Updates on the Albins?

No.  Over 12 weeks now and no eta to date.  Was supposed to have it by now.   Joke. I just this afternoon enquired about cancelling.

Albins have moved into the defence industry sector and since this move there customer service regarding their sequentials has gone to poo.

Yes I have heard that from a few people now. Real shame.

Thanks Christian....  I'm having an R34 GTR wheel done at the moment as well - a man needs options!

Imagine the lead time in the event you need replacement parts

best of going with a samsonas mate! They are used in all the TRP shop cars and their after sales service is pretty spot on 

Im looking into it now mate.. waiting to hear back from my workshop.

+1 for Samsonas. Can't fault the box nor the customer service.

Only downside is if parts aren't in stock they need to come from Lithuania but even that is faster than Albins at the moment...

Case on its way for Anodizing and things are moving.

At end of the day - do I really need a Albins, Samsonas, Hollinger etc?  No. 

Car has never seen a track day, drags, etc.  Occasional street driving, cruzin, etc - and back in the garage.

Its way over kill for what I will ever need - but - hoping I will never have box issues again (at least not for a very long time).

I am setting up the internal oiling system on the Albins to run to a rear diff cooler (Z Tune style)....  again huge overkill for me - but fark it ;) will be functional and look amazing.  I have also slightly tweaked the shifter /strain gauge setup/look to what's offered standard.

Adding a new Motec ecu and c1212 dash etc. when the box goes in.  (thanks to Moray).

Ill just chill and wait - I'm sure this box will be more than I ever expected or needed!

Its a investment (that's what I tell myself so I don't cry) ;)

Is the case the issue, because that's not made by Albins, I figured Albins is the hold up?

Albins makes the case - they send to Platinum - they anodize and send back for gear set to be installed.

    • 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.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • 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
