See the problem that I have in North Queensland here is that most people are charging similar amounts to get A series motors as they are for CA style motors... I mean, $1250 to rebuild my stock standard A12, no performance mods or anything, just a basic rebuild (And they said the would need to 'research' the A series engine cause non of them knew anything about it). And around $1500 for an A15 motor non rebuilt with no warranty.. Where as they quote me $1800 to get a complete Silvia front cut...
It doesnt leave me with many options, my current A12 is on the way out and I need to get something done within the next 2 or so months... And any parts through the internet need to be frieghted, and my level of mechanical skill is minimal. I had these exact same problems with my R31 skyline..
