RB20/RB25 Coby Extractors Group Buy - expressions of interest

[Greg]

just had a thought, maybe we could ask on skylinesdownunder if people on their have them (since coby and rage are NZ brands) to see which are better. anyway i gtg to work now.

[Nismodified]

oooo the options =D

i propose we tried and do some more research before committing to any particular brand

in the end though, i do believe we will all benefit immensly.

[Greg]

yeah much research needed... i'm going to start a thread on SDU

[Greg]

Update: I'm ordering this Wednesday, so for those who haven't paid yet, the last day is Tuesday, after then it will be too late.

Cheers

Any chance you can get extractor manifolds for RB25DET ?

[Greg]

hey guys, i've put my money in. wheres everyone getting theres fitted from? any ideas on pricing too.

[Greg]

i've thought about fitting some more and decided that i want to dyno my car before and after so i might get ice or BMT or somewhere like that to fit them.

ps i paid for the extractors today rockie said they should be despatched early next week so you should receive them about 2 weeks from now. thanks everyone for your quick payment.

cheers

lucky ppls ill have to wait a month or two before i can get mine done!

[NA_R33]

does neone have an approxmimate price for fitting of these?? also am getting a apexi afc fairly soon along with a high flow airfilter and will have to get the car dyno'd is dyno tuning expensive??

[_turtle_]

i think we have to take it to an exhaust place for fitting. but for tuning take it to BMT, i heard dr_drift does a good job. i plan to take the car to him.

[NA_R33]

Sorry dude, but i live in brisbane, melbournes a bit of a hike, hehe, nah i already have a place lined up to put mine on, i was just after a ball park figure for duno tuning thats all.

Hey guys,

Just a bit of an update: the exchange rate was slightly better than expected (budgeted for 1.1000 and received 1.1135) but the transfer fee was slightly more (budgeted for $20 and payed $28). They pretty much even each other out, but I ended up making a huge profit of $8

I had to pay for an extra set myself to make up the numbers, so if anyone (prefereably in melb) wants to buy it then pm me.

I think I've let most of you know already but I'm going on holidays for two weeks (leaving this saturday) so after then the best way if you need to contact me is on my mobile.

Regards

Greg

oh man ill buy em off u later on bro i will pay postage and everything is taht ok ?

[Greg]

Sorry Clint I have to be fair here, neoGT-25 asked me first about 1 hour ago so I'll give him first go at them. If he deides against it or takes forever to get the money, then you'll be next in line. Alternatively I could auction them off? j/k

[Ryno]

It cost me about $100 to get my Cobe extractors fitted, just to give you guys an idea... It took a little longer than I was expecting because they had to grind a side off all 12 of the washers, to miss the welds on the extractors.

[_turtle_]

damn, is it that troublesome? i thought that they just about bolted straight on! any exhaust place can pretty much do it right?

btw greg hasn't gone on holidays for 2 weeks, hes doing a runner with all our cash!!!!

[Ryno]

Yeah any exhaust place can do it, they also have to be welded to your existing exhaust system, as they don't bolt on at that end

[Greg]

yep its true, i'm currently in the cook islands

At the other end couldn't you just get them to weld a flange to it so it does bolt on to the cat? this would make it easier if you wanted to change your cat in the future. it sounds a bit dodgy about grinding them down, i thought they were meant to be a straight bolt on.

i had a look at the standard extractors today and they suck! piping is really small and bends obviously aren't mandrel done. also you guys should tighten your throttle cables. i took a fair bit of slack out of mine and it's much more responsive now

cheers

[Ryno]

What they could do is cut the flange off your standard extractors, weld that onto your Cobe's and bolt them in place
