Group Buy: Skyline Power Steering Cap Cover Plates


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Over the last year and a half I have been engaged in the rebuild of my R34. During this time we have spent a lot of time and effort adding small touches here and there to make things a bit more unique. Some are specific, and others are more generic (i.e. for everyone)

One such part that we came up with was a cover plate for the R34GTT Power Steering Cap. Even though the standard one was in OK shape, I found that it was a "dull" point when compared to the rest of my engine bay which is mostly filled with shiny bits n pieces. So as per usual, the spanners were dropped and the drawing board was manned. The design brief was "simple, easy to fit, and attractive". Once the design was finalized, Ann Harris @ K-Bar was contacted to do the hard work - as always she delivered with fabulous results.

Business Details:

Ann Harris

K-Bar Laser Etching

http://k-bar.com.au/

All our initial designs involving this technology were sent to numerous suppliers around Australia. Ann came back with the lowest quote from everyone, and was happy to assist with material choice, artwork and other recommendations. In total, around 20 suppliers were contacted and these guys were by far the best deal for our purposes (i.e. once off designs and productions)

What's on Offer

For those who took part in the R34 Fuse Box Plate Group Buy, the quality of the item is already known... the photos below show MY OWN version of the Power Steering Cap Plate - the final picture is the artwork that Ann has done for me, so I can offer it to you guys. Please note, even though I am 99% sure that this is good for ALL Skylines (dimension wise), please check by taking a ruler to your engine bay!

The third picture is the artwork sent to me this morning by Ann - there are a couple of designs there to choose from. I am under the impression that the numbers required for this GB are TOTAL UNITS, not UNITS PER DESIGN. So mixing n matching the order is fine.

Pricing

Ann is still finalizing the quote based on 0-10, 10-20, and 20+ units.

Just like the last group buy, pricing will include 1x Plate, Postage, and maybe a little surprise (not guaranteed)

GROUP BUY END DATE AT THIS STAGE IS: 15/11/2008 (or earlier pending public interest)

Specifics

Material: 3mm Metalgraph Plus (brushed stainless look)

Etching: All etching will be in BLACK (no exceptions)

Holes: No mounting holes will be needed; two small dabs of adhesive are all that is required for mounting

Care: Minimal care is required, this material is scratch proof - an odd wipe wouldn't hurt though

Interested pending price. Won't want to pay much for such a little thing :dry:

Is one of the bottom 'GT-4's supposed to read 'GT-T'? I would prefer that.

OK quote has just come in from Ann...

10 $18.00 each

11 – 20 $17.00 each

21 – 50 $16.00 each

51 + $15.00 each

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
