Group Buy For Extractors

[Eug]

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i think if you check their site in NZD they state NZD$275, i think their converter is out of date.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

Thanks Greg!

I never thought of the ali foil!.. Its quite ghetto.. but seems to do the job!

[Eug]

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.

[inthisglass]

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

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.

[KURAUN]

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?

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.

$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.

who said i was located in melbourne? 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

[Eug]

i'll need a yes or no from you guys, if there's enough numbers. i'll start the thread in the GB section, it will run over the holidays and close around late jan/early feb in the new year.

[_bobo_]

yes from me

[GTS4WD]

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

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

[dori34]

AFFIRMATIVE for me

whats the minimum # to get it at $285 delivered?

thats cheap!

do they only come orange standard?

my god thats hideous!

Edited November 5, 2007 by whyte

[inthisglass]

you probably already know..

but still deffinately yes for me

[Eug]

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.

[GTS4WD]

ur the man Eugene!
