So wait a sec, this ISN'T a group buy any more? :confused:

Its an on going group buy.

I moved 6 of the coolers already and have had interest in more so the price is low for all and there are plenty available.

gR33ddy -

Just a few questions, some have already been partially answered, but with the group buy not being a group buy I am confused. :D

1) So you have them in stock? (or atleast ability to ship straight away)

2) What is expected delivery time from me depositing money? I live in Newcastle, NSW (You said roughly 5 days above..still apply?)

3) Any probs with it fitting an R32 GTST

4) Is it an Australian supplier?

5) Is it possible to get a thermostat model -> How much/Do the above questions still apply to it or will it be different?

6) Did you get pics of your install?

Cheers

Chris

Hey Chris,

The minimum number of sales was met and I have had further interest in the coolers so I can offer them for $400 for individual buyers.

1)They are in stock at my suppliers wharehouse and are ready to be shipped immediately after payment has been received.

2)Delivery around 5 working days by UPS with tracking.

3)Will fit easily. sandwich plate has 2 different threads which will fit most Japanese cars. Skylines no probs.

4)Supplier is in Hong Kong. Cost includes all import duties and GST.

5)Sorry dont have thermostat models available.

6)Will definitely post some pics over the weekend.

;)

Payment Details please?

I will probably order today so I can get it installed for next weekend (going in a motorkhana, need to change oil...be good to not have to do the oil again straight after the motorkhana!)

I am just going to research any issues with not having the thermostat before I buy. Anyone having links to such threads, please post them here :P

EDIT - For others information - Seems the general view is that a thermostat is not required in a climate such as Australia. Only where it is very cold/snow conditions. The problem with not having the thermostat is that the oil is always going through cooler, and may not heat up, thus causing damage to engine. However in Australia it will still warm up even if its going through the cooler all the time!

I added you to the 044 list. Do you still want it?

Heres a link to an excellent install guide for exactly the same oil cooler.

Blk33 has included some good pics and info - well done.

No go for the 044 as the payment date doesn't line up.

I may be able to get it cheaper anyhow, I'm waiting to hear from a friend as he is able to get Bosch items generally very very cheap. I bought a Z32 AFM through him for $280 bran spankin new. :cheers:

Depending on his price I may still need it. But I really should get injectors first.. lol to many things I need to buy and not enough money. lol

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
