Oil cooler kit - Suit GTR and GTST/GTT

[adznight]

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?

[R31Nismoid]

im in as discussed a while ago, just didnt post

[Scotsman]

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.

Scotsman,

Do you have the numbers as yet, as I would like to get mine ASAP?

[R31Nismoid]

[Scotsman]

Ok. I'd like to start collections.

Bank details as follows, use SAU nick as description.

Comm Bank - MR Christopher. R. Thomson BSB#: 063245 Acc#: 0068 8564

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.

[Scotsman]

Will try to get pricing for shipping tomorrow so interstate people can deposit.

[adznight]

Sweet, will transfer ASAP

[EnricoPalazzo]

very interested, however how soon do we have to commit. Funds are low atm

[Scotsman]

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.

[xfixiate]

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.

[Al]

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

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

[Bepo]

This deal include me and my Mk IV TT Supra

Scoty can you check the price on my car or should I just call them and quote the group buy?

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).

[xfixiate]

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).

[maccattack]

Scotsman, do you have the final price INCLUDING freight as yet?

Am ready to order, but need final pricing.

[xfixiate]

Is the kit likely to drop oil pressure significantly?
