C-red have the full Borla Catback instock for $1600, maybe a bit less with a cash offer! Ive had a quick look over the net and Borla online is about $1200USD without shipping, online pricing about USD$900 without shipping - but the big pain is finding a company willing to go through the hassle of shipping here. most online stores wont! And shipping would run into about $150USD-$200 depending on who you use, so thats already getting close to $1400, and thats on a good day if it slides through customs!

Hey Jaik,

Looks like its gone down a bit from when I spoke to them. Closer to $1800 was what I was thinking.

I'm a member of some US forums who have some great deals for the users from Vendors. The borla for example I can order today at $1045 USD ($830+$215 shipping). At todays exchange rate, thats ~$1270 AUS.

Compare that to $1600 from C-red, plus shipping to Sydney, and it adds up.

I've bought a couple of things from the US forums and most vendors are more than willing to ship to Sydney. They probably wack on a bit extra for the hassle, but IMO still worth it,

Another example - My Tein springs cost me $300 to my door from the US, arrived in 4 days. The best price I got here was closer to $600. ZAINO detailing stuff, I paid over $100 less getting it sent from the US for more products.

Cheers

Bobby

Hey Rache,

I'll try and find who I got them from , but it was a vendor on G35Driver.com. Look in the classifieds section, you'll find heaps. I've found that these are the best prices. Sign up and send some PM's, they get back to you pretty quick, and most are happy to ship to Australia.

Yeah, But I think the exhausts were purchased about 18 months ago so unfortunately it would be a big hit to sell them at what you can get them for now. probably more suited to a local buyer that doesnt want to take the risk of buying off the internet from the US :wub:

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
