If you keep your eye out you can pick up a hole front end for under $500, then keep what you have for spares.

I'll be bringing a couple of sets back from oz anyway since they are cheap, so let me know when you are ready to do them to see if the oz ones are a better price.

PR · Post by PR » Sun Jun 10, 2007 9:26 am

When are you going to aussie :?:

I would be intrested in a set as well if the price is write :twisted:

DaveM · Post by **DaveM** » Sun Jun 10, 2007 9:28 am

Not until the end of next month, the kits range from $130-180aus which seems ok.
Not sure what the trade price is here, so may look at that too.
Will let you know if I still have a contact at BNT, if so, will give you a price

Dave,
While you're over there, check out the prices for genuine Nissan body mounts and control arm bushes. When I was there last year, they worked out to be just over 1/2 price of what we pay here.

DaveM · Post by **DaveM** » Sun Jun 10, 2007 1:12 pm

Will do. You interested in some if I bring any back? I'd probably look at bringing a spare set anyway if they work out that much cheaper.
Even PTO shear pins are only $7 over there, I paid $18 :roll:

I'm all good thanks Dave. I brought back a complete set of body mounts and bushes last year and gave my truck a birthday.
