Trust33 -The GTR, GTT and GTS-t kit's are all counted as the same group buy. A GTT kit is no different to a GTS-t.

Al - We are checking interest at the moment so I'd say in the next couple of weeks unless Scotsman has any other plans?

Ok seems like we have plenty on interest on this one to go ahead with the first 5. The group buy will not close ever. Just wait till 5 people are confirmed then buy will occur.

I want to get the first round going before PIRAC club day. Will post up my account details for people to deposit into then buy will go ahead. PM me if you have other ideas about payment methods. Otherwise I will handle the transactions.

Got a bit more info for those interested in a remote filter setup without cooler.

Awaiting on prices using blue tube and the 5+ buy price.

UAS have a braided filter kit for a GTR for $380, and a Greddy unit for $280. Not sure 1m of hose is sufficient but would be close (Anyone got a GTR setup already and a tape measure??)

Attached are better pics of the plates, Single O ring but it's bloody thick.

Note no mounting bracket.

John,

Ok the remote filter kit only in braded line would be approximately $463 retail

(allowing total of 1m hose - depends on where you mount your filter!) SAU discount to $405 per kit.

See pics of the blocks - line would go from the adaptor block on the engine to the

remote filter mount & back to the engine.

You don't need a thermostat on one of these setups unless when you wake up there is snow everywhere! Australia is not cold enough (perhaps a snow resort?!) to require a thermostat setup. The remote thermostat setups are $132 each - but be aware there are quite a few extra fittings required to plum them up (ie expensive! - min 4 more adaptor & 4 more braded hose fittings & a one way valve)  

Adaptor to block has a large thick o-ring - see pic

The remote filter block has provision for 3 6mm bolts to mount it to your firewall.

Ok. I'd like to start collections.

Bank details as follows, use SAU nick as description.

Check the first post for the edit. I will keep this up to date. Once five people are paid coolers will be avaliable. Meridian has stock. I will take full responsibility for any money transfered and will keep corespondance with people throughout the transaction. If people change their mind I will refund all monies deposited, unless Meridian have been handed the money. I am making no profit from this group buy and have no affliation with Meridian other than being a good customer. If you feel uncomfortable with any of this PM me and we can set something up. I am more than happy to meet people in person.

Edited to try and make it clearer

These oil cooler options will allways be avaliable to all SAU members/forum go-ers. We will wait until 5ppl are confirmed and then order to make the group discount applicable. However you can get just one at any time directly from Meridian. I am happy to handle this for as long as people require the coolers.

I've included an add a Meridian thermostat option to the cost matrix (couple of posts down):

Ok just done all the checking up on the oil thermostats & one way valves etc -

please note I've accidentally quoted you an ex-tax price on that thermostat housing

- retail is $143, not $130! (forgot his price list showed all retail prices ex

tax!!)

Anyway - here we go....

Braded installation type oil thermostat assembly:

Retail $533, SAU1 $469, SAU5+ $438

Pushlock installation type oil thermostat assembly:

Retail $508, SAU1 $440, SAU5+ $415

This unit will fit in between the oil filter & the oilcooler - the assembly includes

all required fittings - it can be retrofitted just by cutting the oil lines &

mounting it up.

Also note that the supplier has limited supplies of the one way valve that is fitted

with this installation, so kits may not be available "immediately" may take a day or

2 to find more valves.

Regards,

T

OK, my supplier is more expensive so i will be in this group buy :).

xfixiate: You have completely confused me :Oops:

Are you saying that UAS prices are cheaper. i.e: $320 for the complete kit without remote filter option. Is the kit as good as this one.

SAU NICK...NAME............CAR..........COOLER REQUIRED...........PRICE...PAID

....Al...........Alan C.........R33 Gtst...No Remote Filter, Pushlock...$440......No (Waiting on xfixiate response)

xfixiate: Are you saying that UAS prices are cheaper. i.e: $320 for the complete kit without remote filter option.  Is the kit as good as this one.

UAS sell an oil cooler with braided lines but WITHOUT the adapter to connect it (ie you get two braided lines and the cooler only) for $320. If you alreayd have a remote filter you could probably connect this up (assuming hoses were long enough) in place of one of the short hoses. Or buy a filter block adapter.

If you kitted up the Meridian option to the same spec as UAS (ie include the thermostat), you'd probably find UAS was cheaper:

UAS = $1150 Retail

Meridian = $438+825 = $1263 (at group buy price), $533+$1025=$1558 (retail).

If you were after a complete GTR cooler kit in braid including thermostat and remote filter, then UAS retail would be cheaper than the Meridian Group buy price by about $100.

If you just want a remote filter arrangement (no cooler) UAS are cheaper retail if (Greddy at $280 or custom at $320/$380/$395 - depending on when you asked and GTR or GTST.

If you're after a three hose remote filter and cooler setup with NO thermostat, Meridian seems to be the go (no such kit from UAS).

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • 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.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
