Just received an email from Jesse. Cost for me around $510 by air give or take exchange rate, thats going it solo. I'm the 8th person so if 12 is the magic number then there is a way to go based on this thread. In any case I'm down with this.

My questions being answered may help getting me in -.-

Kolossus, sorry but I can't answer your question about whether anyone wants to pair with you in Qld...however, the cost without pairing is approximately $510 (air freight).

In terms of payment, we first need to get all 12 orders in with Jesse. Once this is done, Jesse will finalise the quote and respond to us requesting for payment for just the headlights. Once we all have made payment to Jesse (and noting that this may take some time), Jesse will then proceed to order the headlights from the supplier.

So to answer your question on how soon payment needs to be made, this really depends on how soon we hit the 12 orders mark.

Hope this clarifies things.

Cheers,

Keith

Just received an email from Jesse. Cost for me around $510 by air give or take exchange rate, thats going it solo. I'm the 8th person so if 12 is the magic number then there is a way to go based on this thread. In any case I'm down with this.

You are the 8th person to have contacted Jesse but since 4 people are pairing up, there may already be 12 orders (i.e.4 out of the 8 pax have ordered 2 sets).

Ok..latest update from Jesse below:

"numbers are getting there but now need to go through and find out what

people want as I found a few guys dont want coupe lights they want

sedan lights which are a different price."

I'm not sure how many of the 12 orders are for sedan lights. Looks like we are not quite there yet. Hang it there guys.:/

You know as much as anyone else from the info in this thread.

No, it would seem no-one is interested/available to pair with you. As I explained previously, if you don't have a pairing, email Jesse directly, let him know what you want and where you are located, and he will give you a quote. So far we have only seen a slight increase in price for singles - around $20-$30 more. So in a product where you are saving $120 or so, it is still a great deal. Jesse did say too, that the sedan lights are cheaper.

Payment is due in the next few days, assuming we get the final numbers responded to Jesse and it is all sorted.

Can each pair make sure that one person transfers the $$ to the other, as when we get the final go-ahead one of each pair is to transfer the $$ to Jesse (obviously non-paired people just transfer their own $$). I already have the $500 from Heretical, so our pair is ready to go.

Npz mate. Like I said - ANYONE that wants in on this group buy needs to email Jesse (or if you are in a pair, the 'dominant' member can email him), and we will get the ball rolling.

I feel like such a bitch now...

OK Jesse emailed me back as follows (I have taken the last bit of each email address off so we don't get spammed. Can everyone have a quick look over this list and make sure it is 100% correct?

    • Hi There I went through a rabbit hole of reading about Xenon headlights and the ADR regulations for having them installed. As people have been defected by running factory xenon I was researching in ways to make them compliant. Everyone always say needs to be self leveling and have washer installed, which I don't necessarily agree with. For this argument I'm using R34 as reference as I'm more aware on the construction of the headlight compared to the R33 Xenon, which may still be the exact same case.   For the self leveling clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles As you can see the bold text "these manually adjustable devices from driver seats" are fine to use. As Series 1 Xenon model headlights do have a 4 level adjuster on the right near the ignition (however not series 2) then these model are consider compliant in that argument.   For the Self Cleaning aspect of this argument clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles Now i can understand the argument that Xenon will need a washer as they are over 2000 lumens, but I clicked on the 12 at the end of that sentence and it takes me to the end notes which states R34 for headlight lenses are plastic, not sure if PL is mark as I don't currently have my skyline to confirm that marking is there. But could you not technically get a lenses with the PL marking on it and then get away with the argument that you need a washer. I went through a quick read of the adr and might have missed something else that may cause them to be non-complaint.    But wouldn't these technically be complaint headlights   Would love to hear other people input on this and shed some light   Edit In regard to the the washer portion I might be mistaken ADR 45 (which I believe is Regulation NO.45) states 12 cd (candela) I dont understand that portion in regarding to calculating the candela if anyone can shed some light. Otherwise I guess throw in a washer for the headlight and you definitely comply.
    • Took it to all Japan day, flogged the hell out of it and took it all, am a very very happy man  don’t know how that ended up in Greg’s thread before
    • Hey Nismo, any chance in the world you still have these seats?
    • I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.
