BOOSTMEISTER: Thnx for the info, and like u said i had already decided to not use a garrett core... to put it bluntly they are one of the hsitest cores i have found!! I have had some very good luck and have got onto a secret i am gunna blow now, that most of the top flowing cores with the leasst pressure drop and still very good cooling efficiency is the new Adrad core which i am jumping to get hold of. As for ARE... they are the end tanks i am after!! If i'm not wong wrong ur a freak... u knew all my moves :(:) Yeah basically they were the people who sorta steered me away from cooler prices. I was after an ARE cooler for my car after many conversations with Richard from ARE via e-m@il i decided to go with one until i thought about what i was paying for it. It was around the 1200 mark which i believe is a bit too much and is the reason i am trying to almost halve that for u guys!! Basically it will be an ARE cooler i am selling.

:mad: no probs mate. I remember when I was looking at my first cooler, I looked at all the Jap stuff ( I used to import straight from Japan) and the ARE stuff was just as expensive, I was about to get a TRUST cooler but after I looked more carefully at the ARE one I realised it was far superior. I guess the thing with price is that Richard runs a business and has to pay high rent, wages and all the other running costs that are associated with owning a business. You have to make profit to run a business I guess :)

There are also other costs that he incurred that you will not have to if you use his designs......you won't need to spend the 800 hours on a flow bench to see if your idea works which will save you money. Also he runs a very expensive welder $38 000 I think, that thing can weld the fins on a core (paper thin alloy) which means that the finish product is beautiful with perfect welds etc.

If you can achieve an equal with their product then fantastic but please don't advertise on here that you are selling an ARE cooler unless it is spot on if you know what I mean

(Don't take offense to this, I am just offering some advice, Richard is a friend and one of the nicest people I have met especially in the aftermarket game, he has spent years and years perfecting his product and doesn't deserve to have his reputation tarnished)

    • You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not
    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
