So what I will do is wait on the R4 Vspec 2 price then get firm numbers from you all. Once I have a firm commitment, and we pay a deposit etc [probably to the supplier direct, hopefully that way you

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!!!!

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
