on there site they were $206

they said: You are looking at around $70 to air freight the D12's to Aust and you would

need to allow 3-10 days (as quoted by NZ Post).

i think if you check their site in NZD they state NZD$275, i think their converter is out of date.

ill be in as well EUG depending on price.

january sounds good so i got some time to save woo!

^ i was quoted by coby in NZ $310 delivered.

i am not sure why everyone has been given different prices. i have been given a figure of $NZD250 (for extractors including gasket), we are negotiating the freight options.

if you can get them for NZD$310 delivered, then there's no real need for the group buy. go for it i say! you'd only be saving $10-20 with the GB.

however i will keep everyone advised as the info comes to me.

greg! i remember those ghetto aluminum foil pics! haha...

with the current prices being offered for hp coating, i'd personally advise against it - even though i do rate it.

here's the amended prices with MicR33 pulling out, response as follows;

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

d12 extractors AUD$205

gaskets AUD$10

international air freight (3-10 days*) AUD$70

international economy (10-25 days*) AUD$60

*working days

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

judging by the quotes you guys got, it's about a AUD$50~80 saving.

i am awaiting confirmation on the variable outlet sizes and choice in colours.

let me know how everyone wishes to proceed, and this should be the first on order for the new year.

so its $285 all up.. Will it cost anymore to get them to W.A?

just let us know when you need the deposit etc.

cheers

Karl

correct, they are delivered from NZ straight to your door and won't cost anymore than stated - this minimizes hassles.

i won't ask for a deposit until i get a solid confirmation from everyone.

this is what they look like in the standard coby orange paint.

also i have requested an option in outlet sizes of 2.25" or 2.50", as well as an option of black or orange, like last time it should be free (i will confirm). so regardless of your catback size, we should be able to work something out.

as i get a good to go from everyone here, i will set up a thread in the GB section and we can go from there.

Eugene thanks heaps for this

i was hoping to get a GB started off this thread

thanks for all the time you have put in organising everything im definately in

ay chance of slightly lower prices if we get more people or is that lowest?

still all good though.

no worries, they are pretty difficult to get if no one can organize them. figure that helping everyone out is the least i can do.

if you guys give me more people, it will give me more leverage to bargin with. i had 6-7 people per buy last round. here we are struggling to make 4.

the headers themselves are a bargin, it's the freight that's the killer - they still work out in the end.

it could be cheaper to get them all shipped to one location (i.e. me), but then the cost and time involved for me to send them to everyone individually would just be a nightmare.

hi, i will prob also get some, just wondering its 285 for everything for rb25? and does anyone know around how much they cost to get fitted?

$285 will get you a d12 extractor (suitable for rb20 and rb25) and gasket with estimated 3-10 working day delivery from partsco to your front door.

fitment depends on how mechanically minded you are. they are easy to fit yourself, and if you can weld even better. otherwise it depends on the going rate of your local exhaust shop. i had mine fitted for $250 (including new flange, gasket, new head studs).

where abouts in melbourne are you in...im located s.e suburbs so if its cheaper for me to pick them up then i will if it means saving $$$ but yeah hopefully we get 6+ buyers im sure it will get more attention in the GB section.

where do you buy the new head studs, flange and gaskets from? Will most exhaust shops have what we need?

i know a 2.5inch gasket is easy to come buy but its the head studs im really asking about.

I dont see the point in the different colour choice as most people will get them heat wrapped or coated anyway..

anyway, big thumbs up to eug, its exiting to see progress. :w00t:

who said i was located in melbourne? :w00t: no one is picking anything up from me, even in the last buy brisbane'rs had them delivered to their doorstep, it will cost the same individually to get to me as it does directly to you.

i was implying that if they ALL got sent to me, i.e. on a crate or something - then there might be some savings.

if you'd like to get some cheaper prices, try to find some more buyers so i have grounds to bargin with them.

head studs can be bought from any exhaust shop (even nissan i believe). flange and gaskets also from the exhaust shop.

correct, any half decent workshop will be able to supply everything, even the gasket glue.

if you want to save some dosh, remove your old headers - fit the new headers on and mark where you'd want the new flange to be in relation to the cat. remove it all and bring it to an exhaust shop (or even someone who knows how to tig) and bob's your uncle. apart from the welding, it's all bolt in bolt out.

i would have done it myself too, but what would have taken them a couple of hours on the hoist would have taken me a day.

there might have been issues previously with the orange paint melting off (greg? can you elaborate here). some people didn't get them heat wrapped nor hp coated, and would rather a black set of headers than orange - i'm still negotiating if it'll be free, a minor issue really.

i don't do things by halves karl :)

yes.. Im in.. deffinately..

If we receive them mid-late Jan.. I may be able to save and get some sort of ECU sorted out and funded to afford a re-tune too :ninja:

I have a feeling that heat wrapping those headers is going to be a BIATCH!

ok, that's 4... will everyone be ready with the group buy running till early-mid decemeber. (that way we dont have people pulling out afterwards saying they are poor from christmas?)

we can place the order and fingers crossed, timing it correctly we should just sneak in after the christmas rush.

    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard 
    • Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
    • So my car is finally back from paint! This took an absolutely insane amount of work and should get it's own build thread - but I didn't build it. It was completed by Troy @ https://scalekustoms.com.au/ I originally bought the AOSHIMA URAS Type R kit while I was in Japan, it's supposed to look like this when assembled: Now, I thought that was cool enough until I opened the box with Dismay, as there's no way I could possibly have completed it. The thing is 1/24 and has details down to the steering wheel horn button, which is a 2mm diameter sticker. I originally wondered if someone could make it at all, as is - But then things got a little carried away. It's worth noting that the model does not have an openable bonne, let alone engine bay, OR an openable boot. - Troy has worked wonders with 3D printer and presumably better eyes than I will ever have. My photos suck, so I will post up some of his in-progress ones he sent to me during the way. Unsuprisingly, he is very detailed. A lot of these are out of order. But he: 1) Made a LS engine and an engine bay appear out of thin air 2) Made the bonnet removable 3) Printed the rims I will buy in the future (or any rim you want) 4) Printed and added the wing that is going on 5) Tinted my back windows as this is what my car has IRL (privacy glass) 6) Added a licence plate. 7) Somehow did the interior 8) 3D Printed my actual seats 9) Made the exhaust under the car connect even though this is likely invisible. 10) Created a boot with my fking battery box, power steering reservoir, subwoofer and toolboxes back there. To say it's insane is an understatement. And I f**ked it all up because when I was re-mounting the wing (it broke in transit) I spilled glue everywhere and ripped paint up and Gregged the rear half of the car. Which about makes sense. Also, this arrived on the same day. Quite the change from: I spent 16 hours per day over the next 3 days pre-christmas putting the interior back together, mounting lip, fixing various bodykit problems with window mouldings, etc. and servicing, rebuilding my 370z brakes to go on the car 'soon', messing with heights to check clearances for new wheels, etc. I also had a foray into mounting wiper-mounted washer jets which was an absolute disaster. The bodyshop has welded (and painted) over the stock jet locations for reasons unknown to everybody (i.e they forgot) I also wanted to wire in the oil pressure sensor on Christmas Eve which was a BAD IDEA. You do not know terror like pulling your ECU apart, pinning in half-fitting pins that aren't the right ones, but trying anyway because it's Christmas eve, putting your ECU back together and having a no-start condition with a fuel pump not priming. Then you undo all your work and the fuel pump still doesn't prime. So after all that terror and horror and pain and tedious disassembly, the issue was the relay in the boot which seems to have died/stuck when I was turning the car off and on about 700 times testing shitty washer jets. I also re-wired the fuel pump power plug which fell apart in my hands. I am very happy I had 3 extra pre-made ones from a few posts/last Christmas's breakdown. https://bluewireautomotive.com/products/10-x-pcm-ecm-ecu-terminals I have put an order for these in, so I can actually add the pins to the ECU properly. The commodore ECU does not have the pins for Oil Pressure via ODB2. However the ECU can support it if you create the pins and wire them in. So for round two, and somehow attempting to route that into the engine bay through my impossible engine bay grommet is a fight for another day. It's 40C in Melbourne tomorrow, I am half tempted to drive the car with the aircon on to deliver presents to my partner's family and see if it helps with the overheating-on-40C-days-in-traffic-with-aircon-on-only issue that the vents were intended to solve. Do I feel lucky?
    • Yes, while being... strictly unnecessary. Tuning is a bit like quantum physics. You don't need to understand what Schroedinger's equation actually means. You just need to run the computation and accept the answers. With tuning, you just push page up/down until the exhaust tells you that you've got the fuel right. The VE can stay hidden behind the curtain like the Wizard of Oz and you'll never need to know what he looked like.
    • The second part yes, the first part about easy VE calculation is something I've seen a few people talk about online.
