  1. Yes I believe I am. CAS and coils will be done when I return the car shortly. Not sure yet as to what option I will use for each as yet. Very keen to get it done and push the tune more.
  2. Currently looking for a R35 Brembo Brake kit or similar - these stock Brembos are rubbish now! Hit me up if you have/can source/etc.
  3. I will post some better pics soon - I have car for run in and it will be going back for a finish up / check soon (including new coils). I'm still waiting on a few finishing cosmetic items. I must say a big thank you to Benny who is a big advocate for the EFR turbo - the 8474 with the 2.7L is a response monster. Power everywhere - every gear - instant power. Its amazing. Car will be re-dynod when it goes back with new coils and I will post results after that. As a comparison to my T76 (502kw at wheels) - this kills it.it would be making more than 500kw with response and power everywhere. Extremely happy. They not as pretty as the Precision - but fark me they are amazing!
  4. I really like the shifter as it doesn't have the bulky base like the Samsonas. I am having the factory gear boot re-done in Alcantara with the opening just slightly larger to accommodate the shifter. Once fitted - will look stockish at the base with just the shifter giving away any clues of shenanigans! Mexico.mp4
  5. Yes - The current shifter PRP are selling for the Albins boxes - "Billet Sequential Shifter Unit" - is what I had to wait for. The package was sold to me as a bolt in option - no mods to tunnel required / no mod to tail shaft etc. The box itself fits amazing - mechanic said fitment was spot on - just like factory. Uses stock shafts and standard cross member to - no need to purchase different cross member. But the shifter initially supplied did not work with standard tunnel - it would need to be modded - which I was not willing to do. So that's where the drama started. Back and forth for 9 months / 3 or 4 versions - and finally we have a shifter that fits without tunnel mod. Special smaller / bent fittings are also needed to make the gearbox oil lines fit with no issue/no mods to tunnel. The actual box - is fantastic. Extremely happy. Ill post a vid of the sound !

  9. lol - already got the pool mate Its D day....... consumed with this..... Pass the albins off now - and slide over to Samsonas.... or stay with Albins..... Thanks for the recommendation Brett....... for me the big thing is how easy Jason is to deal with - and how quick he responds / communicates with me.... that gives me confidence in the event of any issues.......
  10. Thanks Ben As far as a Quaife sequential - that's what I had previously - never again.
  11. Time for a update. Sadly - trying to buy the best box money could buy has turned out to be another drama. Still don't have all the items I need to install the box - this is now just ridiculous. Going on 8 months - and cant install the box they sent me as items are missing from the package that I PAID for ! Linkage bar, adapter to fit shifter and strain gauge all MIA. Abducted by aliens it appears .. I have sat silent and said nothing this whole time - patiently waiting .. and nothing has happened... I am so over this Albins box - and parties involved. Question I put to my fellow SAU'ers is this. I have a buyer for my Albins - I can just move this box on and forget about the whole nightmare of trying to own an Albins - and order a Samsonas. I spoke with them yesterday - they were sympathetic to my situation and were keen to help - but I'm looking at 5 months wait (which for some reason doesn't even seem that bad considering how long I have waited for the Albins). Let this be a lesson to anyone looking to buy a new sequential - don't make my mistake. Is really a shame what has become of this - you spend top dollar expecting the best product, service, etc - and just get nothing. What you think boys - wait it out - or f*ckem and move onto Samsonas? Opinions? Dan
  12. They definitely not the best looking turbo. but I'm hoping the response and drive will help me over it
