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.

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
