Vic Wasteland Thread - 15.0

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.

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?
