    OK guys, the other group buy thread I've been promising for a while now... for those of you that missed this thread http://www.aus300zx.com/forum/showthread.php?t=262901 in Z-Related, there has been alot of interest in replacement heater cores. Problem with the Nissan ones is they 1)cost a fortune and 2)even new ones have been known to fail.

    UAS have offered an awesome group buy price on the replacement cores that they use, which are approximately 10mm thicker than Nissan cores and have had no problems reported to date. Due to being thicker, these cores will require you to die grind the recess (roughly half an hour in labour) where they sit in order to fit.

    Price, freight and availability
    List price on these is $150, but for a group buy of five or more cores our price will be $85/core.

    Freight will be $15 anywhere in AUS, well packaged and insured.

    These cores are in stock and ready to send now so the lead time depends on how long it takes five people to put their hand up. I don't think this will take too long... :cool:

    How to order
    To place your order I will need a 50% deposit paid to me (please PM for bank details), with the remaining 50% due when the group buy is closed. I know some people are in a hurry for their heater cores so we will start sending these out as soon as five deposits have been received.

    Group buy will close in four weeks on monday 23rd July, but as stated above we will start sending cores once five orders have been received.

    Taps/Valves
    A few people asked about replacement valves in the Z-Related thread. Most of the time you can re-use your old valve, but there is no way to know for sure until the core has been removed. I have some pricing on the way for those interested in a new valve to go with their cores.

    I think i've covered everything but as always feel free to PM/Post any questions... :D

    Hi Rob

    I'm in for one of these please.:biggrin:
    How about a photo of one as well, just so we all know exactly what we are getting & the mods that you mention that need to be done to make these fit properly.

    Cheers

    I'm with Keza on this one Rob,

    Would you be able to describe in more detail or post a picture (or two:biggrin: ) on the 'recess' you are referring to - thanks.

    If this doesn't look too difficult then I'd be in too. But no promises at this stage - I assumed it would be a 'minor' mod to get it to fit. Wow half an hour with a die grinder:eek: wish I had one to use, only an angle grinder here...

    Valves etc

    OK for those who are after a complete assembly including valve, this can be supplied for an extra $118.

    Anyone know how common it is for the tap to leak? I didn't expect it to be so expensive.

    No way to know for sure if the tap is in OK condition until it is removed... John @ UAS reckons that most of the time the taps are OK.
