Hi All,

To avoid taxes we should limit group buys to 4

I have managed to negotiated 4 packs for about USD910 (less than USD790 minus shipping so can avoid taxes), whish equates to USD227.5 (AUD292) each.

Single purchase is USD250, so an overall USD22.5 (AUD28) saving

Gb is only worth it for people living in the same city.

who form Sydney would like to proceed with the first GB?

Only 4 places

someone should volunteer for thr 2nd one!

Cheers,

Danny

I'm in Melbourne, anyone else from Melbourne intersted?

Frank, I was one of the original 4 but i'm in Melbourne, so if you're in Sydney you can still join those guys in the 4ppl group buy.

imo for a $28 saving its not worth the hassle to organise the group buy, if it does get picked up by customs for whatever reason then yes still you will be paying even more in the end.

then you cant even send it interstate, as once you do, then you have to pay for postage as well.

also keep in mind that if paying by credit card, there is international currency exchange fees, and if paying by paypal, their exchange rate is always lower than the current exchange rate.

i would just buy it myself to avoid the hassle.

good try on the group buy, but not worth it imo.

What do you think danny is it worth it ?

Im in sydney so any savings is more money for petrol :)

Hey guys

have talked with Tony from Riverside Inifniti, since organising the Motordyne Group buy he is happy to help out on any other ones in the future.

I asked him if he sells the JWT which i think they do and can do a GB on that with the Z Tube for 4 untis delivered to sydney.

So i will get back to you with a price.

Yeah mark let me know. Im waiting on purchasing this in the next few weeks.

Tony's reply:

the JWT pop charger, we do not actually carry that brand any longer since they were not too popular with our customers.

I have personally tested over 6 different intakes, and found that the JWT does not benefit performance wise over OEM w/K&N filter. The JWT heats up and the heat shield does not work.

the best intake I've tested as far as lowering intake temps consistantly is the Stillen cold air box w/Z tube. I'd recomend this to anyone, and use this on my 350Z actually. When compared to the JWT the stillen is significantly lower when looking at intake air temps during hot summer days etc...

I can set up group buys on these for you as well, with no worries. Just let me know

so if anyone wants the stillen, let me know

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
