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.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
