Still out there somewhere. Usually about 5 days before they land I get a notice of arrival. I still haven't got it yet.. If I don't get any confirmation before the 10th I will look deeper into it. Such as ask the shipping company how things are going?

How good are these kits compared to all the others that i see around the traps? Im after a good quality kit that i can bolt onto my R32 GTS-t with minimal fuss and modifications but know that it will do the job and not last few a few months then give me grief.

can you match the prices offered by the guys on Nissan Silvia? The same spec ones from the same manufacturers are being sold for $180 and $150 by two different traders.

These prices are for the intercoolers. I believe in healthy competition, but what's going on in ns.com, I think it's too bizarre.

Well here is one statement he on the add.

Pressure Drop: 20PSI - 17PSI .. What the? nice pressure drop over the cooler.

same manufacturer I doubt it. What gives you that idea?

There is cheap and there is too cheap! I have cheap but I don't sell parts that will fall apart in 3 months. I would watch out buying coolers at $150... Have you read the stories about the coolers whistling. Those really cheap cooler may well be the ones and the manufacturers are trying to get rid of their stock. Maybe, I'm just speculating why they are so cheap. Or maybe they are defects.

But so far I have had 100% happiness from my customers, no faults found, no whistles and no returns. Sorry, I can't match their prices impossible!! But my assumption would be my coolers are of better quality from my feedbacks so far.

Maybe some of the guys who have received the blue kits and coolers can give some feedback.  :cheers:

Yeah that would be good to hear from others that have them???

would be good to know if the horns and temprature sensor need to be relocated and where they put them, also how the top plumbing fits between the top radiator hose and fan (R32 related).

cheers

Okay guys.. .Here's what you've been waiting for.. feedback

Started the install on a mates gti-r on Saturday and still going.

The piping is very good quality and no complaints there, all the associated brackets are in the right places and everything was provided. I was dissapointed with the clamps which kept on falling apart and were out of shape, also the piping for the gti-r went too close to the Pod (about 100mm too close) and now the pod has to be changed and/or relocated. Would of been worse with stock air box.

Anywayz.. overall the kit is good, the kit fits great, great quality piping just needs to improve on the quality of the clamps. Apart from that great kit :) (would be good if the piping didnt go directly where the air box goes though.

Thanks mate.

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
