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.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
