heya cara,

i ran the extractor group buy. i knew a guy who was selling his extractors since he was selling his car, but i'm not sure if he's changed his mind...

try getting in contact with this guy: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=159047

we got ours from a place over in new zealand. it's been a total nightmare for me to organize it, they aren't the best in terms of communication, and i was constantly on the phone trying to chase them up. i initially only ran one group buy, but everyone wanted a 2nd one most of them have received theirs.

we are waiting on two who opted for a slightly slower delivery method. if you really want i can PM you their web address and details, but i wouldnt be promoting their services freely after the headaches i had to deal with.

the alternative is to order a set of fujitsubo from japan, you are looking at $1600+ delivery.

another alternative is RB30 extractors (easily located within australia) and having the flanges cut off and modified to fit your exhaust ports.

cheers

hey Eug,

how hard and how much headache is there with cutting the flanges off with the RB30? is it a fair amount of work that has to be done for it to fit my RB25? does it work out cheaper to do it that way?

Thanks

Cara

cara,

any exhaust shop can cut the flanges off. hell even i could do it with an angle grinder (bit dodgy though :unsure:).

a quick break down of what's involved:

firstly, you'd have to make sure that the port sizes are at least similar or the same.

then, cut off the flanges

get flanges made up and weld them onto the RB30 ones.

it's a pretty rough method, and price wise it'd definitely work out more than the prices i managed to organize for the group buy. although if you know someone with a mig and with a bit of skills, and could snap up a set of extractors cheaply then it'd work out similar.

hope that helps

any good reputable exhaust shop would be able to do this no worries

the only thing that could cause a prob is the clearance around steering components, and the angle of attachment as the rb25 is a DOHC, whereas the rb30 is a SOHC (ie rb25 head is further out than rb30, if u get my drift)

cara,

with 4 (or more) buyers in our group buy the extractors cost AUD$185ea, plus a AUD$15ea gasket, and hp coating cost AUD$170 (optional) combine that with international delivery of approximately AUD$60-70.

you have yourself a set of basic extractors for as little as AUD$260 to a fully macked out set for AUD$430'ish.

$1200 is a rip off unless they plan on using titanium tuned length with gps system built in or something fancy.

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
