Hel Thermostatic Oil Cooler Kit Group Buy!

[PM-R33]

Got an email back last night after seeing what we could do to speed things up.

The fittings they use are actually manufactured by Speedflow in Australia for them. I have the part numbers for the fittings.

So maybe I should email Speedflow and see if we can buy the fittings ourselves or something and Hel will pick up the bill?

i am happy to wait for the whole kit to be delivered, my cars not going anywhere for a long time.

Dam another delay

I'm really keen to have black fittings but I also want the kit asap. Hmmmmm i'll wait and see what they come back with.

A free braided brake kit would be pretty sweet

I'm happy with the blue/red fittings, doesnt bother me what color they are.

Can mine be sent out?

PM replied Paul. I'll get them to send yours out (and any one else that doesn't care about the red/blue fittings).

I'll email speedflow today about the fittings to see what the go is. Maybe they can send them all out to every one or something.

We need 2 x 101-08 and 2x 103-08 each in black.

I'm happy to wait for black fittings.

& would prefer not to have to get black fittings put on myself...

If they're really sorry a free clutch line wouldn't go astray

Yeah! Compensation is in order! Hit them up Phil!!! Although, I already have their braided brake lines haha

Maybe ship the parts to Speedflow, get Speedflow to fit them and ship them to our locations. All insured incase they go missing/get damaged for any reason. Just seems stupid to wait for parts in Australia to be shipped to the UK to be fitted there and then wait to be shipped back to us in Australia.

I'm able to wait, not happy but I "need" the black connectors more then I "need" the cooler to be installed urgently.

Appreciate all your effort.

[PM-R33]

Good idea. Will hit them up with that one. Thanks for your patience guys. I've decided this is going to be the last group buy I do, just not worth these headaches anymore. Between this and the GTR pedal drama i've had enough.

[bored33]

Well I think you do a good job Phil. The fact that you keep us informed is all I ask for when waiting for parts to arrive. Anything else is pretty much out of your hands and the fact that "sh*t happens" is something we have to deal with.

[PM-R33]

Thanks for that man. Appreciate it.

[J34]

It's a shame your not going to be doing anymore group buys i've been saving hopeing a diff group buy comes up soon haha.

Really appreciate all your efforts in putting these together and following everything through to the end.

I just cant believe how these places can't handle putting together a box of parts and posting them out, you do all the hard work, finding buyers getting the funds together and sending each part out individually.

[PM-R33]

Yep it blows my mind aswell.

Anyway I am still waiting to hear back from Speedflow to see what they say and also to hear back from Hel to see what would be the best way to go about this whole thing if we get the fittings directly through Speedflow.

Also finding out if the red/blue fittings are actually allready attached to the braided lines since in the photos of the kits, they are seperate. This would make it a bit easier since we wouldn't have to remove them.

I guess its hard being the middle man, but what you have been doing is helping out fellow SAUers with great deals.

If only they were on the ball like you are there would be no problems

Don't give up, just find a better dealer. I think I've found one or two in VIC who seem to be doing very good deals. for pads/ rotors/brake kits.

[SimonR32]

Keen just for mine to be sent out now please!

Don't bother with the black fittings, if they offer compensation it would be appreciated

[PM-R33]

Ok i'll let them know to send yours aswell.

[ibz]

Mate you've done a good job putting this group buy together, its not your fault companies stuff up the order....

But i'm also keen on just getting it sent out, black, red or blue fittings doesnt bother me... But yea i agree with the others, ask for compensation...

[typevu]

Ask for a massive discounted price for those oil cooler covers or even an oil filter relocator discounted

[PM-R33]

Guys one of the guys has asked for a refund (which is completely understandable) however due to the cost of these, I simply can't afford to refund out of my own pocket. So if some one doesn't mind waiting to see this through they can take his spot. Otherwise I'll have to hit up Hel for a refund.
