There has been quite a bit of interest for them again lately.. If you can get 4-5 people Interested I'm sure you can do it. Nothing against you or anything, but if you ask Eug to organise it ONCE YOU HAVE 4-5 serious buyers lol, because he's done many many trades and is someone who I'd trust and also he did the last group buy with huge success.

[GTS4WD]

Yeah.. Eug is your man..

I heard there were problems with the company.. payment? shipping? something like that..

See if he would be kind enough to organise another one.. or get the details off him and do it urself..

[Eug]

awww feel the love... thanks for the vote of trust guys.

i may do organize another if there's enough interest, might even have to ask for a deposit from those interested just to make sure no one backs out again last minute.

i ran two separate buys, the issues that arose them were:

- some people were quick to agree, and oh so slow to front up with cash (you are only going to make it more expensive for the others).

- being an international transaction there are delays in monies being transferred and shipment (as an example nengun can take up to 6 months for delivery).

- coby manufacture them on an order basis, so there are delays in that aspect.

- then there's time delays in movement from coby to my contact, then from my supplier to the hp coaters and then back to the contact. and we all know how punctual mechanics/welders/anyone in the business is.

- one of the main concerns i had was in the communication with my supplier, they did have server issues and weren't getting my emails. nothing a few international calls couldn't sort out.

- the second main concern was Glyn (chicane)'s extractors, his set were the only ones that were hp coated and thus came alot later than the rest, not to mention the gasket wasn't included in the initial delivery. this was promptly fixed via express, without extra charges.

turn around time your looking 2-3 months from the date you deposit the money into my account (assuming everyone deposits, and i don't have to run around trying to find an extra buyer to maintain the cheap costs).

1 week for money to clear from us into their international bank account

2-3 weeks for manufacture

1 week back to supplier

2 weeks at the hp coaters

1 week back to supplier

1-2 weeks for delivery & customs

give or take, and dependent on how many orders we put through.

that said, if we order now the expected delivery will hit around christmas time - and as we all know from prior experience, i'd like to avoid that.

cheers

i would organise 1 but im currently still in school and dont really have much time...i wouldnt have any problem with depositing money aslong as i know im going to get my extractors....

what about partsco i got quoted $360 to be delivered is that who you went through

well what ever happens i'll be 100% down to be in a group buy with extractors

just want to know if there was one with 4buyers how much would i end up spending all up???

[Eug]

time is certainly something you would need to organize a group buy, as well as being prepared to invest a few bucks here and there. making calls, getting quotes, organizing who, what and where, etc.

partsco was my supplier/contact -correct. we have an established relationship; the following was our given deal. you may or may not get the same prices, however do not expect to get the same as over AUD$3-4K worth has passed through my hands to them.

also the increase in strength in the AUD should see lower prices again.

as of oct 2006:

shipment options

International Express, 1-3 days (AUD$100.00)

International Air, 3-6 days (AUD$70.00)

International Economy, 10-15 days (AUD$60.00)

hpc coating

one set of headers (AUD$170)

1-3 buyers

D12 rb20/25de headers (AUD$220)

D5 rb30e headers (AUD$220)

F124 gasket (AUD$15)

4+ buyers

D12 Headers (AUD$180)

D5 rb30e headers (AUD$180)

F124 gasket (AUD$15)

as you can see we made savings of ~$100 each!

[inthisglass]

Been trying to find some to buy for ages.

If there is a group buy im definatley in.

[GTS4WD]

oh!.. Its so tempting!..

I really want those rb30 headers!..

Im just trying to justify the money for the build..

Oh god.. I gotta lay off the drinking.. lol..

then I WOULD go for the 25 heders..

and to make matters worse.. I spent some money on a set of coilovers.. the price was too good to resist..

the bloke with the rb30 shot peened rods and ARP bolts isnt liking the fact he has to send.. I have a feeling thats turned sour..

[UNR33L]

you could just go to where i got mine done (see thread 'difference in extractors') for pics, was some place in furntree gully so not far from you, they seem like good extractors to me and people say so ?? :s

[inthisglass]

Come on we need some one else. we have 3 people in. some one else out there must want some more responsivness out of there machine.

and what does the hpc coating do exactly?

[R33 Ribby]

Hey Guys I am interested in getting extractors for my Rb25de if you guys need anouther buyer i would be in. ive got the money and everything so if you need numbers i wolud like to be included??

[GTS4WD]

IF someone who has acctuallt installed these onto their RB25DE gives me a run down on how it improved their responce.. Ill be in too

i'll send a few emails around to see what we can do about the extractors. no promises.

i would still say to hold off until the new year, christmas holidays is not going to be fun for manufacturing and delivery

[GTS4WD]

[inthisglass]

would greatly appriciate any help you can offer us eug.

if its going to take a long time to get them over the christmas period wont it matter if we order now and get them say early 08 instead of waiting to order in 08?

anyway, looking forward to when it all gets rolling.
