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..

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?

    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
