    Does anybody have a CAD of the gearbox adaptor plate?
    It should be easy to make as long as I've got a drawing to work to.

    No, it's not something that anyone is going to give out for free understandably.... If I had it I would have made some myself by now.

    Bumpity bump!

    This will go for a while due to the awful Aus $ as seen here.

    :(

    the bailout should have diluted the US currency

    Im still trying to figure this one out. Americans give me the shits, they use money they dont have to pay for money they have lost and the rest of the world goes into finacial freefall?

    I believe it's because of the way currency traders view our ability to weather a global recession when compared to America, anyway lets keep this thread on topic.

    do we have a 5th buyer?

    currently about $340 delivered, we have been jumping up and down to 70c for a while, 70c would make it around $310

    I'm still in for $320

    In reality we have you and me, and one possible. I don't want to buy a spare at this price it's just silly.

    I might chuck it up on SAU and see if we get any bites...

    OK, I'm getting a confirmed price for 3 of these from Mazworx. As soon as I hear back I will be putting the order in.

    If anyone else wants in let me know ASAP!

    are you still buying a few of these Chris? I'm still unsure if i want to go the v8 conversion so don't wanna commit by spending a fair bit on an adapter plate and then to find out i don't want to do it anymore. If you're getting a couple could i buy one off you at a later date?

    Chris was going to buy 2 @ the cheap price, I was also considering it, but since the aussie dollar died it's hardly worth us spending the outlay in the hope that someone will buy one down the track.

    Chris will they do group buy pricing if we buy other shit from them? I'm keen on one of these as well, pending price of course

    I'm only buying one as Anton said, can't justify the extra at the current exchange rate and I need this soon.

    im tempted to buy one and hang it on the wall,nice bit of kit chris :zlove:

    no worries chris. Is this guy always making them or has them in stock? Or is this a once off group buy? I'm happy to pay more for postage later down the track and get one just myself, but if he won't be making more then yeah. Can you PM me his details?

    The guy makes them, but this price is over 50% off retail (normally US$320ish). It's a standard item for him.

    Just search for Mazworx, they are a big SR20 tuning shop in Florida.

    Pricing in!

    US$250 + $35 shipping to your door!

    Price has gone up since we didn't meet the numbers, but is still US$75 under their normal price :cool2:

    Problem is the US$ is now $0.62 :( So that's $460 per adaptor delivered at the current rate :( Still cheaper than modifiying the bellhousing or making your own adaptor and then getting custom made bolts :rolleyes:

    Shall we leave it a week or two? Who knows what the $ will do next and I do need this soon... I don't mind paying through the nose as it makes it easy :p

    If you have US$ in your paypal account you can shoot that to me and it will make it a bit cheaper for you.

    I'm not keen to include the modified plenum in this order, it is HEAVY and LARGE and will make shipping silly. I'm sure someone in Perth could chop the top off and weld in a bit of ally for less $ than it would cost from Mazworx.

    I don't have any USD in my account :( and $460 is a lot, and I'm not sure what you mean about it being cheaper than modifying the bellhousing, because the bellhousing still needs to be modified at extra cost.

    I've also got the auto VH45 bellhousing here that I'm more than happy to graft into the VG bellhousing, so I'm going to have to have a think about this one

    Showed dad the pic and he said he can do it :D
