I have seen this guy on Ebay for bloody ages and a couple of friends have bought through him and say the product is very good. Items are likethis (click). But the guy has literally hundreds of different designs (have a look at his other items for sale). The catch is you buy the item for 1c, but the postage is US$29.99 - so for US$30 (around $40) you get one of these damn cool signs. But, he has stipulated that if you buy 5, then the cost is US$130.04 (about $171 or around $34.20 each).

So, I will have 2 at this price, is anyone else interested on some? The designs range from beer ads to sporting teams to pictures/murals (from what I remember seeing previously).

I like these ones in particular: Dolby digital, another Duff, and Coke, Guinness, PS2 etc etc

Obviously if we could get more numbers, I'm sure he would slash the price even further!!

By the way, they are fully compatible with our power, the easiest thing to do is cut off the 2 prong plug (I think it is a HK type plug), buy a cheap-ass extension cord, cut the end off it, and solder the wires together. Easy. But I will be wall-mounting my units, and running the power leads straight into the roof and hard-wiring them to switches.

So who wants one/some? They would even be very cool as a night light in your bedroom or shed!!!

he does Pie, but it is a minimum of 10 pieces and costs US$500 delivered. I am still negotiating a good deal for us.

I am going to have to get payment upfront. PM me if you want to come give me cash (I am in Northgate - near Oakden), or I'll give you my bank details.

The only issue is GST or customs .... hopefully we don't get taxed at all, but we have to be prepared in case we get stung. I would think it would be an absolute maximum of $10 - per unit, but I guess we would have to cross that bridge when/if we came to it. I don't think it would be a problem though.

At under $35 I think these things are an absolute bargain!!! Check out how much similar signs sell for locally on Ebay or the Beer Gear shop - you will be surprised how expensive they really are!!

ok, he has been pretty un-negotiable on price, even when I threatened to take our business elsewhere. The price is A$36 each, which includes insurance, postage and handling (insurance was extra but well worth it I think).

Please PM me with the exact design you want (PMing me a list of Ebay item links would probably be helpful so as to avoid confusion between similar signs), and your postage address. At this point it is not 100% clear, but I am hoping this price is for postage individually, as this is less likely to arouse suspision with customs etc .... after all if we get a batch of 10+ in, then it looks like we would be selling them and hence duteis should be paid. As these are for personal use, I don't think that would be fair. If he won't post to individual addresses, I'll get them posted to me and will have to distribute. Kamikazee33, obviously if I have to repackage yours and post them, I'll have to ask for you to cover postage. Wouldn't be much I suspect.

I will PM all you back my bank details, or you can ring me to deliver cash. Or those coming Saturday night to Matt's Birthday bash can pay there. I am not sure of shipping times, but I would asume it would all happen pretty quickly. As you would understand I am not making any money out of this and aren't responsible for delays. Hopefully it doesn't happen, but there are no guarantees. I am sure it will all be fine.

So let me know firm numbers and let's get the ball rolling.

Kamikazee33 can you please give me the links to all 3 signs u want ... there are a few different design Coke and Duff ones - do the layout like MattRs if you don't mind :P

no worries mate - I just want to make sure I get the orders right :P ....

I will keep the orders open for a few more days, so anyone else interested let me know. And can EVERYONE who wants one (or multiple) PM me their address and how they want to pay. I will need payment by say next Wednesday at the latest. I'll close ordering then and make the order to them. Sound fair?

ORDERING & PAYMENT CLOSES WEDNESDAY 24th NOVEMBER!!! No payment, no order - that's the way its gotta be :D

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
