i priced up a front lip for a 32 gtr about 1 1/2 years ago from lander, nepean motor group, and hornsby nissan.

im a mechanic, so they all gave me trade price, lander and nepean were around the same price, hornsby were around $100 cheaper!

where i worked, we used lander and nepean a fare amount. went to pennant hills for 2 weeks, thought id call, and they gave me the cheaper price straight off the bat.

other than that, i havnt really tried anyone else.

please note-ALL 3 above mentioned did help me search for the part, just that hornsby had the best price.

Chris in parts dept. from Nepean Motor group penrith is a good bloke, he usually sits at the front desk.

probably can find places cheaper for parts but nepean is local enough to me & he's always been helpful sourcing parts for me especially when I first got my v36 & literally nobody heard of it (even just cars had to update their database when I first got it because they previously had no record of one lol)

+1 for Chris at Nepean Motor Group!:thumbsup:

He's spent hours trawling through FAST on numerous occasions for obscure Aero Selection Stagea parts for me, very helpful and very keen on imports too!

Normally only a 2 week wait at worst; but had a gasket show up in just over a week a while back.

I've just placed an order last week for a spare key (M35) through McGrath Nissan at Kirawee which was about 60 bucks cheaper then Rockdale Nissan.

They were very helpfull and all about cutting and programing etc..., However I neede to pay in full for the order prior to ordering not just deposit?

i have a mate at kloster nissan spare parts in newcastle. I supply part numbers as i have fast and never have a problem, even nismo parts. prices are pretty good as we do each other favours. usually receive parts within 2 wks from japan.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
