This is almost funny now.
No-one is willing to set the record straight about Nitto ? Provide any REAL INFO ?
Fact: 5 people have bought these pumps recently and although I know Dirtgarage is a very respected member of this forum, please tell me it was simply NOT a case of purchasing them because 'he said so'.......
Building this motor is difficult enough, once you get to the bottom of all the BS on the internet and people's opinions. I want an indestructable Pump. This Nitto 'sounds' great, but I want more info.
I will use Canadian Pricing and Canadian availability for my comparison that follows:
Nismo - $1050 CAD
Jun - $1200 CAD
Tomei - $1600 CAD
Nitto - $1330 CAD ($1400 AUD Shipped)
$1.00 CAD = $1.05 AUD = $0.92 USD

One thing I can't get over is the fact that, although this pump might be good value in Australia, everything is so expensive here compared to North America, I wonder HOW INFLATED the price of this Nitto Pump is by comparison.
You guys pay nearly $600 for N1 Pump (we pay $300 on a bad day), over $2200+ ($2950 from JustJap) for Tomei (we pay $1600 CAD tops).....and this can't simply be an Exchange Rate/Money Market thing, because it doesn't add up !
So, can I buy this Nitto pump out of Japan or is there a 'Real World' price for it that is NOT based on simply being a Tomei 'market' competitor ?
