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?

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
