the cheapest profc II boost controller (you know the Greddy one) that i could find here was $450.00 (highest was $600.00) i got it of Nengun for $350.00. also a greddy ls-spec intercooler was $429.00 and the cheapest one here was around $800.00 (highest was $999.00).

they were really good but then to dollar went south and now its better to get it from someone locally.

also their stuff takes like 3-4weeks to deliver so if you need it now then get it locally if you can.

i think bargaining for a business kinda sends mixed messages to consumers and is too much of a headache as one person will question why one got so and so for so and so price and so on so so. It is more efficient in a business sense to just stick to the game plan.

it wouldnt hurt to ask but id say unless your spending 5k plus on say 5+ items i dont think your gonna get a discount. If you can get it cheaper at your local tuner it would make sense to get it off him wouldnt it? shop around, compare prices and ask yourself if delivery times is worth the money saved. i myself am willing to pay abit extra to get soemthing in my hands quicker if I really need it.

I think it is always worth asking for a discount. especially in this economy. there are profit margins

all down the line & we all know the majority of the stuff we buy is INSTANTLY worth between 10% and

30% of what we paid the moment it comes out of the box and is fitted. With the possible exception

of three famous big brake kits, and some alloy wheels..

Anyway I did ask, and a nengun person said for a combined order of sufficient size they can do

something. Culturally I know Japanese businesses tend to stick to list prices on single items.. but

with the yen so ridiculously high vs even the USD, I reckon their trade has fallen off a cliff. They're

going to have to do something & soon.

yeah theres always no harm in asking. AUD sucks mega aloa, has stopped me buying heaps of things that i wouldnt have thought twice on 6 months ago. I guess your right that they're suffering on their side also, never really thought of it that way. I've heard some local parts importers here have closed up due to it. ah well...what can you do really.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
