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.

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..

awww feel the love... :P 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

eug

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???

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!

oh!.. Its so tempting!..

I really want those rb30 headers!..

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

I have a feeling Ill have to miss this one..

Save for a few weeks.. pay off my uni accomodation.. and see whats left.

i'll forgive you it was late when you posted, but you need to wake up cris!

rb30 headers for the single cam head :dry:

and i'll agree with you on the uni front! taking all our money!

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..

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

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

exellent,

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.

karl.

    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
    • I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.
    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
