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i think if you check their site in NZD they state NZD$275, i think their converter is out of date.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

    • Bit of an update to this one. Having some issues on the dyno that held us back (boost spiking) and I want to pass some info over you guys and see what you think is wrong with my setup. The current readout on this dyno is 462rwkw on a low reading dyno so keep in mind it is a real world 500rwkw setup on a hub dyno. Don't read into the power figure too much as a sign of the issue. The short and curly of it is: 2.8 Litre Racepace build RB25 NEO N/A Head with VCT (internally standard however ) Borgwarner EFR 8474  Turbosmart 50mm Straight Gate + Mac valve 6Boost Manifold 4" dump to full 4" exhaust (nil restrictions) Wastegate plumbed back in and all angles in the exhaust system are acceptable and not too sharp. GFB SV52 BOV in cooler piping  Turbosmart BOV in EFR Housing   The issue we are having is it comes onto full boost for example at 4000rpm and spikes to 24/25psi, before dropping down to 17psi before slowly rising back up to the target boost of 23psi. It was extremely uncontrollable and the tuner actually had to ramp in boost progrssively with each 1000rpm on each boost setting we selected to try and reduce the amount of spiking. Sometimes we would see a drop of 10psi from the peak at the beginning of the run, to the low, until it took the next 500-1000rpm to stabilise back up to the target boost. The tuner is pretty confident that the straight gate is just a poorly designed product and leaks too much boost upon cracking the gate open and theres no way to fix it other than going to a poppet valve. He's also confient theres no ignition breakdown or floating valves. The fueling is extremely stable as well. Turbo speed is somewhere around the 109,000rpm area. The spanner in the works for me is that prior to this Borgwarner and StraightGate, the car was tuned on -5 twins at a diferent tuner, and he also had issues controlling the boost with it spiking around the same rpm range, so to me this sounds like the same issue and it can't be anything on the turbo side as this was all changed and I think the behaviour is extremely similar, if not the same. We also removed the mac valve and did a run on wastegate pressure and it still spiked and had the same behaviour. My thoughts on possibilities are: Boost Leak VCT Cam Gear isn't reliably activating consistently - (On this however, we did a run with the VCT disabled and the boost still spiked) Turbosmart BOV is not handling the boost? However this seems unlikely to not be able to handle 20psi. I have a couple of logs that I can't make sense of if anybody knows how to read them and can obtain further logs of other parameters if they are not enough, happy to pay for anyones time. The dyno readout with the power figure is the most recent last week. The other picture is from two weeks prior to that where we couldn't break 400kw (we removed the cat), however the issue of the boost control persisted. @Lithium @Piggaz @burn4005 @GTSBoy @discopotato03 I've tagged those that were quite active in recent pages here, no disrespect to those that know turbos well but I missed tagging.

    • I recently purchased a 2018 Infiniti Q60, which has an SD card navigation map. I can see my system has options for real time traffic updates etc, and am wondering if there is something I can purchase to get this working? I can see there are at least updated maps for USA and Canada, but nothing for Australia. Surely Infiniti took changing road systems and city expansions into account when they decided to use an inbuilt navigation over Android Auto/Apple Car Play, or are we doomed to drive on streets that don't exist in the navigation system if you drive to a new area?
    • Luckily I didn't put in etch primer as I just found out it's not compatible with my body filler lol. Also just need to sand the panel anywhere between 150-400 grit so I'm in the clear there. It does say to not apply to soft old paint, I assume that means paint that is flaking, peeling,etc
    • @dbm7 and @GTSBoy thank you both very much! will give that a shot!
