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 know its a solid effort... but i just dont get it.

its like trying to be the world's fastest kia carnival with minor mods. make all the power you want, its still a 2+tonne boat.

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

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
