New generation of Xmods?
 
1 Attachment(s)
Are we already seeing the new generation changes on the Xmods like we did with the Zip Zaps?

Car on the left is one of the first Skylines, car on left is later Civic chassis'. Notice the receiver crystal on the older Skyline is sitting taller than the Civic. I checked this against my newer Skylines and the new ones are sitting low. This may have something to do with everyone having problems with their Skylines. Possible that RS noticed something wrong and fixed it?

i noticed that too between my civic and skyline, i duno but i got my skyline like 2 weeks ago and i got my rsx and civic like 3 or 4 days ago and i noticed i havent had any problems at all with them and ive had a few problems with the skyline and even had to return it once. o well thats good tho right, they are getting it toghether

Yeah, my newer Skylines have the newer crystal plugs in them.

when you think about it, it took longer for zip zaps to improve,xmods guys are pretty fast.....i guess because they are selling well and a lot of people were returning them.

Also, as aperson mentioned in his thread, the plug is made differently too.

4G63T 11-16-2003 09:35 PM

it really feels good that they are improving them,because let's face it they weren't the greatest..but still its only 50 dollars.

my red supra which i bought a couple hours after they took it out of the shipment has the lower crystal plug

aperson 11-16-2003 09:40 PM

if you look closely at the crystal plugs, the new one has cylinders that are 1 piece instead of two and are curled out on top. so they look like a made piece. the only downside is that you cant adjust them if they get loose

4G63T 11-16-2003 09:42 PM

so does this mean the new xmods are better?

S K Y L I N 3 11-16-2003 09:51 PM

i got my skyline last week does that mean its different than the old ones

aperson 11-16-2003 10:00 PM

not necessarilily. check the crystal plug. if it has two metal contacts in each hole you are most likely to have a problem but if there are silver contacts in the holes they are the newer ones. and yes the newer ones are better because they shouldnt have as many problems as the old skylines had.
