Trust33 -The GTR, GTT and GTS-t kit's are all counted as the same group buy. A GTT kit is no different to a GTS-t.

Al - We are checking interest at the moment so I'd say in the next couple of weeks unless Scotsman has any other plans?

Ok seems like we have plenty on interest on this one to go ahead with the first 5. The group buy will not close ever. Just wait till 5 people are confirmed then buy will occur.

I want to get the first round going before PIRAC club day. Will post up my account details for people to deposit into then buy will go ahead. PM me if you have other ideas about payment methods. Otherwise I will handle the transactions.

Got a bit more info for those interested in a remote filter setup without cooler.

Awaiting on prices using blue tube and the 5+ buy price.

UAS have a braided filter kit for a GTR for $380, and a Greddy unit for $280. Not sure 1m of hose is sufficient but would be close (Anyone got a GTR setup already and a tape measure??)

Attached are better pics of the plates, Single O ring but it's bloody thick.

Note no mounting bracket.

John,

Ok the remote filter kit only in braded line would be approximately $463 retail

(allowing total of 1m hose - depends on where you mount your filter!) SAU discount to $405 per kit.

See pics of the blocks - line would go from the adaptor block on the engine to the

remote filter mount & back to the engine.

You don't need a thermostat on one of these setups unless when you wake up there is snow everywhere! Australia is not cold enough (perhaps a snow resort?!) to require a thermostat setup. The remote thermostat setups are $132 each - but be aware there are quite a few extra fittings required to plum them up (ie expensive! - min 4 more adaptor & 4 more braded hose fittings & a one way valve)  

Adaptor to block has a large thick o-ring - see pic

The remote filter block has provision for 3 6mm bolts to mount it to your firewall.

Ok. I'd like to start collections.

Bank details as follows, use SAU nick as description.

Check the first post for the edit. I will keep this up to date. Once five people are paid coolers will be avaliable. Meridian has stock. I will take full responsibility for any money transfered and will keep corespondance with people throughout the transaction. If people change their mind I will refund all monies deposited, unless Meridian have been handed the money. I am making no profit from this group buy and have no affliation with Meridian other than being a good customer. If you feel uncomfortable with any of this PM me and we can set something up. I am more than happy to meet people in person.

Edited to try and make it clearer

These oil cooler options will allways be avaliable to all SAU members/forum go-ers. We will wait until 5ppl are confirmed and then order to make the group discount applicable. However you can get just one at any time directly from Meridian. I am happy to handle this for as long as people require the coolers.

I've included an add a Meridian thermostat option to the cost matrix (couple of posts down):

Ok just done all the checking up on the oil thermostats & one way valves etc -

please note I've accidentally quoted you an ex-tax price on that thermostat housing

- retail is $143, not $130! (forgot his price list showed all retail prices ex

tax!!)

Anyway - here we go....

Braded installation type oil thermostat assembly:

Retail $533, SAU1 $469, SAU5+ $438

Pushlock installation type oil thermostat assembly:

Retail $508, SAU1 $440, SAU5+ $415

This unit will fit in between the oil filter & the oilcooler - the assembly includes

all required fittings - it can be retrofitted just by cutting the oil lines &

mounting it up.

Also note that the supplier has limited supplies of the one way valve that is fitted

with this installation, so kits may not be available "immediately" may take a day or

2 to find more valves.

Regards,

T

OK, my supplier is more expensive so i will be in this group buy :).

xfixiate: You have completely confused me :Oops:

Are you saying that UAS prices are cheaper. i.e: $320 for the complete kit without remote filter option. Is the kit as good as this one.

SAU NICK...NAME............CAR..........COOLER REQUIRED...........PRICE...PAID

....Al...........Alan C.........R33 Gtst...No Remote Filter, Pushlock...$440......No (Waiting on xfixiate response)

xfixiate: Are you saying that UAS prices are cheaper. i.e: $320 for the complete kit without remote filter option.  Is the kit as good as this one.

UAS sell an oil cooler with braided lines but WITHOUT the adapter to connect it (ie you get two braided lines and the cooler only) for $320. If you alreayd have a remote filter you could probably connect this up (assuming hoses were long enough) in place of one of the short hoses. Or buy a filter block adapter.

If you kitted up the Meridian option to the same spec as UAS (ie include the thermostat), you'd probably find UAS was cheaper:

UAS = $1150 Retail

Meridian = $438+825 = $1263 (at group buy price), $533+$1025=$1558 (retail).

If you were after a complete GTR cooler kit in braid including thermostat and remote filter, then UAS retail would be cheaper than the Meridian Group buy price by about $100.

If you just want a remote filter arrangement (no cooler) UAS are cheaper retail if (Greddy at $280 or custom at $320/$380/$395 - depending on when you asked and GTR or GTST.

If you're after a three hose remote filter and cooler setup with NO thermostat, Meridian seems to be the go (no such kit from UAS).

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
