any ideas how much extra would it be to post it 2 sydney?, mmmm i think i might get them aswell :rolleyes:
im pretty sure the prices include delivery to your door ...

correct

received your details beau. thanks for that

first post updated karl.

hey guys just wondering where can i get HPC coating done???

also how much is it?? it's worth it though yeah..

i think the bling factor alone is close to worth it :D

not that i have any grounds for comparison, but my engine bay seemed cooler than with the stock headers on.

try whitepages or googling locally, that might help.

ok, i've got 4 definites - and a lot of guys have said yes/definitely/for sure, etc. but none have been able to simply reply with an order or even a guesstimate.

if i get no further interest by the end of next week, i will be ending the buy prematurely and proceeding with the order. please check the first post to ensure i have the correct order.

cheers

eug

Hey guys so glad this is going ahead my exhaust sounds like cr*p lol if anyone else is really serious about getting the extractors just pay the money so we can get this moving just like to say thankyou to all the guys/girls that have gone ahead with the group buy thanks for making it cheaper :laughing-smiley-014: and a big thanks to eug for all the work

cheers all hope everyone can afford christmas now hehehe cheers all

Just a quick question

Does anybody know if the heat sheild will fit over the extractors or do the extractors come out further than the stock headers?

It doesnt really matter but i was just curious.

cheers

Karl.

Karl.

much further out... one of the reasons why i had hpc done.

not a peep from cam_r33 or mikey. i'm closing this tomorrow and going with the four that have paid.

things just cannot be done if people don't meet half way.

cheers guys, will keep you updated.

right, this is now closed.

the order has been drawn up and is ready to send. once GTR.2NV's payment has cleared (monday/tuesday), the order will be placed and the transfer made. expect up to a week for the funds to clear to them in new zealand and then the waiting game begins.

thanks for your patience

who made the payment on the 26th of November?? (which cleared today :S)

please call me and tell me what reference you put it under as I need to find out who this is before I can proceed with the order.

If it's Cam or Mikey - give me a call.

It's not GTR.2NV because I hadn't given him my bank account details prior to the 26th.

Beau, Karl, Kane and Cris - you guys have all been accounted for

hi guys, i know this particular group buy has closed, but im looking at sourcing a few of thse for interested people over here in the uk. i have couple of questions, my apologies if they seem a little "obvious2 but trying to get normally asperated info over this side of the world is like getting blood outta a stone.

i have gts4 saloon. will i need a specific set of pipes for this lay out or will the coby ones in this group buy work? (i assume with a bespoke mid/rear exhaust system too)

i think the answer to this is that the systems are identical but are there an significant diffenreces between the systems for rb20 and 25? and r33/32 body types? (by which i mean length of pipes and routing etc)

cheers guys.....

these are able to be used on the R32, R33 & R34 with the RB20 & RB25, whether the sedan/saloon or the coupe/2 door.

there may/will be slight modification required to make the catylytic convertor fit as the factory ones are quite big to the new ones you buy off the shelf. the angle of the remaining exhaust can be accounted for whilst modding the cat convertor.

cheers

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
