    Thanks for your interest guys! I'll update the list when I get home after work...I cant remember if I mentioned it or not, but if we get to 20 buyers, ill ask COZ if we can separate the packages shipping address so there is less postal cost over here..ie QLD/NSW share one and VIC/WA share...its hard as WA is far from any easterns state :p We'll see how it goes anyway!

    Cheers, Andrew

    Thanks again guys..Just a quick update, with a list of who's interested/definite, and what the are after:

    myself - VIC - Definite - Polished (Vic Postal Point)
    Zealous - VIC - Interested - Anodized
    Jinxed - WA - Definite - Polished (Possible Postal Point!)
    silver 300zx - QLD - Interested - n/a
    bigbaz - NSW - Definite - Polished
    Eastern Eye - NSW - Interested - n/a
    hot300zx - VIC - Interested - n/a
    Storm - WA - Interested - Polished
    hypedz - VIC- Definite - Polished
    Adriano-Zed - NSW - Definite - Polished
    loud'n'proud - WA - Interested - n/a
    zedsr4me - Interested - Polished
    BuzZED - NSW - Interested - n/a
    mtentori - WA - Interested - Polished
    highonboost - QLD - Interested - Polished

    sirzx - QLD - Interested - Polished
    Marklar - QLD - Interested - Polished
    Ascension - NSW - Interested - Polished

    So that makes it:

    Four (Two Definite) from VIC
    Five (Two Definite) from NSW
    Four from QLD
    Four (One Definite)from WA
    with one unknown..


    Just to answer a few questions...
    • I wont be needing payment until we know for sure what numbers are being ordered..that way there is no confusion on amounts paid etc etc.
    • On the same note, I AM looking to finish this up in the next week and a bit so we can hopefully get these by christmas!
    • Fitment of these should be as simple as removing the instrument panel cover, and glueing them on. Also giving it time to set properly [dont leave it to dry with windows up in the sun!] :p
    • REMINDER: I'M EXPECTING SOME SMALL ADDITIONAL COSTS WITH IMPORT TAXES & LOCAL POSTAGE, SO PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND, I DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO SAY I DIDN'T WARN THEM :p
    • I don't think this will be much, but could inflate the cost by $2-$10, but this im yet to find out officially, so dont worry too much!

    If we get enough for one state to get their own batch, does anyone have a quarm about having a "meet" so you can pick them up, rather than posting them out again ie costing more??

    Cheers, Andrew

    Good to see some more definites :) Thanks again guys..yet another quick update, with a list of who's interested/definite, and what the are after:

    myself - VIC - Definite - Polished (Vic Postal Point)
    Zealous - VIC - Interested - Anodized
    Jinxed - WA - Definite - Polished (Possible Postal Point!)
    silver 300zx - QLD - Interested - n/a
    bigbaz - NSW - Definite - Polished
    Eastern Eye - NSW - Interested - n/a
    hot300zx - VIC - Interested - n/a
    Storm - WA - Interested - Polished
    hypedz - VIC- Definite - Polished
    Adriano-Zed - NSW - Definite - Polished
    loud'n'proud - WA - Interested - n/a
    zedsr4me - Interested - Polished
    BuzZED - NSW - Interested - n/a
    mtentori - WA - Interested - Polished
    highonboost - QLD - Interested - Polished

    sirzx - QLD - Interested - Polished
    Marklar - QLD - Interested - Polished
    Ascension - NSW - Interested - Polished

    Zorro - SA - Definite - Polished
    Kalus - QLD - Definite - Polished

    So that makes it:

    Four (Two Definite) from VIC
    Five (Two Definite) from NSW
    Five (One Definite) from QLD
    Four (One Definite) from WA
    One (One Definite) from SA
    with one unknown..

    So thats SEVEN people who are definitely in, we need three more to make it viable! As I said, all import costs will be divided by the number of buyers, so it should only add a few dollars at the most!! Common for those 12 who are still only interested ;) would be great to have you join us :)

    Cheers, Andrew

    lol, no need to worry, i'll be sending out PMs to EVERYONE when i get my final pricing. I'm hoping to have my answers by lunchtime tomorrow. If all goes to plan, I'll send out the PMs, get "official" numbers, re post them on the forum again, and order them mid-late next week! Just depends how long people take to reply to their PMs...

    For the size and weight that they are, its probably going to be easier to just ship them to one place...mine, and ill send them out again as it shouldnt cost too much. Otherwise we'll be stuffing around COZ too much, and things just get difficult. I'd be posting them in smaller groups per state. or individually if you happen to live a fair way away from the other zedders..

    all of this i will try to organise next week. ie getting everyone to vote on who in which states will be trusted to hand out the gauges...again, i will be informing you all through PMs.

    so, plan is:

    • Get Last Answers/Pricing from COZ
    • Post lastest answers and pricing on forum
    • Leave for new interested users for the weekend
    • Then monday, send ALL interested/definite buyers a PM to find out final intentions
    • Wait for replies
    • With each reply, a payment method will be explained for that user
    • New thread for deciding who in each state gets the "diverted" gauges to hand out.
    • Once all replies are returned and payments received, the order will be made
    • <1 - 2 week shipping time?>
    • Stock comes to my PO Box postal address
    • Keep all VIC items, repack and post interstate packages
    • Each state representative has a "meet" to hand out christmas presents
    • Everyone installs their gauge rings
    • Everyone has a merry christmas!!! :D

    Long and probably boring to read, but I think that covers EVERYTHING! If not let me know!!

    Cheers, Andrew

    Oh and btw, here is a newly updated list :) Thanks again guys..

    myself - VIC - Definite - Polished (Vic Postal Point)
    Zealous - VIC - Interested - Anodized
    Jinxed - WA - Definite - Polished (Possible Postal Point!)
    silver 300zx - QLD - Interested - n/a
    bigbaz - NSW - Definite - Polished
    Eastern Eye - NSW - Interested - n/a
    hot300zx - VIC - Interested - n/a
    Storm - WA - Interested - Polished
    hypedz - VIC- Definite - Polished
    Adriano-Zed - NSW - Definite - Polished
    loud'n'proud - WA - Interested - n/a
    zedsr4me - Interested - Polished
    BuzZED - NSW - Interested - n/a
    mtentori - WA - Interested - Polished
    highonboost - QLD - Interested - Polished

    sirzx - QLD - Interested - Polished
    Marklar - QLD - Interested - Polished
    Ascension - NSW - Definite - Polished

    Zorro - SA - Definite - Polished
    Kalus - QLD - Definite - Polished

    Spinzzx - NSW - Interested - Polished

    So that makes it:

    Four (Two Definite) from VIC
    Six (Three Definite) from NSW
    Five (One Definite) from QLD
    Four (One Definite) from WA
    One (One Definite) from SA
    with one unknown..

    So thats EIGHT out of 21 people who are definitely in. CRESTA has these for $55 delivered! But he's out of stock because his supplier's not being helpful, but if we can get to 20, we can have a nearly identical price! We need minimum 10, to get cheaper prices and shipping for the parts. Im sure Zealous would be up for it, so who else to get our min required figure??

    Thanks Tim! ..Little bit of bad news...COZ didnt get back to me today as I had hoped so I don't think i'll get a reply until tuesday morning because of the time difference (their monday is basically our tuesday...) :( Sets my plans back a bit...anyway here's another updated list :) Thanks guys..

    myself - VIC - Definite - Polished (Vic Postal Point)
    Adriano-Zed - NSW - Definite - Polished
    Ascension - NSW - Definite - Polished
    bigbaz - NSW - Definite - Polished
    BuzZED - NSW - Interested - n/a
    Eastern Eye - NSW - Interested - n/a
    highonboost - QLD - Interested - Polished
    hot300zx - VIC - Interested - n/a
    hypedz - VIC- Definite - Polished
    Jinxed - WA - Definite - Polished (Possible Postal Point!)
    Kalus - QLD - Definite - Polished
    Lidz - VIC - Definite - Polished
    loud'n'proud - WA - Interested - n/a
    Marklar - QLD - Interested - Polished
    mtentori - WA - Interested - Polished
    silver 300zx - QLD - OUT..
    sirzx - QLD - Interested - Polished
    Spinzzx - NSW - Interested - Polished
    Storm - WA - Interested - Polished
    Zealous - VIC - Definite - Anodized or Polished
    zedsr4me - ??? - Definite - Polished
    Zorro - SA - Definite - Polished

    So that makes it:

    Five (Four Definite) from VIC
    Six (Three Definite) from NSW
    Four (One Definite) from QLD
    Four (One Definite) from WA
    One (One Definite) from SA
    with one (One Definite) unknown state..

    So thats ELEVEN out of 21 people who are definitely in. We only need a minimum of 10, but I'll be leaving this on over the next few days to see if there is any more interested/more definites. Speaking to a few people, they are sure the busniess pays for all import taxes in their postage price...so thats the main answer im waiting to hear from COZ if they do in fact cover payments to your (well my) door! Once I find this out, and therefore that TOTAL costs involved, I'll let everyone know and I'll put the wheels in motion :D

    Cheers, Andrew

    can i suggest giving it a couple of extra days so we can

    get as many people in on this as possible....
    this is a mod alot of people have wanted but havent been able to get so give them a chance to order/confirm orders so they dont miss out.....
    i for one dont really care about the price personally im not missing out no matter what happens,might not get another chance.....lol
    thanks for organising krause007,much appreciated:D

    Gday EE, yeah, the prices coming from the US would be between $51.50 and $50.50 if we order between 20 and 29 items sold, or if i can only get between 10 and 19 items sold the price would be between $58.60 and $56.20.

    But the email that im waiting for is to confirm that the shipping price does or does not include any taxes that occur when they get here...i.e. to confirm if these prices are to our #1 postal point. Postage for these around australia will be very cheap, but if we get slugged with aussie taxes they price might go up a few dollars.

    Jinxed, I know what you mean, its just tight for whether we can get these before christmas, or if we have to wait til the new year...we can always do a secon batch for others as the difference between having a batch of 10 twice and having one batch of 20 is only a few dollars. But if we have to wait a few weeks to get the extra numbers..

    I won't be ordering til the end of this coming week anyway, Ill just be getting payments off those who are definites etc ready to pay COZ..I just need the final details from them so I can giveeveryone a concrete figure that they'll need to pay me :)

    Thanks again for your questions guys!

    Cheers, Andrew

    P.S. shame to hear about mtentori's situation! just want to pass on my deepest thoughts on the loss of his car, and hope that it can be recovered with as little damaged/missing as possible!
