heya cara,

i ran the extractor group buy. i knew a guy who was selling his extractors since he was selling his car, but i'm not sure if he's changed his mind...

try getting in contact with this guy: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=159047

we got ours from a place over in new zealand. it's been a total nightmare for me to organize it, they aren't the best in terms of communication, and i was constantly on the phone trying to chase them up. i initially only ran one group buy, but everyone wanted a 2nd one most of them have received theirs.

we are waiting on two who opted for a slightly slower delivery method. if you really want i can PM you their web address and details, but i wouldnt be promoting their services freely after the headaches i had to deal with.

the alternative is to order a set of fujitsubo from japan, you are looking at $1600+ delivery.

another alternative is RB30 extractors (easily located within australia) and having the flanges cut off and modified to fit your exhaust ports.

cheers

hey Eug,

how hard and how much headache is there with cutting the flanges off with the RB30? is it a fair amount of work that has to be done for it to fit my RB25? does it work out cheaper to do it that way?

Thanks

Cara

cara,

any exhaust shop can cut the flanges off. hell even i could do it with an angle grinder (bit dodgy though :unsure:).

a quick break down of what's involved:

firstly, you'd have to make sure that the port sizes are at least similar or the same.

then, cut off the flanges

get flanges made up and weld them onto the RB30 ones.

it's a pretty rough method, and price wise it'd definitely work out more than the prices i managed to organize for the group buy. although if you know someone with a mig and with a bit of skills, and could snap up a set of extractors cheaply then it'd work out similar.

hope that helps

any good reputable exhaust shop would be able to do this no worries

the only thing that could cause a prob is the clearance around steering components, and the angle of attachment as the rb25 is a DOHC, whereas the rb30 is a SOHC (ie rb25 head is further out than rb30, if u get my drift)

cara,

with 4 (or more) buyers in our group buy the extractors cost AUD$185ea, plus a AUD$15ea gasket, and hp coating cost AUD$170 (optional) combine that with international delivery of approximately AUD$60-70.

you have yourself a set of basic extractors for as little as AUD$260 to a fully macked out set for AUD$430'ish.

$1200 is a rip off unless they plan on using titanium tuned length with gps system built in or something fancy.

    • Yeah, you need to do it properly. You need to start out slow and gentle, ramping it up until they are good and hot, but not cooking, then roll off the other side (instead of letting them cool down quick).
    • I think yeah less hot fuel dumping into the top of the tank that wants to evaporate easily, fewer connections/hoses for permeation. Something like that. Also lower cost/easier production. Even my 2000 LS400/Celsior is a deadhead system. A single fuel hose to the fuel rails which have pulsation dampers attached and no return line.
    • I might do a few more high temp bed ins as described here.  I have a nice quiet 80kph road right near me.  How To Bed-In Your EBC Brakes For Street Or Track Use - EBC Brakes https://share.google/AjnOTILXoiqQnLu8p  
    • I did a few 80-0 stomps. I then just rode the brakes while I applied throttle for a while to get them nice and hot. I live on a big hill and have been down it a few times also with stomps and brake riding.
    • Biggest thing is you're okay!   It sounds like between the accident, and the drive home, it was a pretty torturous trip again! On the bright side, you took the opportunity to enjoy the event more from the perspective of a spectator, than as an entrant!   Sad to see so much damage to the car. It really has taken a HUGE hit in the front end. If/when you choose to repair, hopefully the rails are straight (At least from shock tower backwards). Hopefully the extra cage coming through there has save most of the chassis rails, and HOPEFULLY saved the motor too. Best of luck when you eventually get motivated to start pulling it down to check it all out
