There has been quite a bit of interest for them again lately.. If you can get 4-5 people Interested I'm sure you can do it. Nothing against you or anything, but if you ask Eug to organise it ONCE YOU HAVE 4-5 serious buyers lol, because he's done many many trades and is someone who I'd trust and also he did the last group buy with huge success.

Yeah.. Eug is your man..

I heard there were problems with the company.. payment? shipping? something like that..

See if he would be kind enough to organise another one.. or get the details off him and do it urself..

awww feel the love... :P thanks for the vote of trust guys.

i may do organize another if there's enough interest, might even have to ask for a deposit from those interested just to make sure no one backs out again last minute.

i ran two separate buys, the issues that arose them were:

- some people were quick to agree, and oh so slow to front up with cash (you are only going to make it more expensive for the others).

- being an international transaction there are delays in monies being transferred and shipment (as an example nengun can take up to 6 months for delivery).

- coby manufacture them on an order basis, so there are delays in that aspect.

- then there's time delays in movement from coby to my contact, then from my supplier to the hp coaters and then back to the contact. and we all know how punctual mechanics/welders/anyone in the business is.

- one of the main concerns i had was in the communication with my supplier, they did have server issues and weren't getting my emails. nothing a few international calls couldn't sort out.

- the second main concern was Glyn (chicane)'s extractors, his set were the only ones that were hp coated and thus came alot later than the rest, not to mention the gasket wasn't included in the initial delivery. this was promptly fixed via express, without extra charges.

turn around time your looking 2-3 months from the date you deposit the money into my account (assuming everyone deposits, and i don't have to run around trying to find an extra buyer to maintain the cheap costs).

1 week for money to clear from us into their international bank account

2-3 weeks for manufacture

1 week back to supplier

2 weeks at the hp coaters

1 week back to supplier

1-2 weeks for delivery & customs

give or take, and dependent on how many orders we put through.

that said, if we order now the expected delivery will hit around christmas time - and as we all know from prior experience, i'd like to avoid that.

cheers

eug

i would organise 1 but im currently still in school and dont really have much time...i wouldnt have any problem with depositing money aslong as i know im going to get my extractors....

what about partsco i got quoted $360 to be delivered is that who you went through

well what ever happens i'll be 100% down to be in a group buy with extractors

just want to know if there was one with 4buyers how much would i end up spending all up???

time is certainly something you would need to organize a group buy, as well as being prepared to invest a few bucks here and there. making calls, getting quotes, organizing who, what and where, etc.

partsco was my supplier/contact -correct. we have an established relationship; the following was our given deal. you may or may not get the same prices, however do not expect to get the same as over AUD$3-4K worth has passed through my hands to them.

also the increase in strength in the AUD should see lower prices again.

as of oct 2006:

shipment options

International Express, 1-3 days (AUD$100.00)

International Air, 3-6 days (AUD$70.00)

International Economy, 10-15 days (AUD$60.00)

hpc coating

one set of headers (AUD$170)

1-3 buyers

D12 rb20/25de headers (AUD$220)

D5 rb30e headers (AUD$220)

F124 gasket (AUD$15)

4+ buyers

D12 Headers (AUD$180)

D5 rb30e headers (AUD$180)

F124 gasket (AUD$15)

as you can see we made savings of ~$100 each!

oh!.. Its so tempting!..

I really want those rb30 headers!..

Im just trying to justify the money for the build..

I have a feeling Ill have to miss this one..

Save for a few weeks.. pay off my uni accomodation.. and see whats left.

i'll forgive you it was late when you posted, but you need to wake up cris!

rb30 headers for the single cam head :dry:

Oh god.. I gotta lay off the drinking.. lol.. ;)

then I WOULD go for the 25 heders..

and to make matters worse.. I spent some money on a set of coilovers.. the price was too good to resist..

the bloke with the rb30 shot peened rods and ARP bolts isnt liking the fact he has to send.. I have a feeling thats turned sour..

you could just go to where i got mine done (see thread 'difference in extractors') for pics, was some place in furntree gully so not far from you, they seem like good extractors to me and people say so ?? :s

i'll send a few emails around to see what we can do about the extractors. no promises.

i would still say to hold off until the new year, christmas holidays is not going to be fun for manufacturing and delivery

exellent,

would greatly appriciate any help you can offer us eug.

if its going to take a long time to get them over the christmas period wont it matter if we order now and get them say early 08 instead of waiting to order in 08?

anyway, looking forward to when it all gets rolling.

karl.

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
