Hi guys!

Group buys have proven a success for me in the past, (thanks again Nath for the tint a car day :rofl:) so I'd thought I'd try to organise another one to save me money again.

Well, I need a turbo timer, and I've managed to get store to agree to a group buy of those Apexi pen turbo timers. I'm sure you all know which one I'm referring to.

Anyway, the deal is, $150 new (eg in box etc etc..) for 5 or more. Well, I'm getting one, so all I need are four more guys. He mentioned that the next price discount is if we get 10 guys. Don't know how much off, I presume a few bucks, but hey, depending on interest, who knows.

So yeah, tell me your thoughts..... I need one, and from what I can gather, these usually go for more than $150. I guess I'll have to get them, but of course I can ship them out if you don't mind paying for shipping.

Oh, a note to the moderators, no I'm not a business, just looking to save me some money.... Thanks all! :D

Hey, doing some investigation for a guy, and this is what I found.

New parts list are out on the Apexi website

http://www.apexi-usa.com/pricelist.asp?click=1

Check out the price list for part 405-A011, its $US119! Hmmm, that sounds a bit steep to me.....I guess that must be RRP.

But as for a pic, check out http://www.apexi-usa.com/electronics_timer.asp

Gives you photos and specs....

As for prices in the past, I did a search here and guys have been wanting 200 bucks for them....I think he eventually sold for 180 anyway....

Hope this helps.

Thanks

hi just saw this thread i fink you can buy it from ebay cheaper...

also i think the list on the apexi website hasn't been update... as it was dated.. effective a year ago.... i saw it on ebay for $75USD who should work out less then 150 a piece... though that hasn't included shipping but maybe a group of ten buys could also reduce the intial price :D so yeah just helping out... not to burst any bubbles or anythin...:(

Thanks zero.......hmm, let me check ebay then..... no worries, always after a bargin.

The only thing is, I've had pretty disasterous experiences with ebay. (eg bought a pioneer HU from the states. the deh8150, but the states versions. Anyway the OEL display was phucked and had to get the screen fixed............. but get this, because the US had a different model number, even tho its the same phucken thing, had to get the part imported..........ended up costing me 200 bucks more than if I had bought it here!!! :( )

So yeah no more ebay for me thanks......... I'm mean USD75 may be cheaper, but after I factor in shipping and uncertainty and all that shite, come to think of it, I rather pick it up myself........ Nevertheless, thanks for the tip, but given the unpredicatability of sellers on ebay, I think I'll stay. Any others tho, please feel free to try ebay. :D

Oh, I'm in Melb by the way, so is the shop, so yeah, unless you can make it down, again, I have no issue in sending it over, as long as I can get the numbers to help me get the discount.

Thanks.

:D npz.. just to help out thats all... i got a t/t already so i dont need it so just helping out u guys... i personally have tried ebay bought a kenwood h/u aswell from USA it arrived fine everything was a smooth transaction. so i guess its just the supplier... try ask the seller some questions see what they are like but anyways its up to u guys all the best fellas!!:(

Hey Hippy!

Yeah, I too wouldnt mind the others you mentioned, however no shop would offer a group buy thing on those! Well, not at that much of a discounted rate

Guess wouldnt mind getting in from Jap, but that means I have to import, wait, etc etc etc......... cant be phcuked! :D

these things aren't hard to get ... so a greenline or nengun would have them easily .. plus i dont' think people would be scared in handing over about 100 bucks or so ... cause i think thats all ur lookin at for a greddy ... well maybe about 130 i think ...

most timers have the auto sense thing where it leaves the car on for longer ... usually not because u drive it harder ... just that u drive it longer and speed ... i know mine does this ... i think its much better than the apex one ... it has all these other features like speed monitoring , ie warning for speeding over a set speed .. and the list goes on ... great timer for the price ... i'm too lazy to find an official greddy site so heres an ebay auction :(

yeah i like it for the extra features of speedometer and battery voltage reports ... ie do you have a big sound system?? :(

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
