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?? :(

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
