"Keeping it Simple"
Really? I guess they now know how long it takes to ship from Australia...wow I guess Dave can perform the required modifications (test fitter still didn't work out perfectly), ship them to the states, and get them to our door by Friday the 21st. Now that is amazing stuff...wish all of my crap moved that fastWonder if Vision billed me too...

Looks like they will be a bit longer now. I am going to try to get my money back this BS is getting on my nerves.
I thought about doing the same, but since this is going to be my last performance mod for a good, long while I decided to keep waiting.

I am done trying to mess with this car.
Everytime i make some progress more negative happens.
I am buying another 300zx twin turbo and getting some real speed.
My Theory,
Well guys This is what I think happened. The Package got caught up in customs. think of it like this. We just got went through Sept 11 again and in order to prevent any other incidents Security was up all over. and Recieving a package of 50+ heasers from Australia may not seem like news to us but it may have been a big issue out in California when they got the package. That's what I think Happened. I was thinking about it last night. Maybe it was somehtnig else but that is what keeps me going for now.

They have not even been shipped yet.
worst yet
They are not ready to be shipped.
even worse.
They have to make another set of corrections.
So figure a month from now we might see them.
If youve been following the other post about these headers and following the link in that forum that takes you to the Eclipse Forum you will see that the corrected headers prototype was shipped out and there are still corrections that need to be made. Even more corrections than when Chip had them. We are looking at another 3 to 5 weeks before these are shipped with the corrected design.
If Dave @RPW makes another change to them and there are more problems, look for another wait after the original 3 weeks.
Matt
Love,
Matt
lets narrow it down further.
Dave sent someone names Rach the original corrected pipe a couple of weeks ago. She just got it put on this week. Several weeks after getting it. She found out and posted yesterday, that they still did not fit without modifications, but they were installed tuesday.
Dave has not sent out any of the v6 headers. The 4 cyl and 7g headers are already at vision. Now he has to fix the new problems. Looks like he should pick more test fitters like chip that get it done quickly.
Maybe by next year we will have them. Sorry I am just very dissapointed in all the mess.
To clarify some information here
(A) 23 Sets of 8G Galant / Eclipse I4 headers have been freighted and arrived at the Orlando Airport. There is a time delay for customs and then for them to be delivered via a truck to Vision Imports. I would be very surprised that the crate is not at Vision Imports by now.
(There were some fitment problems with the V6 headers but we are organising right now to modify a set in stock and send them via air fright direct to vision Imports who will contact a local custoemr and fit them up straight away. This will be done probably Wednesday / Thursday and allow us to still work within our time frame of 3 weeks.
© The 7G Galant headers are now under production working off the results of Vision Imports tst fitment to a car. They will be definitly leavingat the same time as the V6 headers. IF the V6 headers are not ready to go the 7G headers will leave seperate then to get things moving.
Note - the ari freight of our pallets only takes 4 days to deliver from Australia to the USA. We then have to allow for customs and further transport which is approx 3 days.

thanks for clearing that up Dave. The word I keep getting from matt is that they are expecting them but for some reason they haven't got them yet. Dave told me that he went ahead and charged my card earlier this week, and that I should expect the header with the jet-coat by the end of next week or Early October at the Latest.

No problems - I know matt is trying very hard to get these headers out to everyone as well as start stocking these items for future customers. Bear with him as he sorts things out as remember, this is all new territory for all of us shipping larger qauntities of extractors to the USA.

Ship mine out first....
Love,
Matt
Word from the freight company is that they had to ship it to Tampa, Orlando I think instead of the Orlando international airport because of customs and then the customs broker had to go through the paperwork. Being the first package of this nature we had to sort out the legalities so we can make it quicker next time.
Anyway the goods are being delviered to Vision Imports this week I beleive once through customs.

Tim,
What about the V6 HFC from RPW? Will those be coming with the V6 Headers? I ordered one with my headers, as well as a Rising FPR.
Anxiously waiting for those 3 things....!
Dave if you can elaborate, go ahead.
Matt
Love,
Matt
Yes HFC units will be an option for the V6 header systems.
Yes we just sent a heap of FPR units off to Vision but we will probably need to send some more to cope with the increased demand (This is a good thing).
The latest test sample aer on there way to Vision and we should have word back very soon on there fitment.
