IF someone who has acctuallt installed these onto their RB25DE gives me a run down on how it improved their responce.. Ill be in too

i cant give a definite answer as i did my extractors and full exhaust at the same time.

first instance was a fatter mid-range, VVL/VCT was much more notice-able, top end revs right out till ~6500/6800'ish. revving and delivery was sharp and smooth.

note: i also did get an SAFC2 at the same time and got a fair bit leaned out.

skimming through the thread there seems to be about 6 people interested.

if everyone sticks with it, i will run the group buy. we really need the numbers to make this work, i won't advertise this elsewhere to make up the numbers required like last time due to people pulling out. so if you are unsure, say so now.

i've sent emails out to partsco and the hp coaters. i'll advise back on prices.

as a rough timeline, we're looking at:

late jan - names & deposit

early feb - orders placed and transfer of money

Hi guys,

I contacted Partsco, cause i need extractors asap, and on there site they were $206 and comes with red factory high temp paint that coby use, is this good enough cause they did tell me about True HPC ceramic coating is usually a

dull silver colour and would cost around $200 to do a set of Coby D12's.

Would this be better or just the standard high temp paint they use would be fine, cause $200 is quite a bit.

they said: You are looking at around $70 to air freight the D12's to Aust and you would

need to allow 3-10 days (as quoted by NZ Post).

Sounds quick?

well i kno im definately in for extractors but duno bout this coating stuff ..does it make a difference for an extra $200??

but yeah i was quoted coby d12 extractors $288 + shipping $80 to be delivered to Melb.

A Lot of people are not wanting the hpc coating, im not sure if its the money issue of getting them coated or if its just the fact that no one knows what the coating actually achieves.

If i know what it does and if its benificial enough ill go for the coating..

also, im getting a new catback made up in 2.5 inch mandrel bent stainless steel. (custom made by kirmit on these forums) Will the coby extractors be the same length as the original headers? or should i wait till i get the extractors then fit the new catback as the extractors might alter the length of the rest of the pipe?

im pretty sure the extractors should just fit straight in but just want to make sure i wont have to get the catback modified.

oh and im still definately in for the group by :D

cheers

google "HPC" or "HP coating", it's basically a thermal coating to maintain temps.

i'm not entirely sure if you will notice any significant difference between a car with/without hp coating. however keeping the heat out of the engine bay is enough to sell me - it is odd that they cost just as much as the extractors themselves but the coating is contracted out.

in regards to getting an exhaust, i'd wait for the headers - they don't come with flanges so it depends on what diameter you're after to weld them on.

that said i had no dramas welding my headers onto my full exhaust system, any exhaust shop can cut to suit.

ok cool, is heat wrapping cheaper? If so may as well just get the extractors wrapped in stead of coated..

so your saying we should get the extractors fitted, cut to size if nessesary and have flanges welded on then have the cat and cat-back made up.

either way im still looking forward to the day i get mine :)

it's not really such a big deal as everyone makes it out to be. the headers will end at the same place as the standard front pipe.

the headers come 2.25" standard, i will try to arrange a choice between 2.25" or 2.50" outlets again (was free of charge prior).

heat wrapping or hp coating either way is fine, they will work if you don't wrap them too.

i still haven't received a response yet (not really expecting one too soon due to holidays).

will keep you guys posted.

when'd you get an NA dale?

hey dude how r u :)

Pacemaker make really good Extractors guys, Not sure if they make for RB engines though. I noticed a world of difference when using them on my old NA car.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
