Z1 60mm Throttle Bodies

ill be the first to put my hand up

its still a bit expensive compared to the offer pzp had though, no chance of getting better pricing for say 10 or more sets?

im 100% in either way though.....

and the links not working for me by the way...??

 

yep im in 100%

good stuff:biggrin:

 

what kind of power would you have to be pushing before these even make a difference?

 

Yes but US$395... thats a far cry from the AUD$300 that we were going to be able to group buy at. Me thinks the price should drop alot more and they'd get more people interested. And its not like they can't do it at that price.

 

What you have to realise Claymen is that Z1 was the initial company that started this project thus incurring several thousand dollars worth of tooling fees and initial startup costs. In other words they have to carry these costs onto the consumer... Selling them at $299AU would mean Z1 is loosing money on a product Russell spent countless hours designing and re-designing.

The reason I could offer them so cheap initially is because the supplier had everything ready so all they needed to do it run a few through their production line.

If you compare this to the normal $500 - $800 throttle bodies that are available for commodores, falcons, etc... The price is very reasonable.

 

yup link works now,cheers

dunno what was wrong before,must have been my pc....

these dont come with the springs and pieces so you need to reuse the existing springs and pieces on the standard throttle bodys,is that correct?....

 

Yer I understand that Z1 had to outlay for it, its just frustrating when the supplier shouldnt have even started talks about selling them to other people when they had a contract/deal not to sell to others. At $299 it was excellent value, affordable for everyone, at US$395 its a substantial step up especially when it may or may not return the results we expect. That said if you want the highest performance it'd be good and i'd consider this down the track. The higher price puts it into the category of "maybe later" rather than the "why not its a bargain". Its still cheaper but not compared to what we were hoping for.

Still, I may consider it but would like a cheaper price

 

Just like the initial PZP group buy, I'm still in 100%.

 

any new word on this yet rob260?....

we need more people guys and gals,c'mon and show your keen for this!

 

approx how much power gains are you expecting rob? i know its hard to say but surely the guys in the states or someone has done a dyno run or something on a similar upgrade........i would assume that there would be a power increase regardless of if your running a high HP motor or not?

 

ZRATED did testing but I havent seen the results yet.

 

...

any word from the us yet rob?
i cant beleive that there isnt more interest after the pzp buy fell through, would have thought there would be more takers on this maybe people are waiting for the better pricing.........
