I found one supplier on eBay US for around aud$80 delivered so a group buy should lesson the postage making them slightly cheaper again.

Dear Paul, as the expression goes: Shit or get off the pot.

To all those interested in a G35 cover: Since I am not making a red cent on these covers and was just tying to organise it to help out and cover Aus wide shipping costs, may I suggest you guys get in contact with Paul and organise your purchases through him since he can get them cheaper than I can from the US.

I am sure he will be more than willing to help out :thumbsup:

No need for that mate. You asked me to share the link so I thought I would make contact with the supplier I found for a GB price to save you the leg work. Then I was going to pass on the details to you.

I know it's your GB but if I could have shared cheaper pricing for everyone, it could have been a good thing. Don't know I'd bother next time!

Anyway, I just got a reply and they are out of stock and have them on back order with no eta.

Enjoy.

All due respect Paul, you haven't done anything other than jump into someone else's group buy thread touting that you found a supplier that can do it cheaper.

If you had found a supplier, why not post the link up or even better, instead of posting what you did - send it in a PM.

I'd still like to see this supplier that can do it for $80 landed. Feel free to post the link as you did say that you had found it for this price and I'm sure everyone interested would love to save the $10 and the wait for the numbers to enable the group buy.

Future reference, 1) when organising group buy, you work out the supply and pricing BEFORE posting anything 2) "going to" means that you didn't.

I guess it comes down to if you say that you can do it better/cheaper, do it or STFU and GTFO

I said the reasons I did this in my post! When Ryan did a GB on SPC bolts after I did, I shared that supplier with him in his thread. Seeing as SAU won't allow you to edit or delete a post after a short time I couldn't remove it.

That price is a single item landed, not group buy price!

If I go to Melbourne we can meet and you can repeat the above to me!

Cam was asked to do this group buy wasn't he? Why would you essentially try and waste the hours of time he has put into this Paul, for the sake of a couple of dollars? Seems to be a common occurrence with you, just stop and think before you post or PM as not to upset people, he is just trying to help.

I am sure out of the thousands of dealers over in the states there would be one that will undercut the price a little, why don't you call them all...

Cam is most definitely the Technoviking, not to be messed with. lol.

Still haven't seen an ebay link to this seller Paul.

For the sake of all the guys that are interested in buying these covers and saving $12 over my price post it up so they can buy their own instead of waiting for the number of a group buy (no sarcasm).

For the third time, put up or shut up.

Oh, and lol.

This thread has made me think less of the Wastelanders.

Never before have I seen so few pics of women in a thread with so many wastelanders.

I only hope they can get things back on track.

Need 10 (although I'll check).

Have? Not 10 yet

what the heck happened to this thread? anyhow Im out as Im importing it myself now.

Sonny, who did you get it through? If it was cheaper than I can do, can you post up the link/seller for the others that are interested (serious).

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
