Just wondering if there is going to be a group buy for extractors anytime soon

im really keen on getting some for my 33 GTS series 2

and dont want to pay $360 for one... $280 + $80 shipping

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:

and i'll agree with you on the uni front! taking all our money!

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.

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
