Replied to your PM,

I am in, however, we need to plan for if it has to be posted from a central location and how much that will cost ontop. Also does this mat include the clips required to fix them to the bonnet? If I remember correctly they are just push ins.

Hadouken, They are just push in, and if you have a proper remover tool [available from Supercheap etc for under $10] you will be able to re use the ones you have. But I will ask if they come with the mat anyway. I also seem to remember blister packs of similar clips at Repco and Supercheap, not sure if they are the right size though.

Postage, I think the supplier [based in Melbourne] is going to handle that, not me. There could be opportunity for Vic people to pick up......I'll need to confirm.

The rest of us will have to fork out a bit more for postage, there could be some cost saving if several band together and use one address for say Sydney - but I don't know.

I am in country NSW so not the best person for sorting that one out - I was always going to pay postage, I always do for anything I buy.

Yeah, mine is tattered over the fan belt area. The turbo is on a HKS cast lowmount so heat from it is not such a problem. I think its because of age [mat is 17 years old] and the fact that I'm in the country so dirt and insects and dust get flung around in the engine bay by the belts.

My 6boost is low mount but it does rise before it goes down to the turbo. I have developed quite a bit of damage in the mat around the manifold area so not sure if its the age + the heat or just the heat. Will find out the hard way I guess lol

OK here is the story so far:

Everyone has replied to my PM except R33 gtrv-spec.

Stretch GSK has pulled out and Robzilla had to when R32 mats became unavailable.

So we had 16, we now have 13. So the price will not be the cheaper$239 but the next one up $251, so $12 a mat dearer.

Tomorrow I will send out bank details and start collecting funds [sick today sorry].

Hadouken, the method is you will pay me for the mats, I will then send a bulk payment to the suppliers. This payment will NOT include any postage, handling, or packaging.

I will send each person account details for direct deposit along with enough personal information about me to hopefully give you faith in me as a person. If you still have questions PM me and I'll try to answer them.

The supplier will then arrange for the items and have them shipped to their base in Australia. Could be 4-6 weeks or so, they are using surface shipping and a cargo container to keep costs down.

Once they have the items they will contact me and I will then contact each of you in turn and tell you how to approach the supplier [account numbers, contact details and an identifying customer number].

Postage, handling and packaging will be between you and the supplier, we live in different areas so the costs will be different.

I hope that is ok with everyone, I would have liked a few things different, but I tried and the supplier thought I was making it too complex for them.

That sounds terrific Hadouken. Fingers crossed it works out like that.

And latest:

Yep, the regular BNR34 one is the same price as the other fullsize ones.

And yep, if you've got 15, then they're $239 for the fullsize, and $220 for the smaller ones.


Regards,

Daniel

Unfortunately, unless we get some late comers we will not get the $239 price, so the prices will be $251 and $232 respectively.

Could work out for me if they arrive around Christmas because I'll be in Melbourne. If postage is an arm and a leg hit me up and I'll just drive them to nsw for interested parties.

That would be awesome!

Your call mate, happy to contribute, would cost me anyway.

Anyway, I've just sent out my details and banking info to all involved. Get back to me if you didn't get the PM or you need more detail.

Getting to the pointy end now!!!!

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
