copy and paste the list guys and add yer names to it ...

ok guys this is perhaps a minor rant, im out in the desert at the mo, sorting this out in the small amount of free time i have.

we have 5 people interested on SO.com of which three have given me details regarding size and whether they want treated or not. we had at lest that number orginally interested in these on here, yet despite repeated requests for a list of what you guys want nothing is forthcoming. (apart fromthe thee above, and one pm to which i have replied)

i cannot get a definative price untill i know who wants what then i can email partsco and start properly sorting this. so unless people actually show interest then autralian half of this is going to fall flat.

however in fairness to those that have bothered to give me details so far i WILL keep you informed and see what i can do ....

Hey Hesh

Didn't realise this thread had started in the N/A section.

I would like to see an established member of the forum taking charge of the Australian side to ensure that everything goes smoothly before I start handing over cash.

Is there additional cost of the HP Coating I'm looking at going 2.5" with my exhaust set up so I'll go with 2.5" Coby's.

1) dermy (need details of outlet and coated/uncoated)

2) shane666 2.5" outlet, hp coating

3) central coast person (Andrew) (details tbc)

4) n dawg (2.5..? uncoated?)

hey there Si,

welcome to the headache i had to put up with - and i organized three of these buys! it's unfortunately the minority that ruin it, the rest are an amazing bunch. this is a group buy people! the discounted price can only be attained if and when the agreed amount of buyers is reached.

some are quick to express into getting you to get organization underway, but when it comes to crunch time (i.e. confirmation and money) they all scamper. some users i have noticed have expressed interest in your GB as they have in the last two buys.

tell you what. i would hate to see this group buy fall through. despite my busy schedule i am willing to be the collector of funds for the australian side purely just to help you guys progress with this GB in the UK. that is if you are happy or wish for me to do so.

however i have some conditions:

1. that you remain the sole contact for the correspondence with partsco and the members (keep me cc'd in on the emails) for simplicities sake and for my sake.

2. since i will be making the international transfer on behalf of the australian buyers i will be hit with an international transfer fee, so please factor that into account as well as fluctuations in exchange rate. i paid an extra $60 out of my own money last time and as much as i love you guys i would like to avoid it if possible.

if any of the Australian buyers have an issue with this. to put your mind at ease, i have organized 3 of these buys before, i am the treasurer and financial member of SAuQLD, a moderator as well as a forum user with a flawless trader rating.

any questions fire away.

Si, PM me if you wish.

cheers

And with that said I can now say yes I'm definitely in! :D

Eug, how was your international transfer fee calculated? Is there a rate they go by? Splitting the charge over the people in the group buy is fair in my opinion..I wouldn't like to see someone else going through all the hassle and headache of organising this just to be slugged with more money out of their own pocket.

My question at the moment is how much does it cost for the HP Coating?

From what I've read so far, HP Coating definitely seems to be the better way to go?

Cheers

Nathan

HP coating is exp£$ive, what ever currency you work in.

Eug, thank you for stepping in to this, i really apreciate it.

I will Pm you with some questions soon regarding how things work with currency etc down there .....the uk side of this is all set with everything taken care of at £210 with the items in my hands. (other deleivery costs are going tobe sorted individually in the uk side)

sooo wqe just need confirmation of the autralian side's details and i can let partsco know what they have and move tothe next stage. 7 days people and i will take the names and details i have at that point ....(thats wed next week the 28th) and forward those orders to partsco for an aussie delivery price.

lets make it work guys ....

hey guys, work has gotten inthe way of my time online of late. so to be fair to all iwont close this untill im back inthe theuk with better facilities. (thats gives people an other week.)

Eug i'll pm you once im back to start hashing out details. etc.

1) dermy (need details of outlet and coated/uncoated)

2) shane666 2.5" outlet, hp coating

3) central coast person (Andrew) (details tbc)

4) n dawg (2.5..? uncoated?)

5)gr33d

6) dori32 2.5non coated.

with regard to exact prices these will depend on the number that are involved ultimately. so i dont havea definative price as yet as ive not done allthe research required. However have look around on here and youll find the last three coby group buys that Eug sorted out and the prices for them and info onthe benfits of tubular headers can be found there.

as ive alreadt stated guys, im going to be able to sort the details of this and come back to you with a price once im back inthe uk. price will be based on numbers interested, and postage to each individual member in australia...(im getting allthe uk ones sent to me)

so do some reading around guys decide what you want and ill get partsco onthe case.

nope. just tell me what type you want and add your name tothe above list.

little update for you guys. ive heard from all five of my guys in UK, i now have allthe details form that forumand a delivered price to me inthe uk. so this means its only the aussie side that needs sorting out interms of details for delivery etc and final price, then we can colect money and get these ordered.

im back in uk from the 6th next month and will chace partsco on AUS delivery asap.

ok seen as there are now a few wanting more info ill fire off an email to partsco today. imnot back inthe uk for another week, but at least their reply should be waiting for me when i arrive.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
