lol yeh i need to get heat wrap also, anyone know where to get some cheap heat wrap or even HPC done?

Heat wrap is cheaper..

HPC is quite expensive..

Which is best?.. I guess we will have to wait and see..

Sometime next week.. Ill start a thread in the NA section where people can dicuss their experinces with heat wrap VS HPC.. Stock VS coby.. Power band increased.. instalation.. etc. etc.

should be interesting to see..

Hi guys,

Got my coby hpc coated extractors fitted this week as well as hi flow cat and 2.5" system and xforce cannon, sounds good, quiter then i though, my gf lancer is louder lol, idle and low revs it sounds good, but about 3k it gets a bit raspy and quite, hmm not sure if thats normal, doesnt sounds like the normal skyline sound, only like i said low revs and and idle it does, any thoughs?

Hey so we have all paid eug have you transfered the money to coby just wondering when we will be getting the extractors seems like mic r33 got his fairly quick will ours be quick. just wondering

lol how else could you get these coby extractors besides a group buy?

by contacting partsco directly.

dont these come with a flange ready to bolt to the cat?

do you have to get that done yourself once these arrive?

no flanges. the stock cats (from japan) are the long oval shaped ones, most aftermarkets are short cylindrical ones.

usually a small pipe/flange is required to make the angle fit. a simple 10 minute job.

about 3k it gets a bit raspy and quite, hmm not sure if thats normal, doesnt sounds like the normal skyline sound, only like i said low revs and and idle it does, any thoughs?

no rapsy'ness at low revs for me.

most people seem to get the 3k metalic ring regardless of extractors/exhaust setup.

it seems to be an I6 twin cam thing, as i've heard some M3s with a similar tone

Hey so we have all paid eug have you transfered the money to coby just wondering when we will be getting the extractors seems like mic r33 got his fairly quick will ours be quick. just wondering

yes i have the money from everyone

the order has been sent, however i'm still awaiting confirmation of the order. your monies are waiting for them to provide the bank account details with the finalized totals.

mic_r33 decided not to go with the GB a long time ago, i'm not sure when he placed the order - but for single orders they (partsco) do have the odd 1 or 2 sitting on the shelf. so it's a matter of packaging it and sending it off.

but if you want the cheaper prices then they will want to recieve the money first, then confirm the order with coby and which coby will then manufacture the required amount.

cheers

eug

Yeh shipping was quick, and they had the extractors in stock, longest part was transfering money and getting them sent to HPC to get coated and returned, but shipping was just over a week

funds have been sent... please be patient guys it's completely out of my hands now.

and for those who want to say otherwise I have forked out an extra $60 of my own money in calls and to make up the difference in the sudden rise in exchange rate.

alright - i've opted to use paypal in this case and we managed to clear the funds within 1 day!

i called up partsco this morning and craig has assured me that they have given your orders a priority.

fabrication begins monday and we might get these to you prior to christmas (fingers crossed for xmas shipping).

Hey Eug will they tell you when they are done or have you given them our address's already. if they let you know can yu post when they are done and will they bit shiny metal like in micr33's pic

Yeh mine do look shiny, but once in you dont see them much lol

btw Eug, i saw your post that u said you forked out $60 extra of your own money, i know i wasnt in the group buy but i have to hand it to you your a nice bloke for doing that for everyone, i didnt see anyone post anything about it after you said it unless they PMed you but thumbs up for Eug

no, unfortunately i didnt get any PMs :) but thanks for the kudos!

we didn't expect exchange rates to change so dramatically - i guess i should have factored that in, but i wasn't in it to make a 'profit' as such. what was quoted to me in NZD was converted directly to the nearest AUD.

Ribby, Mic's are shiney because of the HPC - they paint over it in a nice silver paint.

Coby normally do theirs orange, however if we're lucky I've requested everyone get a stealth black.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
