  1. Hypothetically speaking, if a garage buys a car for 10K then I would expect them to be looking for 10% net return. So the asking price would require to be marked up accordingly to achieve this. Taking into account all the overheads as mentioned above, expenses and taxes, income tax, corporation tax, and VAT etc. Also, a discount to the non P/X buyer or an over allowance on the p/x value would mean that they would require a screen price of circa 13.5k A 10% net return on their investment is not unreasonable in my book. If I sold a car to a dealer for 10k and a week later he had it up for sale at 13.5k on his forecourt, I would not be miffed as I know how the car sales system works.
  2. Yes, but they are not compatible I am afraid.
  3. Both the brands you have mentioned are market leaders and are very popular within the trade. Both easy to work with if you are conversant with sealer application.
  4. Best to just get your mechanic to go to his local Nissan dealership with the pipe in hand and order the part off there parts department schematic.
  5. For sale is a fresh preowned Ultra Racing "W" bracing. £125.00 delivered.

    350z W Brace

    I have brand new OEM "W" bracings in stock. I also have a very fresh preowned Ultra racing "W" bracing in stock. Just drop me a PM if I can help further.
  8. No matter what finish you go for it will not be protected from kerbing I am afraid.
  9. If you want a quote then just drop me a PM. OEM replacement discs and pads are in stock and good to go same/next day
  10. For £300.00 you will get a budget set of rotors and a budget pad similar to the Brembo aftermarket pads or Mintex, Pagid etc if you want to spend a bit more then just upgrade the pads as the budget rotors will work okay for normal road use.
  11. I have always looked on Comma stuff as a budget brand. I would try a different brand of oil, have a look on the Opie Oils web site and choose carefully and perhaps a slightly heavier viscosity.
  12. What is your budget?
  13. When you are dealing with budget brake stuff I would not read too much into the reviews. Perhaps informed recomendations from other forum members may be more accurate.
  14. No that is excessive in my book but whether you live with it, sell it to a garage or fix it is down to you. What oil brand and viscosity are you running with.
  15. Your OEM cats will burn off the oil so you may have very little obvious exhaust emissions. You don't say the mileage the car has covered however assuming it is high then it will just be normal wear and tear, oil control rings, piston ring glands, valve guides, valve stem oil seals, ECV, hoses. etc etc.
