lol @ "cheap" and "genuine" being used in the same sentence.

yeah maybe "discounted genuine parts" would have been a better choice of wording.

anyway i found these http://www.kudosmotorsports.com/catalog/gt..._22_26_448.html

not to bad....

you may be surprised if you have a good friendly chat to the parts guy and ask about trade or discounted price. when i was sourcing my 100km service parts i had a good chat with an enthusiastic parts guy, he ended up giving me some sort of discount without me even asking. top bloke!

Give KDS parts a call, Better than Trade prices on nissan stuff in most cases. She is on this forum aswell, Cazz i think it is

1300 667 102

they wont answer the phone with KDS parts, It will be an I.T. shop just ask for KDS parts,

I went to nissan to buy a 18mm hose leading from the resevouir to the steering pump , they tried to charge me $120 for a stupid hose. But i just went to the wrekcers and pulled one of another R31 lol.

Whatever you want I can get it as cheap as it gets as I order a signifigant amount of stuff through Nissan ;)

You'll need to supply me with the part numbers and what price you have been quoted so far.

(send me a PM).

Interesting!

I shall keep that in mind if I need anything.

However that said, quite often there is very little margin between my price, trade price & retail price.

So all stuffing around, end of the day it's just easier for you to ring em and order yourself.

Nissan are actually quite reasonably priced for a lot of things.

It's only when you chase electronic stuff that you get reamed:

CAS

Coil packs

Ignitors

Loom

And so on. Otherwise gasket kits and that kinda thing you are talking at times only $20, which ordering from interstate @ cheaper and then adding on postage, time, effort you might as well just eat the $10 and get it yourself ;)

I just dont have time to chase part numbers - otherwise i would gladly help everyone all the time.

Part numbers makes it as simple as a phone call for me :D

Yeah sure, that's understandable.

I'm just saying if I need to source specific parts, your link to Nissan would come in handy at times.

Yes I will research into the part / part number 1st... Gotta find out what it is and what you need, of course ;)

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
