dude, he is making the money on the postage .... the postage doesn't really cost US$30 per piece - I am sure it is significantly less - he is avoiding Ebay charges (as they charge a percentage of the purchase price as commission).

The signs are fairly large, so even tho they are light they go by cubic weight!!

Is it sent air freight?

don't know, I don't really give a crap, as long as they're here within 3 weeks and they arrive safe and sound!

fyi buyers - I paid shipping insurance on them too, for peace of mind.

Order is in, I have paid for them all, and am waiting for him to notify me the shipping EMS numbers for tracking. Will post them up when available.

also fyi, he said you can change the light bulbs in the head unit and change the colour of the signs. I am not sure what type of bulbs these are, but hopefully he will let me know or send some spares.

Andrew

the payments have now all cleared and the guy is making the signs as we speak. We (I) got absolutely ripped on the Paypal A$ to $US conversion - they converted at US76.5c to the A$ (should have been around 80c to the A$). So it turns out everyone's orders are $5 more expensive. But I not gonna lose too much sleep over it. If you wanna give me the extra $5 each when you next see me at a cruise then that would be nice ..... if not, it's not the end of the world.

Will let you all know shipping/tracking numbers when available.

My signs arrived today! They look pretty good, but one doesn't work. Hopefully it is just something simple, but haven't had a chance to look yet. Instead of cutting and joining wires, I just got a travel adaptor from the hardware. Works like a dream (on the sign that works anyway)

Thanks for all the time you put into this Andrew. Your a champ. Finally my lounge room looks like a cheesy pub! :)

P.S. I'll give you the extra money owing when I see you. Thanks again, Ant. :)

Hey guys

my signs arrived on tuesday but ive been away at my gfs so i didnt know until i got home today

they looks sweet :P

just need to go get sum adapters now

btw andrew how much do i owe u?

got mine today too - and the email from the supplier giving shipping/tracking numbers :P

Mine are sweet as, I got 6 in total and they all work and are cool. One had the bulb dislodged (maybe like yours Ant), so I opened her up, pulled out the light assembly and put the globe back in. Works perfect now! Fyi, you can buy the bulbs around the place apparently, so if you prefer a different colour it is an easy fix.

Don't worry about the cash Kamikazee - it is too hard for the sake of $5. I just made the comment cos I am likely to catch up with the other fellas sooner or later. I just forgot Paypal give such a shitty exchange rate!

And don't bother with buying an adapter - just cut the end off and rewire a new plug on the end - 2 minute job and much cheaper. You can buy plugs from Woolies, Coles etc.

Hope you all enjoy your signs!!

Can you post up a picture of what they look like lit up next to something, so we can see the actual size of em?

I went into a new bar world shop last night looking for something similiar but all they had were shitty little globe type lights which said crap like bar open, and they were selling for $50.

Luckly these are coming from America otherwise if they were sent from anywhere in Asia customs would have checked em all out.

these are actually sent from china - or so it says on mine

den these are about 30cm long and bout 15cm tall (plus the metal bit at the top)

I will look for these when i am in hong kong in 2 weeks time.

Hopefully i can post some back to myself in Aus while there.

    • ...just a note of warning, you shouldn't drive it about with the TCU in limp mode with only 3rd gear available ~ apart from the fact you end up sheering the ATF at the torque converter interface, the high clutch in these isn't especially the strongest, particularly bolted to the RB25DE mill...which is likely a 4AX01 box with lighter duty high clutch (the RB25DET got the bigger high clutch)...be careful out there...
    • Hoping to do similar mods to my RB20 once I get it running and reliable again
    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
