Listen up CA people, visited Nuke today and this is the result:

Cam gears, 100% aluminum with helicoil threads for max strenght. 260 USD / kit.

Fuel rail, supports over 800 hp. AN 8 fittings or your choise. 125 USD

Engine mounts, nylon, delrin or alu. 40 USD / 2 pcs

FPR, ball valve instead of regular needle valve for better flow. 200 USD

Now to the important stuff. We need to buy at least 10 pcs of each part to get this price.They gave us 40% discount so no idea to discuss...

The FPR is nothing I think you want now, price is higher than US FPR´s and two mounts delivery time. They want to test it on their race cars before they release it and that´s good.

What do you think?

Not a word... I take that as a no. You can at least tell me what´s wrong. Too expensive? Too ugly?

Australian guys, interested?

I'm sure some people will jump on, just give them a little time.

I know I'd be all over the mounts and fuel rail if I wasn't selling the car. But just to clarify, is it just the engine mounts, or is there a transmission mount in there too? And any material for the mounts cost the exact same?

No transmission mount but can be made if you are a bunch.

The price is the same but three different "stages", hard, very hard and damn hard. First one is best for street guys.

Mike, don't get offended by these guys not responding. Sometimes people's goals are bigger than their pockets can support. I don't think their is anyone here who wouldn't love a piece of this equipment, but I've come to learn over the years that our CA bunch is one of the most cheapest bunch of enthusiasts on the market and that is no bull. If someone really need something, they'll let you know............

Ok, thanks Dee. These prices are really low if you compare them to Swe and I thought people would like it.

Did I see the correct price on Tomei cam gears, 499 USD? If that is true, this got to be a good price for custom made billet gears.

i like the fuel rail and engine mounts a lot. The time to get them would be the only real downside.

Note on the tomei cam gears, they are 125 new per side. So 250 for the intake and exhaust cam gear.

a lot of people are on budgets, but at the same time, a lot of people are capable of making these items themselves.

Im not capable personally, but I got my cam gears made by a mate for free ( for a bit of ECU tuning time ). I cant see how fuel rails can be worth so much when they are so simple.

tho Im sure for people without "hookups", then those prices are probably quite good

Good questions, I´ll answer a few of them.

These fuel rails are bolt on for CA but AN fittings, a good thing if you want to upgrade and easier if you want to use a race regulator.Thet also come in two versions, one for jap injectors (stock size) and one for Bosch sized injectors. The Bosch version also include the clips to hold the injector.Over here we love the Bosch injectors and it´s easy to find big ones cheap.They are also treated inside to stand alcohol abuse.

The cam gears are aluminum and it´s hard to compare them to rebuilt stock ones. Light weight is always nice on moving parts.These also got degree marks for adjusting.Some people like bling-bling stuff and these with give you both that and function, like HKS.

the cam gear prices arent that bad, nor the fuel rail, and certainly if the mounts are 40 dollars.......thats really cheap. I wouldnt call the ca group cheap, but the people with bigger money normally put bigger more expensive motors in their cars. SR20, RB series.....

Those cost way more, and those kind of people over here have the 700+whp Sr's and big power rb's.

I am in no means a cheap person. I buy exactly what I want, more times out of pure desire than necessity. However my car is in the shop right now(to get the wiring cleaned up, install some simple stuff, blah blah,blah, and i cant get it on this group buy right now, or believe me I would.

Surely my interest is in the fuel rail and cam gears, but not just yet can I afford them. give this sometime to build up in peoples minds, and ca people arent exactly used to all these parts to stare at and have all these options. Just keep it bumped and be patient.

oh, mark me down for a Fuel Rail(with jap injectors, I dont have a standalone yet)

Ill be ready by the time more people get in on this. Its cheap people, thats what I paid for a walbro.

Agree on the prices, I think it´s ok? Custom parts for e-bay $$$.

I´ll give this 3-4 days but for now it looks like the GB is off...
