Is the price 450 ish for the set and has any1 got a link to pics and can I still jump in. if so I'm back in for a black housing s1 sedan I wanna see what I'm buying tho first

This was the same thing that I was wondering. I was pretty disappointed to be told to go & read the whole thread to find the answer, I was also confused on the price thats why I asked like you have. It would have been just as quick to have answered my question. I was interested up until being told this.

Hi Paul, i have been following this link from the beginning and had been giving enough information to all as much as i can, I had literally asked so many questions to Jesse streeter that he did mention he cant spend any more time on this buy.....so it would be nice if you could atleast spend some time reading the comments to get your answer......unfortunately everything cant be served on a silver plate.....

I read the entire thread & was still confused as I assume others may have been. In the time it took to tell me to read the thread again you could have answered my question. I was unsure if the cost was for a single unit or 2 headlights & if there were more parts needed to get everything working properly.

I imagine that will solve your questions about the sedan assembly's shiva, found it on yahoo myself.

And now i have satisfied my need to see the product, I will happily fork out my $452 for them, seems like a bargain, i will pair with you if u like shiva

Ok... i'm out...

I went with importmonster... It was more expensive.. but worth it in my opinion..

"I had literally asked so many questions to Jesse streeter that he did mention he cant spend any more time on this buy"

After reading this i figured someone who is in the business of importing and one would assume customer service, can't provide time on something.. not a safe bet

Understand your lack of patience, but understand that Jesse has to go through hundreds of emails each day let alone calling up suppliers, ordering goods and looking after his warehouse storage/shipping etc.

If he said that then I would assume that there would have been more than 20 emails back and forth. It takes a fair bit for him to cut a buyer off (some of the companies and questions he has had to deal with from me are unenviable).

I realise that it is hard putting this all together & that people are getting frustrated. I did not go ahead with the order because I did not have a clear understanding of it. If the buy has not been finalised I would be interested (& would not let anyone down) provided it is available via air freight & not sea mail to Adelaide. I would be interested in chrome for a 2004 coupe. If it is closed then no big deal, offering to do this may help someone.

OK guys, I emailed Jesse today and this was the response that I got from him:

this is turning into a bit of a mess.

seller agreed on that price IF I order 12 sets at once. so far 3

people have contacted me over a week so if thats it Im not going to

get that price.

Im starting to hate on group buys :(

so until I get the numbers I promised the seller (and the Shiva said

were going to happen) I wont be able to do them at that price.

shipping costs are based on exact weight and Im assuming they are 7kg

per pair packed. if they are lighter shipping will be less, if they

are heavier shipping will be more.

also the costs are all in JPY so the AUD amount will float on the

exchange rate, AUD is strong at the moment but if it drops the price

in AUD will go up.

So before we get too excited I think its probably best to hassle Shiva

and make sure we have 12 sets that are going to be ordered.

I will write to Jesse to advise him that we did have confirmation on 12 sets. However, since Megahowler has pulled out, we are now one short.

For those of you who are interested but have not previously confirmed, can you now indicate whether you are keen to proceed or not. I think the best course of action would be for:

(a) Shiva to let Jesse know that we do have 12 sets and that he can expect to be contacted by 6 people (3 of which have already done so).

(b) Start pairing yourselves up and nominate one of the two to email jesse confirming the order and sorting out payment terms with him.

Cheers,

Keith

So, if Mega doesn't decide to change his mind for the 5th time, looks like we have 5 total in Vic.

Think and Big are paired, so Inter and Mayo, you wanna jump in on a triple order?

I've emailed Jesse, but happy to pay you guys direct and just sit back, or run the comms & collate payment / get them shipped

Prefer airmail, but open to whatever works for the group...

Just be careful if they are going to declare full value of each pair @ over $333 each you will get slugged for Aus duties = roughly 25% (including GST) if you put together 3 sets.

    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.  
    • Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?
    • Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.
    • Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
