we will let you know the dates once sorted. Cheers JD Would anyone interested please message me your model and year of manufacture?

hawairish Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 A 7-day discount window? WTH is that about? What happens if not everyone on the list buys within at window? Sounds like these guys have some other agenda. They're going to manufacture a bunch of Nissan Lokka's on a whim to re-stock supply like there's some ridiculously steady demand that they have to be prepared for within a week? BS. I have whatever vehicle they think uses their p/n NIS-FO-182 (but basically an 02 and 04 Pathfinder). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesterB Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 I'm asking them to extend that 7 days, even two weeks seems short to me, but at least that should let most people get through a pay period. I know I'll need to. I'm guessing they don't have enough stock to cover our orders. Hopefully that doesn't equate to a crazy wait time. I'm going to ask for an estimate on that, too. I think it took two weeks for the first people in the last Lokka group buy to get their locker, which isn't terrible from Australia, but there were under twenty people in that one, almost 50 on this one. I wonder if they don't manufacture until they get an order? They don't seem like a small enough company for that, but maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawairish Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Two weeks would be better...but that was my exact concern. For a lot of people, especially for non-essential vehicle parts, this is very much an impulse buy. I'm glad to see so much interest though. I know they keep some sort of decent inventory. We bought two of the R50 kits on the same day and they arrived in about 4 days from AUS, no joke. I can't get stuff from eBay in our own country to arrive within 4 days. But I think if everyone knows up-front what the terms of this sale is, it'll be far more successful for us and them. I'd love to see this as some sort of eye-opener for them (and other manufacturers). Thanks for staying on top of this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesterB Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 Well, they're becoming more communicative as we near the end. Hi Dustin, No worries, organizing the code, will let you know when activated. We'll let it run for a couple of weeks, so keep putting it out there. Cheers JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmoore4512 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Not a bad deal!I have read good reviews on these, but one day I will rip my IFS out and put that fresh D44 in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesterB Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 So here's a bump now that everyone knows just how fast these things arrive, and a code for anyone interested: Path15 Order up, folks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebelord Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 (edited) Been so busy with work. I ordered up mine about a week ago. So busy with work. I am in no rush for it. Everyone else get in it? Edited September 6, 2015 by Rebelord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMike Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Not on my end. On the invoice the value was listed as 198.00, I assume the rest is shipping and related costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebelord Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Mine came in today. That was fast. Question: Thought this kit was supposed to come with a new HD cross shaft? Not in mine at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's supposed to on yours. Came with the two I received the other month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
