that's the one alright... even in different config... the power rating is the same.

couldnt see what would justify a 1k higher price tag.

but meh, i'll contact GCG and see what the story is.

Get me the exact specs, & I'll order them. Still waiting for about another 2 orders. Otherwise we don't get the extra 10% off the wholesale price.

Is that this one?

There are a lot of different compressor/turbine wheel and housing combos, there are 9 GT30's on Ray Halls site alone. The GCG one is a 550-600hp one, so you need to find out what parts the $1900 one is made from and what it's rated to.

Hi Rowdyr32

I thought the same thing, however he said if I recall correctly, they were all the same price. I will confirm this week.

Also, regarding cores, parts etc, I'd prefer to just organise discounts for SAU on the turbos. As parts etc can be a back & forth, doesn't fit..etc etc

If i order a core it'll be to put in something and machine out to MAKE it fit, but no matter i'm not in the market at this very moment, i was just interested in pricing for in the future.

Thanks.

Hmm how do I order the GT3040 then - pay direct with you mentioning group buy?

Since this is a group buy I have to ask is the SAU discount going to be the same price or is it going to cost more in future?

I haven't exactly the best method for payment as yet, but it would be pay before you receive, no Aus Post COD, all prices don't include delievery. I can only get a continual discount depending on our first few orders. If we can come up with the numbers 5~10units as our inital order, then it shouldn't be a prob later on. But at this stage it looks like I have around 3orders so we are still a little off.

    • Hooley Dooley these things have some history! If i sell them they will need a certificate of providence to prove they have been in the hands of verified RB20 royalty! They have been stored in a plastic tub, away from sunlight and moisture. They are in mint condition. And they will stay that way, as i have sprung the money for a set of shockworks coilovers. I'm just working on getting them in at the moment, after rebushing the rear of the car, and while the subframe was out i welded in the GKtech reinforcement bracing as well.  They will get a workout at Ararat King of The Hill in November. I ran 48s on the short course there a few months ago, and i am hoping with new bushes and shocks in the rear i can launch a bit harder. There was a fair bit of axle tramp when i tried too hard off the line. a few of the corners had dips mid way which also made the car feel a bit unsettled, hopefully this will help there too.   
    • Food for thought, the stock oil filter thread is a 3/4-16 UNF, which has an ID of about 10 to 12mm (according to ChatGPT lol). Now compare than to an 10AN, which has an ID of about 14mm (Raceworks is 14.2mm, Speed flow is 14.27mm).  
    • Yep, totally get that. However hooking in for Generator back up is only a few hundred bucks for the wiring. You could put a couple of those in (for different circuits explicitly) and run a couple of baby generators. Bonus, you can balance them across different circuits, and now have backups in your backup. I'm looking at buying places that won't even have water etc, and I don't mind the idea of getting off the electric grid either, even with everything you've said. This country already has enough power outages that even the mains grid isn't that reliable anymore. I do agree though on spending a bit more to get better gear, and to add some extra redundancy in to the system too.
    • You can set hard reserves on your battery system, and it can't be discharged past that.  
    • That sounds like an excellent idea. But total self-sufficiency means exactly that. You have no-one else to blame when your system faults out and you have no power for a week or two while it gets fixed. You'd have to go the whole hog and get a diesel genny and all the switchover gear, to get you through such times. And, despite the fact that over 20 years, my system has been pretty reliable**, I have seen so many inverter explosions (or less dramatic deaths), panel and roof JB fires, and so on, over that time, to know that the stuff is the same as any other bulk Chinese manufactured stuff. The failure rate is well above zero - both on the equipment and on behalf of the meth addled installation labour force. And then..... warranty and means of redress against the supplier you bought the gear from. Best I can tell is that only a handful of solar companies are still around within 5 years of starting their advertising pitch. They disappear and phoenix like crazy. So, as per 1st paragraph, I suspect the only way to is go balls deep and spend maybe 2-3 times as much as you might think, so that you have every base covered. Plus, know and understand your gear intimately, so you can diagnose problems, sort them out yourself, etc, etc. Plus, probably have to consider upgrading various parts as the years pass, to maintain compatibility with newer stuff, performance and reliability, etc, etc. Whereas, remaining attached to the grid has an ongoing cost that keeps going up even if you use bugger all power from it. But it does provide the fallback in case of the worst case with your own gear. You either pay up front or as you go, I suspect.
