Fortune Auto Black Friday **MEGA COILOVER** SCRATCH & DENT SALE!!! Nov 23rd - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Nick@Fortune-Auto · 11-15-2012, 01:15 PM

This past year we have attended a lot of shows and races/events displaying our products.

Most of these demo products are new and unused however they have been slightly scratched or dinged. Its time to replace those products with new ones for 2013.

Good news is that a few lucky people will get some seriously amazing deals.
Bad news is the quantities are VERY limited.

Just an example of some of the items we will have for sale:

500 series s13 coilovers: slightly scratched springs and lower mounts (just 2 sets)
500 series s14 coilovers: scratched lower mounts (just 1 set)
510 series Evo X coilovers: scratched lower mounts and top hats (just 1 set)
500 series Evo 8 coilovers: scratched lower mounts and top hats (just 1 set)
500 series BRZ coilovers: scratched lower mounts (just 1 set)
500 series Subaru coilovers: scratched lower mounts (just 1 set)
Swift springs in many rates

Pricing and the ability to purchase these parts will be available on our website
Nov 23rd at 12:01 am sharp.
The sale will last for 3 days but we suspect everything will sell out the first hour. (Last year all coilovers sold out in 10 minutes!) Make sure you get in on this!!

Check this link at 12:01am EASTERN TIME on the 23rd or click the banner above!

We really apologize for what happened yesterday, Unfortunately it was all out of our control. Due to having a DDOS attack on the servers and excessively high traffic to our site, many people were unable to even view our site as random ip addresses were getting blocked.

Furthermore our black Friday page was supposed to trigger at 12:01 am. For some reason the site glitched and the black Friday page went live a few hours before schedule. Then the shopping carts were not working correctly showing when items are sold out.

So basically the 2 sets that were 50% off were getting purchased multiple times by different people, since those items were not selling out on the shopping carts. We had to refund numerous people. Understandably those people were upset and the people that were waiting till 12:01 were upset.

Lastly we could not access the back end of the website to change the page or even shut it down. We have only been able to gain access to login on the back end roughly 30 minutes ago. So finally we were able to manually go in and show that all items were sold out.

The last thing I want to say is that these heavily discounted sets were not some type of hoax or ploy to get people to the site. The 2 people that got those sets are actually Zilvians.

We really apologize for these events and will be upgrading our website to a more robust solution so this never happens again.

Got rucas and toe arms last year during this sale. Good prices. Might try and snag a set of tension rods if they're available.

ksharp · 11-17-2012, 12:23 AM

Sorry we do not

JonathanPrem · 11-18-2012, 04:29 PM

sorry im super noob. Whats the spring rate on these scratched/dented ones or do we get to choose them?

Nick@Fortune-Auto · 11-19-2012, 10:30 AM

The rates standard are 7/6, you can also go to 8/6 or 8/7

JonathanPrem · 11-19-2012, 02:27 PM

would higher spring rate be more

Nick@Fortune-Auto · 11-19-2012, 07:59 PM

It will not, just be aware valving is for 7/6, but you can request any rates you want

krowles · 11-19-2012, 02:35 PM

Will be watching

*fliprayzin240sx* · 11-20-2012, 07:40 PM

So you guys wont revalve these if requested, even for some extra fee?

Nick@Fortune-Auto · 11-21-2012, 10:48 AM

The shocks are sold as is internally,
Revalving costs $400 and then that negates the special pricing.

raz0rbladez909 · 11-21-2012, 12:34 PM

I'm assuming the BRZ coilovers are the same as for the FRS? Or are they different spring rates?

Nick@Fortune-Auto · 11-22-2012, 03:57 PM

They are exactly the same

Nick@Fortune-Auto · 11-22-2012, 04:03 PM

We actually have been having some issues with our server today. In short we had a DDOS attack. So not everyone can view our site. If you plan on ordering for black Friday and can not view our site. You can do it with a smart phone. We are very sorry for the inconvenience.
