Gloria window electric motor: ~$500 from Nissan. Identical 350Z part, $250 from the US shipped.

There's a reason that a certain local Nissan dealership approached an importing friend of mine and asked him to order in half a dozen parts from a nissan dealership in the UK... Even with an importing fee, the local dealership themselves saved thousands compared them buying it direct from Nissan Japan.

Hell I think Nissan Brighton wanted ~$800 for an RB N1 water pump, ended up buying it off ebay from Nissan Tacoma in the USA for approx $250 delivered in under a week (Faster than Nissan Brighton could have gotten it for me)

Exchange rate has changed a bit nowdays though

Hell, an N1 oil pump for $240USD? Yes please.

Service industries are collecting more and more customer data but don't have the capability to process/analyse & ultimately act on meaningful information.

The same role within manufacturing has existed forever due to processing lines having a heap of sensors/variables which can be flexed to produce great outcomes for the factory.

Banking industry has mirrored a lot from the manufacturing world & as other service industries see the value in data-collection & analysis, the demand for such roles will continue to grow.

However receiving big cash isn't as simple as Marketing degree + Maths degree.

It all comes down to paying for the experience rather than the skillset & as it appears there is a shortage.

Turn it down father in law has an amg never paid anything like that only goes to Mercedes dealer.. Ya boss having ya on mate

Yeah cos my best mate would lie to me because he's got so much to gain..

Also buy a lot of parts from IMPARTS. Exact same part, just doesn't have the logo etched onto it. Half the markup.

Keeps us employed now

Only thing is in this market people sell for good reasons

Upgrade

Job relocations etc

You guys do realize a crash doesn't change a whole lot? Just the prices but they still turn over do you think America stopped ? Course not.

Let's not forget that bubble thread I got hammered in yet anyone who listened to those flogs would be 20+% worse off if they stayed out of the market LOL

12 years in still waiting for the 50% correction..

i can understand being passionate about unusual cars, but not when is basically a lifted, heavier falcon. why not do AWD transplant falcon?

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
