Hi guys!

Group buys have proven a success for me in the past, (thanks again Nath for the tint a car day :rofl:) so I'd thought I'd try to organise another one to save me money again.

Well, I need a turbo timer, and I've managed to get store to agree to a group buy of those Apexi pen turbo timers. I'm sure you all know which one I'm referring to.

Anyway, the deal is, $150 new (eg in box etc etc..) for 5 or more. Well, I'm getting one, so all I need are four more guys. He mentioned that the next price discount is if we get 10 guys. Don't know how much off, I presume a few bucks, but hey, depending on interest, who knows.

So yeah, tell me your thoughts..... I need one, and from what I can gather, these usually go for more than $150. I guess I'll have to get them, but of course I can ship them out if you don't mind paying for shipping.

Oh, a note to the moderators, no I'm not a business, just looking to save me some money.... Thanks all! :D

Hey, doing some investigation for a guy, and this is what I found.

New parts list are out on the Apexi website

http://www.apexi-usa.com/pricelist.asp?click=1

Check out the price list for part 405-A011, its $US119! Hmmm, that sounds a bit steep to me.....I guess that must be RRP.

But as for a pic, check out http://www.apexi-usa.com/electronics_timer.asp

Gives you photos and specs....

As for prices in the past, I did a search here and guys have been wanting 200 bucks for them....I think he eventually sold for 180 anyway....

Hope this helps.

Thanks

hi just saw this thread i fink you can buy it from ebay cheaper...

also i think the list on the apexi website hasn't been update... as it was dated.. effective a year ago.... i saw it on ebay for $75USD who should work out less then 150 a piece... though that hasn't included shipping but maybe a group of ten buys could also reduce the intial price :D so yeah just helping out... not to burst any bubbles or anythin...:(

Thanks zero.......hmm, let me check ebay then..... no worries, always after a bargin.

The only thing is, I've had pretty disasterous experiences with ebay. (eg bought a pioneer HU from the states. the deh8150, but the states versions. Anyway the OEL display was phucked and had to get the screen fixed............. but get this, because the US had a different model number, even tho its the same phucken thing, had to get the part imported..........ended up costing me 200 bucks more than if I had bought it here!!! :( )

So yeah no more ebay for me thanks......... I'm mean USD75 may be cheaper, but after I factor in shipping and uncertainty and all that shite, come to think of it, I rather pick it up myself........ Nevertheless, thanks for the tip, but given the unpredicatability of sellers on ebay, I think I'll stay. Any others tho, please feel free to try ebay. :D

Oh, I'm in Melb by the way, so is the shop, so yeah, unless you can make it down, again, I have no issue in sending it over, as long as I can get the numbers to help me get the discount.

Thanks.

:D npz.. just to help out thats all... i got a t/t already so i dont need it so just helping out u guys... i personally have tried ebay bought a kenwood h/u aswell from USA it arrived fine everything was a smooth transaction. so i guess its just the supplier... try ask the seller some questions see what they are like but anyways its up to u guys all the best fellas!!:(

Hey Hippy!

Yeah, I too wouldnt mind the others you mentioned, however no shop would offer a group buy thing on those! Well, not at that much of a discounted rate

Guess wouldnt mind getting in from Jap, but that means I have to import, wait, etc etc etc......... cant be phcuked! :D

these things aren't hard to get ... so a greenline or nengun would have them easily .. plus i dont' think people would be scared in handing over about 100 bucks or so ... cause i think thats all ur lookin at for a greddy ... well maybe about 130 i think ...

most timers have the auto sense thing where it leaves the car on for longer ... usually not because u drive it harder ... just that u drive it longer and speed ... i know mine does this ... i think its much better than the apex one ... it has all these other features like speed monitoring , ie warning for speeding over a set speed .. and the list goes on ... great timer for the price ... i'm too lazy to find an official greddy site so heres an ebay auction :(

yeah i like it for the extra features of speedometer and battery voltage reports ... ie do you have a big sound system?? :(

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
