on there site they were $206

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).

i think if you check their site in NZD they state NZD$275, i think their converter is out of date.

ill be in as well EUG depending on price.

january sounds good so i got some time to save woo!

^ i was quoted by coby in NZ $310 delivered.

i am not sure why everyone has been given different prices. i have been given a figure of $NZD250 (for extractors including gasket), we are negotiating the freight options.

if you can get them for NZD$310 delivered, then there's no real need for the group buy. go for it i say! you'd only be saving $10-20 with the GB.

however i will keep everyone advised as the info comes to me.

greg! i remember those ghetto aluminum foil pics! haha...

with the current prices being offered for hp coating, i'd personally advise against it - even though i do rate it.

here's the amended prices with MicR33 pulling out, response as follows;

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

d12 extractors AUD$205

gaskets AUD$10

international air freight (3-10 days*) AUD$70

international economy (10-25 days*) AUD$60

*working days

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

judging by the quotes you guys got, it's about a AUD$50~80 saving.

i am awaiting confirmation on the variable outlet sizes and choice in colours.

let me know how everyone wishes to proceed, and this should be the first on order for the new year.

so its $285 all up.. Will it cost anymore to get them to W.A?

just let us know when you need the deposit etc.

cheers

Karl

correct, they are delivered from NZ straight to your door and won't cost anymore than stated - this minimizes hassles.

i won't ask for a deposit until i get a solid confirmation from everyone.

this is what they look like in the standard coby orange paint.

also i have requested an option in outlet sizes of 2.25" or 2.50", as well as an option of black or orange, like last time it should be free (i will confirm). so regardless of your catback size, we should be able to work something out.

as i get a good to go from everyone here, i will set up a thread in the GB section and we can go from there.

Eugene thanks heaps for this

i was hoping to get a GB started off this thread

thanks for all the time you have put in organising everything im definately in

ay chance of slightly lower prices if we get more people or is that lowest?

still all good though.

no worries, they are pretty difficult to get if no one can organize them. figure that helping everyone out is the least i can do.

if you guys give me more people, it will give me more leverage to bargin with. i had 6-7 people per buy last round. here we are struggling to make 4.

the headers themselves are a bargin, it's the freight that's the killer - they still work out in the end.

it could be cheaper to get them all shipped to one location (i.e. me), but then the cost and time involved for me to send them to everyone individually would just be a nightmare.

hi, i will prob also get some, just wondering its 285 for everything for rb25? and does anyone know around how much they cost to get fitted?

$285 will get you a d12 extractor (suitable for rb20 and rb25) and gasket with estimated 3-10 working day delivery from partsco to your front door.

fitment depends on how mechanically minded you are. they are easy to fit yourself, and if you can weld even better. otherwise it depends on the going rate of your local exhaust shop. i had mine fitted for $250 (including new flange, gasket, new head studs).

where abouts in melbourne are you in...im located s.e suburbs so if its cheaper for me to pick them up then i will if it means saving $$$ but yeah hopefully we get 6+ buyers im sure it will get more attention in the GB section.

where do you buy the new head studs, flange and gaskets from? Will most exhaust shops have what we need?

i know a 2.5inch gasket is easy to come buy but its the head studs im really asking about.

I dont see the point in the different colour choice as most people will get them heat wrapped or coated anyway..

anyway, big thumbs up to eug, its exiting to see progress. :w00t:

who said i was located in melbourne? :w00t: no one is picking anything up from me, even in the last buy brisbane'rs had them delivered to their doorstep, it will cost the same individually to get to me as it does directly to you.

i was implying that if they ALL got sent to me, i.e. on a crate or something - then there might be some savings.

if you'd like to get some cheaper prices, try to find some more buyers so i have grounds to bargin with them.

head studs can be bought from any exhaust shop (even nissan i believe). flange and gaskets also from the exhaust shop.

correct, any half decent workshop will be able to supply everything, even the gasket glue.

if you want to save some dosh, remove your old headers - fit the new headers on and mark where you'd want the new flange to be in relation to the cat. remove it all and bring it to an exhaust shop (or even someone who knows how to tig) and bob's your uncle. apart from the welding, it's all bolt in bolt out.

i would have done it myself too, but what would have taken them a couple of hours on the hoist would have taken me a day.

there might have been issues previously with the orange paint melting off (greg? can you elaborate here). some people didn't get them heat wrapped nor hp coated, and would rather a black set of headers than orange - i'm still negotiating if it'll be free, a minor issue really.

i don't do things by halves karl :)

yes.. Im in.. deffinately..

If we receive them mid-late Jan.. I may be able to save and get some sort of ECU sorted out and funded to afford a re-tune too :ninja:

I have a feeling that heat wrapping those headers is going to be a BIATCH!

ok, that's 4... will everyone be ready with the group buy running till early-mid decemeber. (that way we dont have people pulling out afterwards saying they are poor from christmas?)

we can place the order and fingers crossed, timing it correctly we should just sneak in after the christmas rush.

    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
