Looks like I will be fitting the coloured ones for now!!!

I got my kit yesterday. The oil cooler is a very high quality unit, so much better that the cheap Chinese ones :)

Who knows...

I think they will try and send them out as soon as they can though. Might mean two people a month or more....or just one lol.

So how do we fit this beast of a thing? Actually my car is going in for some work this weekend what would be a resonable price to get this fitted?

UPDATE

The rest of the kits have been sent so I will PM every one their tracking numbers now :)

Also regarding the black fittings, they are is such short supply that Hel have an allowance of 5 of each black fitting a month! So they will just have to send them out as they come in one person at a time. I will go last so every one else can get theirs first. Unfortunately that's the best they can do :(

hey phil, i am happy to get the fittings last. i'can't fit my kit for a long time anyways.:(

Hmmm not sure. Depends on how tricky it is to mount the core where you want it. I will be putting a day aside for it. A professional that has done one may take a few hours maybe? Plus the cost of some new oil.

Mine arrived today. Unfortunately it has sustained damage in the shipping, which shows the quality of the powder coating may not be as good as it could be.

What is the best approach to getting this resolved?

Small scratches appear when touching the mounting bracket

Looking forward to seeing how this is to be mounted, it's not instantly obvious to me. The instructions say 4 brackets should be used (I have the 25 row), but we only received one bracket.

God f**king damnit this just keeps getting better and better.

I would just hit it with some touch up paint, but that's me. Only thing we can do is send the photos to the supplier and ask for it to be returned and a new one shipped. I mean that's really the only way I can think of it getting fixed.

With the brackets two are not required, one is fine. I don't even understand how you could use two of those brackets given that the fittings on the top mean you can only use the supplied bracket on the bottom of it.

Personally I will be mounting mine in the drivers side gaurd and therefore will most likely have to make custom small brackets regardless since it will be sitting in a position where the given bracket will probably be no use.

Core isnt damaged so it should be fine, a lick of paint and you'll never know.

Mine arrived yesterday :thanks:

Very happy with the quality of the kit, looks a million times better then the cheapo ones.

A Z145 fits, checked it last night. As for mounting, on a 32 it looks pretty straight forward, head down to bunnings and make some brackets and mount it in the drivers guard, the bracket they supply is actually really good.

Once you bolt it up the powder coating will most likely come away around the mounting holes anyway.

Abit of touch up paint would do the trick but it sucks to wait this long and get a product that doesn't look brand new.

Anyone know if we should use some sort of thread tape on the fittings so there's no leaks?

Received mine yesterday. Mint!

Thanks heaps for organising this group-buy Phil. You're a champ...

& try not to let slight hiccups stop you in the future. It happens...

Hell it can happen without group-buys. Took 6 months for UAS to make & deliver my camber arms & that was personally, not through group-buy!

Looking forward to some pics. Got quoted at least 3 hours to install mine.

Knocked mine back into shape, hope it fits well. sux not to have it looking new but after the delays in getting it, I'd rather get it installed.

I'll try and take some pics soon, mounted mine yesterday. Pretty straight forward job, just time consuming getting everything where you want it and cutting the lines was a bit of a bitch.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
