Just received an email from Jesse. Cost for me around $510 by air give or take exchange rate, thats going it solo. I'm the 8th person so if 12 is the magic number then there is a way to go based on this thread. In any case I'm down with this.

My questions being answered may help getting me in -.-

Kolossus, sorry but I can't answer your question about whether anyone wants to pair with you in Qld...however, the cost without pairing is approximately $510 (air freight).

In terms of payment, we first need to get all 12 orders in with Jesse. Once this is done, Jesse will finalise the quote and respond to us requesting for payment for just the headlights. Once we all have made payment to Jesse (and noting that this may take some time), Jesse will then proceed to order the headlights from the supplier.

So to answer your question on how soon payment needs to be made, this really depends on how soon we hit the 12 orders mark.

Hope this clarifies things.

Cheers,

Keith

Just received an email from Jesse. Cost for me around $510 by air give or take exchange rate, thats going it solo. I'm the 8th person so if 12 is the magic number then there is a way to go based on this thread. In any case I'm down with this.

You are the 8th person to have contacted Jesse but since 4 people are pairing up, there may already be 12 orders (i.e.4 out of the 8 pax have ordered 2 sets).

Ok..latest update from Jesse below:

"numbers are getting there but now need to go through and find out what

people want as I found a few guys dont want coupe lights they want

sedan lights which are a different price."

I'm not sure how many of the 12 orders are for sedan lights. Looks like we are not quite there yet. Hang it there guys.:/

You know as much as anyone else from the info in this thread.

No, it would seem no-one is interested/available to pair with you. As I explained previously, if you don't have a pairing, email Jesse directly, let him know what you want and where you are located, and he will give you a quote. So far we have only seen a slight increase in price for singles - around $20-$30 more. So in a product where you are saving $120 or so, it is still a great deal. Jesse did say too, that the sedan lights are cheaper.

Payment is due in the next few days, assuming we get the final numbers responded to Jesse and it is all sorted.

Can each pair make sure that one person transfers the $$ to the other, as when we get the final go-ahead one of each pair is to transfer the $$ to Jesse (obviously non-paired people just transfer their own $$). I already have the $500 from Heretical, so our pair is ready to go.

Npz mate. Like I said - ANYONE that wants in on this group buy needs to email Jesse (or if you are in a pair, the 'dominant' member can email him), and we will get the ball rolling.

I feel like such a bitch now...

OK Jesse emailed me back as follows (I have taken the last bit of each email address off so we don't get spammed. Can everyone have a quick look over this list and make sure it is 100% correct?

Ive got (have checked twice but possibly have missed someone, have been searching on v35 so if someone didnt list that in their email I might have missed them)

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
