    Yeah 60 bucks sounds about right. Oh and could you point me in the direction where I could get rotors for 60 bucks to down here.

    Slotted rotors are about 250 bucks for a pair down here. We get reamed down here, I just ordered US$150 worth of gear for my front end from Black Dragon Auto over there, same amount of stuff over here would cost me AU$615

    Yeah that is about right for a pair, compared to new stock rotors which are about $200 here from Nissan.

    Yeah we get raped a bit, I think it's mainly because almost every Z31 part you can get here is a special order item and something they rarely have in stock.

    Here's another example of the bullshit I have to put up with, I was doing the injectors today on the '88 aswell as soldering on new injector connectors and during the process I noticed that the air regulator hose was starting to break down. Called Nissan, $21 dollars for that hose which is probably about 2 inches of rubber! LOL

    We sure do get ripped off.

    Perhaps we could organise a bit of marketing between countries. :P
